A thing that I swore I would never do · 2:41pm Mar 14th, 2022
A long time ago, before I ever wrote anything, I swore to myself that I would never post any stories to the internet that weren't already complete, or, failing that, would make sure to always complete what I started and not leave any perpetually unfinished stories. When I finally started posting things here, I tried to stick to that promise.
So... yeah, Unraveling the Unwritten is going on hiatus. Checks out.
UtU (and ever day I regret not going with the prototype name 'Unraveling what's Unwritten so that I could shorten it to UwU) was always an experiment. The first chapter was loosely based on a dream I had I wanted to make something of, and I've always worked better when I've had detailed prompts to spark ideas, so I thought that doing something comment inspired could be fun. And it was! I actually kept things going a lot longer than I had feared I might, regardless of my normal anxiety where I assumed everyone would hate it.
But... well, every author on this site should understand what a lack of motivation can do. I do have plans for where to take UtU next, along with a bunch of other cool ideas (People who wanted more of that Roleswap AU I did, pay attention) that I just... can't find the energy to write. I have things I am working on, but, for various reasons, none of it can really be posted here, or to any fanfiction site, and it's mostly just a passion thing that for some reason is the only thing I can ever think of working on.
There's probably a larger issue underlying everything, related to the depression and the anxiety and the dysphoria and maybe some other undiagnosed things, but I'm not going to get too deep into that. I just wanted to make an update that yes, UtU is going on hiatus. Hopefully, it will come back. It might not. I might write other things and post them here before or after coming back to UtU. I might not. It all comes down to how I feel in the future.
I'm really sorry to the small amount of people who actually seemed to care about UtU. I appreciated all the comments, even if I was a nervous wreck reading them every single time. Hopefully, I can come back to it in the future, or write something better in the future, or... I dunno. I don't know how to end blog posts. Sorry.
I absolutely understand this predicament. Here's hoping you get to a better, more inspired place soon.
I completely understand. Take as long as you like to finish it; I certainly can't complain about long gaps between chapters, lol.
May your creativity, inspiration, and drive return to you soon.
