I have two people I’ve met that have influenced me positively. 
@empcthic and @catchthatregenerator 
Speaking with them has made me more confident with reaching out to people in a way. They’re so friendly and incredibly nice and it’s had a really good effect on me. As for affecting my writing, the Adam and Whale rp we’re starting will give me a chance to write a less cocky and more intrigued version of Whale.
