Writer's Block Syndrome
11 years ago
Okay, so yeah... Figured I might as well post here as well. See if anyone does bother to look at my posts. And if not, welp. Guess that's that.
So I've hit a bit of a large bump. At least some of my watchers should know by now that I've been writing a series called The Legacy of Sylver, and that it is... rather a long series of numerous stories. For those who DON'T know, they can find it on its main site at http://thelegacyofsylver.webs.com/
Now, the bump I've ran into, is the fact that it's been taking me months, to upwards of a year each to post new chapters to my stories. Those who've known about Darkness of Dimension would know that it's been somewhere around two or even three years since I posted a chapter there. Mainly due to lack of roleplays with my friend, but that also comes from us both being blocked in that area. It's also been taking me closer to three months to post chapters in the rewritten version of The Messanger of Time in the various sites that I've had it on since I started it. I get the feeling that a big reason for this, is the fact that I don't have an audience. I've noticed that my chapters have been getting less and less views with each one posted over the years since I started the series, and I've lost practically all the main readers I had when I first began writing, and really, it's quite set me back. I've grown less motivated to write now, and this is probably the main thing that's causing it.
If anyone does still read my stories, and if anyone is reading this journal now, I'd like to ask. What is YOUR opinion on the series? What is it lacking? And if you don't believe it lacks anything, what other reasons could there be? Is it the general community being less inclined to reading fanfiction? Is the specific story not in your interests? The genre, the style. What do you think?
I'd just like to come to a conclusion to these problems. Why people have lost interest and why I can't seem to bring myself to keep doing it. So for those who do read this, what do you say?

I hope you're able to find a way out of that rut, though. I've been there too many times and it's not a fun position at all. Just try to stick with it, ideas will come to you eventually.
