A Bit of an Announcement · 3:50am Mar 13th, 2012
Hey guys, I hope you are all enjoying my new story! The first chapter of it is out and though much of it may not make sense now, it will all be explained later on. Don't you worry, I think these things through.... usually
Anyhow, that's not the reason I wanted to take some time out to make this blog post. You see, regardless of the fact that I SHOULD be working on the next chapter of Deeper Than Friendship, I have yet to write a word into it. The reason for this is not author's block or a lack to want to right the story, no, it's something else. Recently, I've started to find myself in sort of a semi-depressed state that's been sucking up a lot of my writing energy. As such, it sort of feels like I have to force myself to open up Word and begin writing a chapter/short story. And, as an author, those are the times I usually DON'T want to write. Not only am I not in the proper mind state to start writing, but the quality of the work may be a bit less than the usual because of my emotions. And I may unintentionally insert some of that sadness where it isn't due into my story, thus ruining some of the plot elements (Hehe, he said Plot).
It is because of this that I'm going to warn you all now. You may start to see a bit of a slower flow of content coming in. Meaning, don't expect a new installment every week or two weeks. Some days, I just won't have the energy or happiness in my emotions to start writing. Now, I'm certainly not going to stay this way forever or for a long time, I just need a bit of time to get over what it is I'm depressed about. And... you probably shouldn't ask what's the matter because regardless of how much I love you all, some matters I just keep to myself and sometimes my closest friends.
I hope you all understand and forgive me, I'll try my best to get through this funk I'm in and get back to producing quicker updates. In the mean time, I just need to sit back and take a breather from writing; and honestly, I'm telling you my work will have a significant drop in quality if I'm forcing myself to write.
I love you all, and I'll try to get through this soon.

I kind of understand what you're going through. I have trouble sitting down and writing sometimes as well. For me though, it's a fear that what I write just won't be good enough, so I stall.
I look forward to your next chapter of Deeper Than Friendship, and when I have time check out your other stories. :D
While I know that talking to someone is importent I do realize that solitude is also just as good. Sometimes you just need some time to think to your self.
