I Can't Keep Doing This. · 5:49am May 14th, 2023
There are several things I wish to address in this blog post, the first and foremost of which is the reason why I took down my latest story, Let Me Forget.
I'm dissatisfied with my writing style. Rereading my story after I had posted it, I couldn't help but cringe at how badly it turned out. I'm losing my touch. I simply don't feel like the same Erynaster I was when I first joined the site, which is why I felt the need to take down the story. Whether I'll post it again at a future time is completely unknown to me, but for now, I will be placing this passion project on hold.
Secondly, I will be taking a break from writing completely. I will be entering a hiatus for an indefinite amount of time, mostly due to factors outside of my control, such as busy schedules at school and my deteriorating mental health. I just need a break from everything.
And finally, I won't be leaving the site. I will merely be lurking about, gathering inspiration from the many wonderful stories to be found on this site, in the hopes that I can someday reignite the passion I had for writing long ago.
That's mostly everything that I wanted to address, and I'm sorry if this was a bit of a downer for you all to read. I just don't feel like myself anymore, and the last thing that I want is for it to affect the quality of the content that I put out here. I just need to focus on personal matters first.
Thanks for taking the time to read this far, if you have. Take care and have a lovely day, everypony.
Toodles.

Dont worry man, spend time on yourself dont run yourself ragged.
And remember we will wait for your return and we will miss your creatuve mind in here
~Hugs~
I just hope you're okay in the end. I worry about you.
Take all the time you need. Everyone needs a break every once in awhile.
I didn't get a chance to check it out, but I wish I had. The description alone made it look promising to me.
I understand needing a break, trust me. Motivation can be difficult to find and keep. I hope you’re doing alright, Eryn.
I don’t know if you’re religious or not, but if it’s worth anything to you, I’ll keep you in my prayers my friend. Take care, and don’t be a stranger! You ever need to chat, everyone here would be more than willing
It's okay to be like that, getting your creative juices out can be draining sometimes.
Maybe actually inserting yourself in those stories instead of Anon? Maybe getting the characters to connect with the real you and imagining the times could be better for the state of mind?
Don't know, just rambling, but when your stories are mostly Anon and comfort, one couldn't help but think stuff, the important thing is that you may feel better about yourself if you still has it~
