Modern censorship is a seriously insane thing though because of overblown sensitivities and the nonsense trends of cancel culture. I’ll be respectful because I need my company to be successful but I’m still going to be myself. Writing is my main passion, including intense themes.

When I get to the historical fiction I want to write, it’ll be more daunting but there will be two versions of it because of the themes involved. It’s part of the reason why I’m an indie writer who’s taking on the task of building a creative company.

I include intense themes in my work including language. Trigger warnings are annoying but I’ll use them because I don’t want to force anyone to read something they’re uncomfortable with and I don’t condone the intense themes.

I admit that I occasionally look at TikTok but I’m very iffy about how I’ll handle being part of BookTok when I get to that point for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons being the pointless ways certain words are censored.

I’m used to being criticized, my honest opinions will sometimes be harsh and my favorite kind of humor is dry, especially sarcasm. I’ll still only and always use platforms in good ways and not to play the victim for the bad things I’ve experienced.

As much as I’m looking forward to content creation with my fiancé, I have to say that it’s an insane mess to get into. I struggle with how I feel about myself more often than not but that’s what I’m going to be however my work as a content creator begins; just Nina Siren.

Not done working on the spicy fantasy but taking a little break to watch things on YouTube and my thoughts are going through different creative things.

Of course for Monster Mash I had to use a vintage dance gif.

There were also tweets I made sharing the music as I played it and things that may be interesting. Like the skeleton in Ghost isn’t just a general effect in the video. Also I never noticed that the Family is more Regency era than Medieval except for the jesters.

Michael Jackson (Thriller and Ghost), Monster Mash, I put a spell on you, Sally’s song (Amy Lee version), and This is Halloween. I accidentally forgot the best classical scary song; A night on Bald Mountain. I’ll listen to that in the morning. If anyone has any scary songs, comments are appreciated.

After the spicy fantasy, my focus will be on a spooky story. It’s going to be after October when I write it but I don’t see that as a problem because I say there’s nothing wrong with enjoying horror outside of October. It’s going to be about a vacation going wrong during a stop in a small town.

The spicy fantasy is going nicely, I added a little more drama to it for one of the other main characters. I won’t make any guesses about when because I might get caught up in more research but it’ll be on the Ko-Fi in the near future.

Things are currently pleasant. While talking to my fiancé and working on writing, I made up for lost time with scary themed music. Between the bad experience of food poisoning, worse stress and worrying about a number of things, I haven’t had much opportunity to make the most of my favorite month.

I’ll end the series of posts here but whatever path my company takes as it grows, it’s only going to be more genuine than anything and at best, it’s taken me so many years to get to that point. At worst, anxiety takes control but even then, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I wasn’t honest.

As an aspiring content creator, I’ll have to get used to my voice and being on camera. Currently, I rather be behind one taking photos but I see myself making gaming videos and talking about trending topics with my fiancé.

As a writer, I’ll only be genuine as my work will never be AI generated, I won’t do collaborative work until I’m able to give the person I work with every cent I owe them and I have a lot of anxiety to work through as I continue to put my work online.

I’m no longer foolishly optimistic but among my sarcasm and occasional cynicism, I rather see people be successful, especially if I take the time to learn more about them and see that they’re true to what they present to others.

Apologies but this will be a lengthy series of posts. There are still days where I don’t like myself but I have too much work to do and as I’ve said before, it’s the difference between being a good person and playing the victim. I’ll never play the victim, not even on my worst days.

It’s something that I’ve struggled with more than anything. When I was a kid, I was foolishly optimistic. I just wanted to be happy and a good person. I still want to be a good person but I’ve learned about my version of what it means to be real.

I can’t do them here because the people I want to mention aren’t on this platform as far as I know but I can say something that hopefully won’t be too much of a long tangent but I want to make a few posts about the realness of my company and content creation.

Got a good cup of coffee, my fiancé on the phone and I’m compiling work for the spicy fantasy in a journal as well as looking through my phone notes.

Been doing more brainstorming than writing even though creative work will be done. I’m just more frustrated as I try to get my head clear. On a good note, I had a very welcomed visitor earlier.

This week has been a mess among other things but today is officially a writing day with the spicy fantasy. I’m not making any guesses about when I’ll send it to my fiancé to post on Ko-Fi but it will be done in the near future. I just have a little more research left.

Ended up at a sort of frustrating stalemate today because of how the week turned out to be but my only choice is to turn everything I’m feeling into focus. In someway. I should be sleeping but I can’t really relax, all I know is that I’ll be making use of this quote.

You’re welcome. Your response almost had me panicking for a second because I thought there was a typo in my post. Hope you’re having a great week.
