Progress

Two years. Two years since I signed up for this site thanks to a xbox friend that probably doesn't come here anymore. I want to say that I've made alot of progress from Of Skalds and Gems and so forth, not just in my purely amature writing skill, but in how I feel about writing in general. The shit I post isn't just some unedited, barely thought out crap I put out because I was bored anymore. In my mind, its something that expresses my imagination in for others to interpret. At some point, at least one or two people who Favorited my eariler stories must have asked, "Why did he cancel it? It was pretty interesting and pretty well received." Well, truth is that Skalds, The Bug and the Bull, and Sanguinem all were spur of the moment, no thought stories to me. Sure, I had alot of plot stuff planned, but the reality is that when I sat down to work on those stories, I couldn't stand continuing them. Nothing had as much thought put into it as I was, am still doing with Smokeless. Not only that, but to come clean, I'm not in the fandom anymore. I don't care about mlp or the show or anything like that. I just can't keep my mind focused on the pony aspect without getting dreadfully bored. As far as my mind is concerned, The Chessgame universe is just something I use to keep myself grounded here and is a jump off point for my own universe. As I've mentioned before, if I had any other medium to edit and repost this story and work on it as I'm able, I would do that. But thats where I am right now. I personally don't think its a bad thing, its just how I'm thinking. Anyway, thats just on my mind atm. In any case, its progress. Smokeless isn't just a fanfic to me anymore, its something to let flex my writing more as a skill, no matter how bad it is. Just something thats been on my mind for a while.
