    Hi

    So, Im going to be honest right now.

    Im not sure if this is really that exciting to me anymore

    I mean, sure, making my own stories wrapped around this cute, whimsical universe of ours was fun during DTF and maybe a bit afterwards, but now.. I just cant really find the drive or want to write, it isnt that fun anymore for me.

    Throwing in the towel?

    Just recently, I've been considering quitting the whole fan-fiction thing all together. I mean, I told you guys I was 'back' and now I've barely made any progress on anything. My short terms have become mundane to work on and I can't seem to start a decent long-term story. Now, as I think about this it is a hard decision to make. As writing stories and having people read and like them is one of

    1-Shot vs. Long-Term

    So if you follow my blog at all or even care about what I write, You may have noticed that I am now back in the game of writing. Now, it has been roughly 2-3 months since I have finished Deeper Than Friendship, and since then I have managed to write a very minuscule number of fics. Of course, half of this time I was on hiatus but that still doesn't excuse the lack of activity.

    I'm back!

    So, I decided to take the month of September off as sort of an unofficial hiatus of sorts (Sorry i didn't tell you guys). So, during that month i didn't write any fan-fiction, brainstorm much, just did graphic art and took a break. Now, the reason i took a break wasn't because i hate all of you and don't care about you at all. No, the reason was that i just had a lot piling on top of me and i

Throwing in the towel? · 5:50am Nov 27th, 2012

Just recently, I've been considering quitting the whole fan-fiction thing all together. I mean, I told you guys I was 'back' and now I've barely made any progress on anything. My short terms have become mundane to work on and I can't seem to start a decent long-term story. Now, as I think about this it is a hard decision to make. As writing stories and having people read and like them is one of my pleasures in life. So, if I were to quit, would it be a complete resignation? I'd personally like to think not, but it would probably mean that updates from me would be doubly as rare as they are now, which is saying something. I often look back to how productive i was at producing literature before and compare it to now. And I can't help but feel disappointed in myself. What happened to me pumping out a chapter every week? As i question this and myself, the first answer is of course, the amount of content i produced then and now. Before, a 2,000 word chapter sufficed as good for me. Now, when I write I write upwards of 10,000 words, as most of you have seen. But deep down inside, I know that laziness has something to do with it. And then I question why I'm so lazy. I'm not usually, but maybe it's that i've lost motivation or ideas? What ever the answer is, I'm not sure.

It would break my heart to let down all of those that continue to support me, though it is a small number. I'm no RobCakeRan (Though i have spoken to him), but I'm still loyal to my fans.

But this all brings me to a question of you guys. How many of you still like my work and miss my stories? Do you even care anymore or remembered that you followed me in the first place? Do you think i did a good job before with my work? And what would you want to see if I were to stay?

Call it fishing for compliments, stroking my ego, or just telling me what i may already know. But right now, as down in the dumps as I am from almost everything you can mention, I could really use the motivation/ideas.

Thanks

Do you think i did a good job before with my work?

I definitely loved "Deeper Than Friendship". I have to say that you did a great job. :twilightsmile:

I would read more such long Romance stories written by you. :pinkiehappy:

totally agreed wit MysteriousBrony, i LOVED deeper than friendship, ive gone back several times and read it agai (i rarely if ever do that with ANYTHING ive read in my entire life, i loved it that much)!! :heart:

You are not the only one that is going through the same crisis. When I started writing I was filled with ideas and passion but now I just can't bring myself to even release a two thousand word chapter. I am trying but, since it's been a while since I wrote, it is hard. So what I did was, I went back to the old days when I started. I didn't make an outline and just wrote on what was on my head. Guess what, it works. My suggestion is that you go back in time and write like you use to. Refine that skill then move up. That's what I'm doing right now. Just a suggestion. Please don't leave.

To be brutally honest... You wrote one of my fave Flutterdash fan fics and for that I certainly have a decent ammount of my loyalty. However you loose that in almost.... Almost equal mesasure from your TwiDash that I really cant stand enough to even give a chance.

The question of if you go... I would remember you and thanks to "Deeper Than Friendship" you would be missed... but not enough that I would ask you to return if your heart isn't in the writing.

Good luck and if you ever return with more Flutterdash you can be sure I'll read it. :yay::heart::rainbowkiss:

In all honesty, I only started following you because of Deeper than Friendship, but you've got some good stories here. That Friendship story isn't developed nearly enough to pass criticism on (I woulldn't be surprised if you've actually scrapped it for one reason or another), but Me and My Sky was short and sweet, and 5 Steps to a Pony's Heart was good.

Your prose is a bit more purple than what I like, but you don't see you un-following you, do you? Ideas and motivation will come, just not all at once.

Don't quit just because you know you're lazy, or you don't have the time or whatever. Those who follow you (including me) love your stories, and will wait as long as it takes for an update or a new story. Please, don't join the crowd of other people that have done the same thing.

Ohhh I love your stuff!

Your style is great to read and your especially good at spinning an awesome romance fic. If you do decide to go I'll be sad and miss your work, but I'd understand...
