I'm not doing this because of anything anyone has said, it's just for my own peace of mind.

The biggest reason is that work just takes a lot out of me, it's a physical job where I'm on my feet all day. So when I get home I'm more inclined to just binge on games for as much as I reasonably can as a way to unwind. Even weekends just feel like a time I can just relax and not have to fret about anything. I know this is the case because when I get an extra day off my desire to write comes back a bit. Ie> the longer I stay away from work, the more likely I am to write.

Another point is that I've found myself getting too involved in the 'life with Renamon' series. I *want* to work on it, I do, but using the first person perspective turned out to have been a bit of a mistake in the long run. It's like... gotten too personal, like I'm intruding and making private moments public for both myself and someone else simultaneously. I know that doesn't make much sense but there it is, and that feeling can often block my desire to work on it.

And on a final note, when I do manage to write something it's not always continuing on something I've started... I have a lot of half-way done stories that just haven't reached completion yet because I keep bouncing back and forth rather than focusing on one and getting it done. Plus proof-reading is BORING, and I do it many times once something reaches a finished draft because I'm a perfectionist. Heck I'll likely re-read over this post here a good 4 or 5 times just to make sure everything sounds good and makes sense.

I think that's anything of interest about that topic, I appreciate everyone's patience. It may take a long time between stories, but they will keep coming, slowly but surely.
