Where do we go from here? (Please read) · 7:33am Dec 18th, 2013
Hello everyone. I'm not sure if any of you even remember me or if you even care. However, there are somethings that I have neglected and need to say to you all here.
For those of you who remember me, you probably have a few questions.
Dude, where have you been?
The answer is simple: I've been away. I was recently employed and because of that didn't have really any time to write. But more importantly, I have been ashamed. I have been a coward because I was faced with a startling and depressing reality, and was too embarrassed to face you all. Why, you may ask? It's simple. I'm not a writer. At least, not in the sense of being able to acutely create vivid and fun stories for all to enjoy. No, my type of sub writing is known as "Engfish" writing, or Fluff writing. In short, I'm a writer want-to-be and pretty much have no idea what I'm doing. I thought I had it down. I thought I understood it all, but I've recently learned that I really don't. Does this mean I want to quit being a writer? Of course not. I want to learn, I want to grow, I want to better myself. But the fact is I'm not good enough now. I have a lot to learn and a lot to do before I can continue my journey here, if ever.
What about Genesis? Are you going to post more chapters? Or what about those other stories of yours?
I wish I could answer that, but I can't. I have no idea what will happen with those stories. As you all know, I love Genesis. As I've written it, I've fallen in love with the characters, especially Vinyl. But the sad reality is there is nowhere for it to go. It's atrociously underdeveloped, and the more I try to write it, the more I realize I don't know what I'm doing. As of now, Genesis is nothing but a well written flop. I'm grossly inexperienced and because of that, I'm going to put it, as well as all the other fics I had planned, on the shelf.
Where do we go from here?
The end is where we begin. This is true for me now. My old writing has ended, and now I go forward in an attempt to better myself. I have another, older non-pony project that I'd actually like to return to with some of my new found knowledge to see if I can work on it, but I'll probably get a no on that from my editor. We'll just have to see. But, I must bid you all a sad, but needed farewell. Will I ever return? I don't know. I want to, but that hardly constitutes as a foundation for the future. I guess it's really just up to Him.
So,
Never stop loving, and signing off for now,
-Power to the Bronys
While you are gone, I shall wait patiently. Everyone needs some time. If you do so choose to quit, so be it. This is your choice, not mine. I support your decision fully.
I must agree with the greatest military machine in the history of the world.
Should you choose to leave us here on FiMFiction, that is your decision.
But don't be a stranger.
Feel free to drop me a line sometime.
You're a neat guy, and I had come to enjoy the senseless banter we seemed so prone to start.
Wouldn't want to lose that.
