Hunters, my life and the future · 3:25am Jul 11th, 2018
So, as many of you have no doubt noticed, I haven't been very active on here much. There are a few reasons for that, but the main one is life is getting chaotic. I'm looking for a new place to live, which, due to my income, is proving to be very difficult. I'm currently staying with family, but their home really isn't equipped to house more than four people. Plus, I'm transiting to a new therapist which means, for the time, I won't be going to my current one.
I have also removed Hunters and Hunters: Another and the reason for that is... not simple.
After talking with some friends, a lot of self-realization and losing a friend due to my actions, I decided to cancel the story.
For the record; I didn't cancel Hunters because I thought it was bad. I canceled it because it had a negative effect on my physical and mental health. I was obsessed with the story to the point where I'd forget to eat or sleep just so I could work on it. I still think that, with the right amount of effort, it can be a great story... But, it's not one I can tell right now.
I also decided to take a break from long fics and focus on a few one-shots for a bit and to fully plan this new long fic out 100%.
Plus, having smaller fics under my belt could not only help me improve as a writer but improve my visibility and presence.
Right now, I'm working on three one-shots and am nearly done with one of them. For those care, it's two romance stories and an action/comedy one. There's no set date for any of them, but I'd like to at least finish them before the end of summer.
Which brings me to the future; After I get done with all three, I'm probably gonna write a few more and maybe start talking about a new long fic that uses elements from Hunters.
I'm not sure what this new story will be other than a long fic and it reintegrates ideas I had for Hunters that never came to pass.
I'll try to keep you all updated on what's going on. Either here or somewhere else(DeviantART and Twitter are your best bets. I'm more active on both of those sites.)
That's about it, more or less. I want to make sure I don't fall into the same hole I fell into with Hunters; blindly obsessive and hurting myself and my loved ones for a story.
Do what you gotta do for you, man. No shame in that.
