    An apology

    Inspiration's a flash.
    You're hit, you commit, and you write it.
    But then what next?

    So now you've got some fans.
    The watchers, the judges, those waiting.
    A flash is brief.

    So you struggle and plot.
    Hope your one hit can carry the album.
    It begins, the doubt.

    Find a way to stall time.
    Excuses, delays, and side projects.
    They're beginning to circle.

    And then it's too much.

    Whelp. That was... longer than I wished it to be...

    So... Yeah.

    Sorry I vanished like that, I'm sure... that wasn't exactly the best of stories to write before going dark for a while. Hope I didn't leave anyone too worried about me. I was going through a pretty rough and busy patch of my life for a while there, struggling with some things, and it had a dramatic effect on my ability to just... sit down and write.

    Wow, life gets busy fast, don't it?

    Just thought I'd say hi and let everyone know what's been going on on my end. As I'm sure has been noted, my update rate has dropped like mad due to a mixture of work, romance, important internet spaceship business, and other such nonsense. I'm doing what I can to get back in the grove of writing regularly, but a bit of my usual creative spark is lacking recently due to expending a lot of it on

    Still alive, I promise

    For those of you not watching my side stories and seeing the occasional updates come out, I just wanted to let everyone know I'm still writing. I got kinda sidetracked with employment, relationships, and catching Zika for a bit there, but I'm still around. Just gotta get back in a schedule of writing again and throw out more content. Also there's the audio-drama I've been helping out with, but

Nothing you write is sufficient.
And the flash is long gone.

Looking back with regret,

was there ever a point?

was there ever a point?

I'd imagine so.

was there ever a point?

Yes because you're stories make people smile.:twilightsmile:

Better to have loved then lost, than to never have loved at all.

You might never write another chapter of Photo Dash, but this site and the people who have read it are better for its existence.
That, and it is about 58 000 words more than I've written, so there is accomplishment there even in an unfinished story.

I'd still like to see more (which is why I recently moved it between shelves rather than remove it entirely) but I don't even want an unpaid author to think they are obligated to write more.

Apology accepted. I'm sorry about your lost inspiration, but I do think that there was a point; it still strikes me as an interesting concept, and whether or not it's lasting no longer, I enjoyed it while it did. :)

I've been there. My first story, on FF.net that this, received more attention than I ever imagined it would. But after two years I just stopped caring and I quit. You did the right thing by writing this apology. It shows you have class.

Good job. :)

I was really hoping we would at least get to the big reveal where Spitfire finds out the truth, but if you cant go on then I guess Ill have to respect that. I still really hope you continue this at some point, but if you don't I think most of us will understand.
Thank you for telling us the truth at least.

Yes there wws a point. The point was to bring happiness into a world full of darkness. Now write some more, goddammit!

I would be happy to help you with the story if you would like. It's such a wonderful piece I really would like to see more of it.

Just wanted to add my love for this story. The reread was still a great time!
