In which I probably disappoint a whole lot of you · 7:14am Jun 8th, 2015
I tried, guys.
I really did. I tried so hard.
Today, I sat down to write the next chapter of I Will Hunt You Down.
I sat down, and I stared, at a blank page, for about an hour and a half.
I thought about what I wanted to write, I thought about how to do it, and then I finally realized something.
I didn't want to.
I cannot physically drum up the desire to write this right now. I tried, I really, really did, but it's not there.
Every time I think about trying to update this fic right now, I mentally groan.
So, instead of forcing myself to write and subjecting you guys to sub-par narrative and a shitty hastily-written fic, I'm going to try something else.
First thing's first, I Will Hunt You Down is going on hiatus. I really should have done this sooner, given that it hasn't been updated in six months, but that's what's going to happen. I'm sorry that I'm going to have to break my word and not update in June, but it's not happening.
I need to explore, I have things I want to write, and every time I think about writing them, my thoughts wander back to this fic.
I can't be held back by something that I don't have a desire to write.
That's not saying it's never going to be updated again, but I really need to stretch my creative muscles, and write what I want to write rather than what I'm forced to write.
I'm going to come back to this fic when I feel like I can write it properly.
I'm really sorry guys, I hope you understand.
THE WRITER'S BLOCK! I'm suffering something similar currently, which is quite unfair considering it's for ALL fics right now.
It's not just for one thing either, everything. Nothing I think of I want to put to text. And it hurts.
So I'm just going to wallow in my games for now, hopefully I'll get that ridiculous surge of inspiration that let me release a chapter every two days when I first started Hello Stranger.
No problem dude, write what you wanna write, do what you wanna do, come back to this if you ever feel like it, but never, ever, ever feel like you owe us anything. This is your hobby and if a hobby isn't fun then it's just a chore, it's not even a job, cause we don't pay you shit.
as Zephyrion said you dont own us anything it was your hobby in wich we indulged so good luck with wathever you decide to do.
Just let us know if you decide to cancel it.
Just take a break form it and focus elsewhere, it'll come when its time comes
Go for it. Find your genius, and enjoy your writings.
It'll happen when it happens.
No worrys m8, take your time. I feel the same way when writing my fics.

well at least you have the decency to let readers know.
At least you are kind enough to tell us why there i no update not like other authros that just dissapear and give a shit about us the readers, so it was six months so what I can wait other one or more
Take your time. Trying to force your writing will be seen in the stories, and the quality will be different enough for folks to notice.
That's perfectly fine. So long as you are not killing the story, I really don't care how long an update takes. I mean, if one gets pressured into writing, the quality of the story drops, and I would rather have a good story that a long one.
Just gonna pop in a couple months later, ask how you're doing, what the news is. So on and so on.
