Explanations and yes

I live!  I know it's amazing right?  It's been what?  Five months or something since I declared hiatus and I said I'd be back all soon like and yeah that didn't happen.  Then I said I would keep writing and yeah that didn't really happen either.  And honestly I really do feel bad about that and I wish I could give a decent reason for it.  Yeah college has been difficult but I still had plenty of time to sit down and write but I almost didn't want to.  Well, that's a lie I wanted to but I didn't have the motivation to do so.  Truth be told I've been going through a bit of a change really.  I keep looking back at my old stuff because I'm a glutton for punishment and I kinda want to delete it all.  Not that I will because I also like the memories I've made by making those stories.  All the joy from comments and making friends through them.  But really I just haven't felt like I should come back because I haven't been writing and I feel like I haven't improved either.  It's stupid really I know I don't write terribly but I'm just not as confident as I once was. 

This is not to say I'll never pick up a pen--or really type again, I should say.  I think what I really need is a fresh start.  That makes no sense does it?  Alright, here's the deal.  I've been so focused on writing what people want that I've forgotten to write for myself.  And really, to me, that's what writing is about and if someone happens to like what I post along the way then I'm happy.  What I want is to improve and to enjoy the experience of building a world for readers, and myself, to delve in to.  So I've traveling back to my I Always Keep My Promises days where I wrote for myself though ugh that story needs so much revision and that's coming with a few things. 

  1. The sequel banghim story is not being posted till further notice.  Trust me that's in your best interest because what I've written so far is god awful
  2. I'm still on hiatus however I will be around more and reconnecting with old friends as I should have a long time ago.
  3. My life pretty much revolves around Block B, MBLAQ and Infinite at the moment so my Exo story in the works I talked about may very well be put on hold as well.
  4. I have a new appericiation for Boyfriend because of Janus...someone direct me to a Donghyun story stat okay?
  5. Are you still reading this?  You should because I love you and you're wonderful.
  6. Smile baby doll it looks good on you.

Okay I'm done now.  Best wishes everyone and I hope that 2013 brings great inspiration, writing and love of all sorts to you all.

I feel the same way about working on edits I do as a request. I really enjoy doing that, but sometimes when you edit pictures only for other people it feels like you lost the actual reason why you started it in the first place. You did it for yourself and just wanted to share with others in case they liked it as well.
Just take your time, do what you want and enjoy it! Don't think too much about the others ;)
Happy new year to you as well!!
PS: your end note about smiling made me smile :) thanks!

Ugh, I know exactly how you feel with the whole 'I have the time and the desire to write but not the motivation' thing because I've been going through it a lot myself recently ;n; I keep using college as an excuse when in fact it has nothing to do with it at all.

All the best in 2013 to you as well! Hopefully you (and me both) will get out of that writing slump soon!
