It's been almost a year since my last story update, and if I'm going to be honest I think I'm running out of steam for writing. I've always enjoyed writing these stories, but at the same time I feel like it's been hard to get feedback on some of them and I feel that it's impacted my motivation significantly. I've never written strictly for comments and other people's approval. But with any creative work, getting feedback and having the sense that your work is being seen and appreciated drives some of it. In addition my professional and personal life situations have changed significantly since I decided to try and fulfil a childhood dream of being a writer, and as a result I've had less time to work on my writing. As of right now, Night Terrors has roughly two more chapters left, and I think once I finish that I'm going to step back from writing here for the foreseeable future.
That said, I want to extend my thanks and gratitude for everyone who's commented on my work over the last handful of years. It's a small thing, I know, but I've read each and every comment I've gotten, and I really appreciate every one. I've always had the wish that readers would follow along with my stories and comment on what they've been seeing or think might happen, and while I feel like that wish hasn't been fully fulfilled the way I was hoping for over the years, all of your comments and thoughts have been very appreciated, and have meant the world to me as a writer.
To close this all off, I don't like to think of this as a permanent goodbye. But once Night Terrors is finished I'll very likely be stepping away from writing for a long time.
Who knows though, maybe someday I'll come back with some new and exciting stories?
Sad to hear that, but please take care! I enjoyed those stories of yours that I've read : )
