Still at work writing!
4 years ago
I know I slowed down quite a bit with writing, but there's two three reasons for this:
One is just the season. I get busy with work at this time of year and it exhausts a lot of my energy I could sink into writing. I'm spending more time with things which just... relax me... than writing new things. I still have ideas but having the mental focus and energy to just get to it has proven much more rare. And when I do, it's in such a rough shape it requires a lot more time to go through an edit pass. I have some things waiting for me to finish a good strong edit instead of just getting put up as roughs. I also tended to have more stuff in progress which just needed polish before I could put it out.
The second issue is a little different, but also exhausting on a different case.
I've put a lot of energy into 'Evalia's Tale' and it is drawing to a close shortly. Not that there's nothing more to write about the shadowvixen - there's always more. But it's almost finished to a point where it can be termed "completed". After which there's just a smoothing pass to iron out wrinkles before I intend to not go back and work on it again. And while there's a few candidates for 'further adventures', I'd like to wrap what there is before I dive into them. But I've also not got something immediately to take its place once I finish. Nothing which I could really be pouring my energy completely into quite so deep.
Which is the third reason... I got "not furry" writing I want to get back to. And because it's not furry, it'll not get posted here, and I won't actually advertise what it is. (Some of you will know what it is. Some who tripped across me via looking me up after seeing me from those other places? You already know what it is.) It's entirely not fair to avoid mentioning it, even if I was going to, because it's meaning I won't get as much writing done to post here.
So, TL;DR? If you're seeing a slowdown, it's not because anything went wrong. It's because I no longer have things which are going to be quick to work on and get out onto here.
