Finally Got Inspiration Back. · 4:32am Sep 27th, 2015
After a long, rather emotionally painful inability, given I've come to enjoy it more and more, to write I've finally gotten my passion of writing to return to the forefront of my thought process. I gotta say, I'm quite glad to have done things like watch the most recent MLP episodes, listen to music, and even find funny youtubers like Markiplier or, less known youtubers across the world, interesting and probably intelligent people like Jerry Peet, in my opinion that is. It really picked my spirits back up after they dropped, for multiple reasons.
You know I'll be honest, I feel pretty damn bad for having disappeared for, what, 5 or 6 months? I mean really, I got two unfinished stories and one of them is only a chapter long while the other is a squeal that some actually wanted to read. Then I got my first ever commission of writing a story for someone else, I haven't gotten a single word written for it yet. Again, sorry about that DarkCynder61.
However, while I'm still being honest, I think the reason why I shut down for months is because I burnt myself out. I was trying to become things I wasn't, I was trying to be good at things because I had done them for years. Yet in reality my passion for them disappeared, but I forced myself to keep doing them because I thought that passion would return and I would find joy in doing them, like playing multiplayer games.
As of this blog post I've realized that by pursuing those things, I was destroying myself emotionally and mentally. With this realization, I also realize that since I love MLP so much, that's why I can find such great passion and inspiration to write stories based off of it, if you get my meaning.
Also, I'm surprised to return to find myself at 111 followers, as I was pretty sure I would eventually return to this site to find myself at like 30 or 20 followers since I disappeared. I know there are people on this site with hundreds or even over a thousand, and youtube people with millions, but the fact that the number of followers grew instead of shrank over the past few months I was gone tells me my stories aren't as bad as I feared they'd be.
Then again it seems One Medieval Princess is the most popular of them all of my one-shots, maybe I did something right or everyone just likes Luna that much. Maybe both. Either way seeing the number makes me feel good and I'm going to work on writing again, even happy to say I've got a few paragraphs for the next chapter of A Siren's Song written down. However bad that may turn out.
Also as much as I'd like to change the picture for A Siren's Song to have both Sunset and Sonata in it, I just don't feel like I should do it simply because only I feel like it should be done.
So! If you think I should change the picture to include both Sunset and Sonata instead of just Sonata looking like she's acting like a badass bitch to someone, please let me know in the comments below of this blog or send me a message. Either one works. Also, if you think I should change the picture and have one you created, or would like to be the change, let me know. I like to hear opinions from others, especially critics that know what they're saying and know the meaning of constructive criticism.
So that's all- no wait, I should also say that I now own a computer again so no more pesky Ipad auto-correct screwing with words for me that I don't catch because there isn't a red line. Now that's all for this long, lengthy blog post.
I'm just happy you are enjoying yourself again; there is no need to apologize, and call me DashFire, it's what most people know me by and It's time I switch my username on here to it.
