Will be deleting a story or two. And I'm sorry.

Hi guys, long time no see.

I haven't updated for almost a year now, and I'm really sorry for that. I know I haven't been a good writer, and I don't have an excuse for that. I'm also really sorry for those who have been anticipating my stories. I went into a hiatus due to my being back to college (my second course) and life in general. All of my energy and time and everything else was focused on school and tumblr that I almost abandoned this. Also, although my status says that I'm online, I'm actually not. It's just that I'm logged in using my phone, and like other sites, I don't log out.

To be honest, I've lost my motivation to write. It's like all of my creative juices have been out of my brain. The only fanwork I've done is exo fanart, but even that is rare.

I want to start writing again. I want to pick up my pen and fic notebook and scribble and stuff. I want to share the stories going on in my head again.

But I just don't know anymore.

And now I'm contemplating on deleting some of the stories I posted that aren't going anywhere. ideka

Just some suggestions and things that I've tried whenever I lose inspiration: free-write. Whatever is in your head that resembles a story, just write it out without being concerned about writing style or grammar and stuff. That way you can empty your mind to receive other story ideas.

Watching movies and reading books and listening to music also helps get creative juices flowing.

Why am I just seeing this now? .__. stupid AFF.

Anyways, honey, I'm sorry that you feel drained and can't find stimulation. If you want someone to bounce ideas with, you have my email address. Getting stuck in a rut with this writing stuff is totally normal. I get slumps all the time, too. Really, the best thing to do is not to force yourself and let inspiration come on its own. I know its hard to balance writing with college stuff. But you can always keep yourself in writing mode by just keeping yourself open to various experiences.

It's okay for you to delete a story or two. Sometimes you do need to clear your deck in order to start anew. Just get into the habit of not taking on more projects than you can handle. It's okay to start out small, and its okay to wait.

FIGHTING!
