Lots of stuff I should discuss... · 11:26pm May 11th, 2013
So yeah, I'm aware I haven't been very active in fanfic for quite a while. There's several explanations for this, but it really comes down to time. My job has been working me 70 hours a week and I'm too stressed to sit down and write in my free time. On a good note, I will be leaving this job soon and starting a new one mid-June, but this new job will be very time consuming, but far more rewarding than what I do now. My hooves have been equally busy in my free time with other things. There was a relationship for a while, running the Midwest Brony Division, and now planning for Trotcon, where my buddies Steel, Shifty and I have been invited as guests. If you're coming by, I'll also be running fanfic and writing panels with my pals PavFeira, milesprower06, JasonTheHuman, and ROBcakeran53 and a panel on conventions with Darkly Cute and Purple Tinker.
On that note, there's something else I'd like to announce.
THE HEARTH'S WARMING CARE PACKAGE IS BACK AND COMING TO TROTCON
I will be running a silent auction from my space in the game room, with all proceeds going to help fellow fanfic author Late To The Party.
For more on his story please check his latest blog entry: A Tale Of Two Siblings
More details to come, but there will be some prizes that are open to bidding if you're not attending the con... many of them probably of interest to you fanfic fanatics... stay tuned!
I will be taking a few weeks off between jobs to decompress and do some writing. Gravity is in progress again, and I do apologize for the wait, but fanfic is a hobby to me, and as such, there are higher priorities in my life. I appreciate the feedback on my work so far, and hope to bring you more work in the future when my life permits me to.
I once thought I was too busy to wear shoes, until I met a man who was so busy he lost his feet, and I was like "Dude, what happened to your feet?" and he was like "Foal, I got shit to do."
That mashed-up expression worked a lot better in my head.
Still, lots of exciting stuff on the horizon! Very cool.
This sums up my feelings. You have no need to apologize or feel badly for however long it make take. fanfic is your Hobby. Which means it shouldn't be interfering with what you need to do. I love your fics, don't get me wrong. But I don't hold any delusion that you owe me anything. I feel incredibly privileged that you share what you write because it's amazing stuff.
Take as much time as you need and don't stress over not being able to update. I know I'm not going anywhere and I hope others feel the same.
