Redefining the Scope of Things · 11:00am Apr 17th, 2018
Hey, guys.
So let's just cut to the chase, I've been pretty inactive on here. I still read an occasional story, do a review on Rage Reviews, and maybe once in a blue moon push out updates, but for the most part, nothing is moving.
The truth is, I'm stuck in a rut. I've been having this massive struggle with trying to move forward with my life, and very little about anything has changed for the past five years now, and it's bothering the hell out of me.
It kills my motivation to write anything, and just makes me feel like shit in general.
I want things to change for the better, I want to get the chance to improve, but to do that, I have to write more, and that just isn't appealing to me at all.
So here's what we're gonna do.
My thought every time I come back to fimfiction is 'fuck I have to write this' or 'fuck I have to write that' etc. etc. Well, 'have to write' is going to change to 'want to write'.
I need to redefine my scope when it comes to putting out fics, and plain and simple I am not good at updating fics regularly, if at all.
With that in mind, I'm going to be cancelling a few of my fics. They are enormous weights on my mind that keep coming back to haunt me and for now, I'm going to stick to one shots and maybe the occasional multi-chaptered fic that I write out before I publish anything.
I'll put out blog posts for the fics in question as I cancel them.
I sincerely apologize to anyone who was expecting updates to any unfinished fics from me. I need to come to terms with the fact that I am not the kind of guy who can keep to a fic updating schedule, I just don't have the motivation in me. Keeping to small stories is better for now, but who knows, as my life moves along and hopefully changes, I might write out some other longfic that people might like. At my current state it is hard to not feel like some washed up has-been who can't put out any more content because 'writing is hard!!11!1111'.
So...yeah. that's where I'm at. thanks for reading.
You WANT to write about stupid sexy Granny Smith.

I know you've mentioned some of the stuff you've been through before and so I can sympathize a bit. And to be honest I'm happy that you're doing what you can to make things better, and I don't fault you at all for cancelling fics if it's necessary to achieve this.
A reminder that we're always here for you
I know how that feels, ive been suffering a similar thing myself. Im on an extended break until i decide what the future is gonna be for my stories...
