    In Retrospect: Ponies and Cage / The Beasts of Tartarus

    Why yes, it has been 24 weeks since my last retrospective blog post, but who was counting anyway? I'm back for another round and that's what matters!

    Once again, I'll be taking a look at my past work and posing the question of... why? Will I know the answer? Probably not, but keep reading to find out! Today I'll be looking at Ponies and Cage and The Beasts of Tartarus!

    In Retrospect: Legacy of the Sun / My Little WTF

    Greetings, champion! Bet you didn't think I'd actually continue this, did you? Bet you thought I'd go and disappear for two years again? Honestly, wouldn't blame you, there's a bit of a precedent for it. But last time was fun, I wanna keep doing it! So, what's on the docket today?

    Ah. I see.

    In Retrospect: The 63rd Rune

    Hello, hey, hi, what's up, how's it going! It's me, Alexstrazsa, aka that guy who was deeply involved with the fandom but is now washed up, irrelevant, out of touch, and probably no one remembers him. That guy!

    Contrary to popular belief, I am not dead.

    Yo, what's up everyone? How's it going. I'm here with my... what year is it? Ah, yes, 2021.

    I'm here with my annual blog post, because let's be real, I've been disconnected from this fandom since like 2016. But I was digging through a lot of old screenshots I had, and had a lot of fond memories of my time in the MLP fandom.

Officially on Hiatus · 7:54am Sep 2nd, 2014

This has been coming for a while now, and I'm sure everyone has already assumed this of me. It's not like I've really written anything in the past few months, and what I have written wasn't even close to being acceptable for publishing.

So yeah, I'm officially declaring my writing "on hiatus" until further notice. I've really just entirely lost the willpower to write, and even though I have ideas, writing is such a chore to me. It's at the point where I'd rather do anything else instead of writing, like art or video editing. Sorry if this comes as a disappointment to anyone.

It's just my writing, though. I'll still be active in the community and maintaining my website. I do have a commission or two that's been paid for already, but if I find that I really can't bring myself to work on those, I will be refunding them. Hopefully it doesn't come to that point, but I can't say for sure.

Sucks to not be able to do the one thing you're kinda good at.

You don't give yourself enough credit. I can think of few other people in the fandom who throw themselves into quite so much stuff as you do, and that fact alone is pretty admirable. And that's on top of your artwork, and your website design, and your mouse mat business, and the fact I'm still convinced that you're actually Nic Cage in disguise etc.

I'm sure your writing spark will come back eventually. But in the meantime, don't forget that despite what you tell yourself, there's plenty of other stuff that you're very talented at :raritywink:

It happens dude. Follow your muse and it might eventually bring you back to writing, but even if it doesn't you shouldn't force yourself to write just for the sake of writing.

In short, chill and do what feels right.

Well, if anything, there's more time to devote to your website and mousepadsie thingies, and art stuffs, and, and, and whatever else the hell you do.
EqD prereading, even.

Sympathies. Keep buggering on.

Give it some time, brother. Trust me, patience is required when this happens

This is exactly how it's been for me over the past few months.

;_;

I know that feel, bro.

Just FYI, my commission to you isn't a huge deal. If you really want to refund, it'll be no hard feelings.

I understand entirely. Take some time, work on other things... we'll be ready for you when you come back to writing. Best of luck.

What do I owe you again? Shoot me a PM.

I understand completely like you I've had a long hiatus and still have issues with writing. You take care and remember we're behind you

Who cares? No matter what you write, people will eat it up like hot cakes.

Just writing at all is the hard part.
