Am I Doing Too Much?

So I am sure readers have noticed that my updating has slowed down a lot. It isn't that I don't have time but more like lack of inspiration. I was starting to think that is because I am spreading myself too thin. I have a lot of ongoing stories that I don't get myself engrossed into one story too much anymore because I have other stories I feel like I need to update too.

Do you think I should set my priorities to a certain story and focus so I can start finishing it up. Or do you think that it is nice to see updates every so often on different stories of mine while maybe your favorite gets ignored for a while?

I just want to know what you think? I have so many ideas that I feel like I am starting things that aren't finishing.

I think you should finish one story first before updating other fics. I've been there though, but sometimes if i got block with my ongoing fanfic, i'll make a new story until I new ideas and get back to the fanfic I should update. At least i made another story while i'm updating my ong. fic hahahaha

I usually always just say that you shouldn't push yourself, since... Well. Quality over quantity ^^
So yeah, take a break if you want.

I for one, am totally okay with authors going on hiatus. As long as, you're back in within a year or two.

Because by then you're probably just gone. Probably found another fandom, maybe something interesting going on irl, who knows.

So yeah. Do what you want, but just let us know of your decision :D
Like, an update on all your stories with the notice or something.

Ahm in my opinion, do what you think is much easier for you. I am willing to wait for your updates even in takes time 'coz when you post your upadates it's always worth the wait. Hehe
Just stay inspired always, I know what you are doing is not easy that's why I admire you a lot. Just look for an inspiration, and stay inspired my friend! ^_^

Hmm, honestly, just take your time. Maybe plan out your ideas first before writing it down? Since you have so many ideas in mind.

It's okay for you to write slowly, I guess? As long as the story flows and its a worth-read chapter.

For me, I only read ff when I have time, so I wouldn't really chase for a new chapter, so I'm totally fine with slow updates. JUST NOT TOO SLOW DUH ;)

Also, if you think that focus on one story can make you write better, have good ideas and able to go into the character, then do so. It's quality than quantity isn't it? I'm sure you're here to write for you and your readers to enjoy, not to think of it as your 'job' and there's a deadline to it. Afterall, this is your ff account, we'll respect what you choose to do :)

Fighting!
