An Update · 11:23pm Mar 25th, 2015
Wow, been a full month since my last blog post. Time sure flies. Anyways, I'm high on creativity at the moment, but a bit low on drive and will, seeing as I spent about an hour last night looking up symptoms of autism. Yeah, I definitely have it in some sense, seeing as the range of autism is a lot like the range of energy: we can only see a little bit of it, but it's there, in many, many forms. I mean, I was diagnosed years ago with ADHD, but now I'm questioning whether or not the diagnosis was fully completed. Then again, I'm likely also stressed in some way, but haven't come to terms with it all that much.
I've done work on some things since the last time you guys heard from me, so I just thought I'd let you know that I've not stopped writing. It's just hard to pick it up, be it a day or a week since I actually wrote. So, in short, all stories deemed one-shot by myself are one-shots, and done stories are done: I have no interest in pursuing sequels, be they to A Sweet Dream, Solar Embrace, A Thief in the Night, Ten Years Gone, The Pianist and the Cellist, and many others.
Hell, I haven't touched White Squall, one of my very first stories, in well over a year and a half-ish, and I would eventually like to get back to that someday soon, before I just give up on it entirely, like I almost did with Solar Embrace and seemingly did with A Dragon's Journey for a while. I mean, I have literally everything for the story planned out; it's just sitting there in my laptop, judging me, waiting for me to come back like some addict or something.
As it is, I'm spending as much of my writing time as I can on A Dragon's Journey, as well as two other, as-of-yet unknown projects: unknown to you fans, anyway. One is a rather different take on Equestria altogether, and the other is my take on Human in Equestria. Be assured, both will likely be not only enormous undertakings (and thus unlikely to be published for a long time), but the latter will be extremely detailed, and likely will be one of the finest things I have ever put to paper (so to speak), if I can write it all out.
That being said, I have this strange urge to ask people about how they are doing with their own stories, and if they can offer me an advice, or helpful tips, or even just a pat on the back. Then again, I always like questions, and would love to answer them in kind, be they on myself, the stories, or just whatever.

Well, I just made my first 1k like milestone! I may or may not have shed some liquid pride when it happened. It's a good story, if i do say so myself.
But enough about me. Let's talk you.
I understand it can be hard to write after a while. I've dropped stories for a time and it was hard starting them again. If anything, just write. Write up a quota per day or week. Sometimes you have to force yourself back into the groove.
I really wish you would make some of those sequels, but if you don't want to, then that's your decision.
