Writing - Definite hiatus.
Hello, friends.
It is with sad regret that I am going on definitive hiatus, which is probably what you already suspected with my lack absence over the last 7+ years. I thought it was finally time to say it, properly. Over the years, I have changed, not completely, my love of m/m hasn't changed but I have grew up. Change is not necessarily a bad thing but it’s saddening when you no longer find that enjoyment and passion in the things you once loved. ; I am in my 30s afterall. I was just a teenager when I started this account, it holds a lot memories. It's sad to see my stories be kept hidden so I've made my journal public.
I will still be active on Livejournal itself, though it may be months, even years, to accept requests. This parting is quite bittersweet.
My view on things I never gave a second thought to have changed. I do not find enjoyment in writing anymore, more specifically, fanfiction. I’ve tried for years to find that passion for writing again, but the more I force it, the harder it is to sit and write, it doesn’t help that my interests have changed so I have nothing to tickle my imagination. I still love the same bands, the same TV shows but my opinions and views on topics are no longer the same.
I find fanfiction even more difficult to read and write.I find myself taking into consideration the thoughts and feelings of those people I am choosing to make a story out of and I do not wish to participate anymore. Which I find odd since I do love shipping of characters and actors, though I do it in a way of celebrating their friendships/bond.
Fanfiction (and even shipping) is mostly harmless, it’s a way for writers/fans to express themselves about people they admire and love, it’s also a great way to experiment with writing styles and what works for you, with a subject, which in the case of fanfiction is often TV characters or band members, which interests you, and that’s brilliant. I’m all for writers or people wanting to try their hand at writing, improving in a way that helps them because as a reader there’s nothing I love more than a well written book with a structured plot. But there is always a darkside to both worlds.
For those wondering, about the final part of A speed date of colliding hearts, sadly I believe it will be left unfinished. Instead, why don't you finish the story for me? We all have our stories and endings. Imagine how the story will end and that's what the ending will be.
I hope someday I will write again.
It’s a little piece of me this journal, I’m proud of the stories I’ve written, and grateful for the friends I’ve made. Thank you, to everyone who has friended me, those who commented, those who have read my stories, and thank you to the lurkers who read my stories in the darkness of the night. Thank you, to all those who helped BETA my stories, and those who notified me when they spotted my mistakes or helped me with an idea. Last but not least, thank you to the communities who gave me a place to be myself.
