A few things · 7:44am Nov 27th, 2014
So, first of all, just finished a little anime called AnoHana tonight. I'm conflicted over whether the ending is sad or happy. I think it's both. But still, ;_;
Second, things that pertain to you wonderful people. I hate to do it, but I'm going to use that dreaded word: hiatus. That's right, I'm going on hiatus; although, it may be a little different that you're imagining. I'm not going to stop writing cold turkey, I'm just not going to be writing very often during my hiatus.
Why? Three things: school, wrestling, and girl. While I'm not going to go into detail on my love life, I will say that this one... she's kind of special. She honestly doesn't take up a whole lot of time though.
Probably the most prominent thing eating at my time is school. Six hours a day, plus the fuckload of homework that comes with taking AP classes... I would much rather write for you guys than write multiple essays every week for school, but unfortunately, we can't have it our way all the time. Phooey.
Last but not least, wrestling. Yes, the monster strikes for the second time during CB's long life. I'm feeling quite optimistic about this year, really. Last year as a sophomore battling his way through a varsity lineup of juniors and seniors was tough; surprisingly, I managed to place third in CIF at the end of the season, with both a leg screwed up so badly I couldn't stand on it and a broken thumb I'd been dealing with all season, but got kind of killed at the master's tournaments. Didn't even get close to qualifying for state.
This year, I know I'll do better. First place is my goal, and I've been working hard for it. The drilling, the sparring, the sprints... My god, the sprints. Just a few hours ago I had my head in the bushes, puking until I couldn't breathe. Two coaches stood by, telling me to get it all out so I could get back to practice. I did, and I did more sprints.
So, I'm working pretty hard for this. Last year I stressed myself out so badly that I basically just gave up and said I was done with everything... Not just ponies, but school and sports as well. Writing was a large part of that stress, since I felt I had an obligation to get out chapters as soon as possible. And just know, it wasn't because I was being pestered or harassed by any of you wonderful people. A few messages and comments asking when the next chapter would be out let me know that you guys were still interested. The whole stress thing was self-induced. I'm really glad that I managed to attract the kind, understanding readers and followers.
I'm not leaving the fandom, I'm not cancelling any of my stories, I just need to have that obligation to write lifted off my shoulders while I focus on other things for now. While writing really is fun, it's also a ton of work... And more work is something I could do without for the time being.
tl;dr Maso menos hiatus for a little while. Stay thirsty, my friends, and I lub you all
I'm still feeling a little sad

I cried a little
