I'm really sorry · 5:36am Jan 10th, 2016
To all of you who were expecting an update on How the Night was Lit Up. I'm sorry, but I cancelled it. I didn't want to do this, but there was no option.
My first mistake was not planning the whole story before starting it, or even publishing it. My second was the "Sunset meets Celestia again" part. That screwed me over. I couldn't escape from any cliché. Celestia was too forgiving to let Sunset take the blame. Sunset had changed too much to think nothing that happened was her fault. I didn't want to write a cliché, but I had no other way around it. So I wrote a cliché.
After that, it pretty much went downhill. I didn't know how to advance the story. For a major advancement, it'd take some time. I could either write lots of filler chapters or just give it a timeskip. Both felt too lazy. Again, I didn't know what to do.
Then, came the classic feather that adds enough weight to crack the bridge. Writer's block. I couldn't find anything to write. I was uninspired. So I started to play games to see if I could find something that would bring me back. But I didn't. I started wasting more and more time with games, dropping the interest in writing this story.
Another huge factor was that, in almost all of my blogs, there's not even a single comment. I know, most of you don't follow me, but it still brings me down to see that out of all the people who follow me, no one says anything. It makes me feel as though I don't have anyone supporting me. It also may sound like I'm complaining that no one comments, but I'm not. I can't do anything if they don't want to, and complaining won't get me anywhere.
I wanted to wait more time before cancelling, but I decided now was better. The sooner I get rid of this dead weight, the sooner I'll be able to start anew. And now I've learned some lessons. I'm not fit for long stories. Chapters can't be written over the course of the day. And most important, just because you feel like you could manage to do it, doesn't mean you'll actually be able to complete it.
I'm sorry to hear that. The story was getting pretty good. I understand entirely.
