Feeling the Magical Spark of Inspiration · 6:39pm Mar 4th, 2017
About time right? After a bit over half a year, I finally feel motivated to write once more.
I don't dare make any promises about what I will or will not do, as a lot has changed between when I used to write and now, even when it comes to how I coordinate events. (not to mention new job, boyfriend, DM'ing and playing D&D...)
I am taking today to look over all my notes while my boyfriend is at work all day, and thus less able to distract me, and making sure everything I had ever discussed with silver is in a good consolidated place instead of all over the place and frequently forgotten. Here's to hoping it won't take more than today.
Good.
Thanks for this post! I was worried about you, honestly.
I realized just recently that I didn't actually hit "follow" for you, so I didn't get notifications for your blog posts. I only noticed because Silver was updating without you. (And then I saw you on another site just recently, so it reminded me.)
Well, good luck with the writing! I can definitely empathize with the lack of drive to write, even when the emotional connection to the story is still there.
And even if the two stories aren't as closely connected as it was planned to be, I still will wait eagerly for new chapters. You and Silver are some of the few authors that can get HiE fics right. (The other two that I can think of are Snakeskin Ducttape and Hoopy McGee.)
4476933 Thank you. My spark so far, to give another update, was sadly short lived. I did manage to reorganize my notes and everything in my MLP fic folder, between art, chapters, silver's chapters, silver's posted lemons, silver's unposted lemons, silver's lemon snippits designed to tease myself and winter light.... .... Point is, after that had done, my inspiration was lost. I want to blame my busy schedule, but if I were brutally honest with myself, even at a point where I was jobless, but had a job lined up and just had to wait for training class to come, I did not write even with lots of spare time. I even have one of my 3 days off where I do not have anything planned ever (saturday). I am without excuse.
I hope that my spark comes back soon. I love that silver is continuing on, and I try to encourage him to do so at every time he asks. I have the feelings of dislike that I am letting myself fall behind him, yet must recognize that my habits, my lack of attempts to do something about it means I have to change in order to actually address the problem.
4478376 All right. Really, don't worry about it.
I'll still be hopeful and support you, even if you never write a word more.
(And anyway, I have plenty of days when I have a lot of free time and no excuses, yet I still procrastinate my writing.)
I may not be able to help directly, but... I'm rooting for you.
Thanks for responding.
