I'm considering shutting down FireRain · 3:22am Sep 26th, 2020
I'm thinking of shutting down FireRain. I've contemplated on it, but not sure if it's a wise move or not.
I don't really post anything much here anymore, and I haven't been around as much as usual, and I feel like I've pushed all I can. Over the years and causing myself to burn out entirely, that spark inside me that drives me to write or care enough to write anything has died.
I've tried to get it back, to force myself to write a story, but only felt myself hit a roadblock in my brain, my thoughts shut down and that passion is simply gone. I have a few stories I started and have my brain shut down before hitting five-hundred words, so I think that's a safe calculation that I'm done here. There's nothing else I can do or want to do. I don't have it in me anymore.
On the rough chance this bothers anyone else, you're free to say so below, but I doubt it. I'm thinking of saving all my stories and then shutting down my account for good. Either that or simply abandoning it, I haven't decided yet. I don't see any point in sticking around any longer. I'll leave that for you to decide.
I mean, full-on deleting it all seems like a bit much, y'know what I mean?
Personally, I'd be sad to see you go.
It's all down to you mate if you feel like this is something that needs to be done than I'm sure you'll have the support from the people on this site but im sure people will be sad to see you go.
I do still enjoy your blogs.

I suppose. But this has pretty much ran its course, I think. Might save all my stories, stick them on a portable drive and abandon the account. Still leave it up but not use it. That's only for the sake of not having all those years of work for nothing, you know? Been here for so long, don't want it to go to waste. In any event, I'll think about it.

Somehow, I have a few doubts on that last part. I mean, some likely will, but some others likely won't.
Well, the decision is up to you, but whatever you choose, please DO NOT delete your account - it will only inconvenience people wanting to read your stories. And, if you ever decide to get back here, you will have to start from scratch.
Posting a blog about how you no longer monitor this account should be enough, and it wouldn't mess up anybody's shelves

Fair point. Fine, with that info in mind, I suppose I'll opt to keep it all open. I won't fully delete my account then. I don't want to come back, so I'll let it sit as it is for now until my mind changes. Peace 💛
