Hello,
I am off hiatus.
But this is not all good news. While I am writing again, this does not mean that my output speed is any good at all. I am still juggling assignments and revision, but now that there are less deadlines and more studying to do, I actually have the freedom to choose to take a break and write. Things have been rough since the last time I posted an announcement like this and I don't know if it will get better, but I'm going to continue trying.
Anyway, my finals are finishing in end November so until then, I don't foresee much promise of any long-term spikes in writing activity.
Lack of inspiration is also very likely to contribute to slow writing. Honestly speaking, I have largely stepped off the TRC ship to sail off in exploration of new horizons. However, I must add that luckily I have only shifted interests WITHIN the larger CLAMP fandom rather than flying off to become an avid Homestuck, a Sherlock fanatic, or even a hardcore gamer determined to finish Devil Survivor 2 before watching the new anime. Therefore, it's still relatively easy to write for TRC. Not to mention that while TRC is no longer my #1 Obsession, writing TRC is still like returning to my childhood home after a harrying stay in Tokyo. It's not like writing CCS (which was my #1 Obsession before TRC), where I can't even begin to care for characters I'm writing anymore. I still love TRC and can easily slip back into my rabid fangirl mode, it's just not my DEFAULT mode of operation anymore. That would be X1999.
That aside, I've been trying to find some place off FFnet where I can post some WIP snippets to keep you guys updated. Having these selective bits posted somewhere also gives me the dubiously false impression that I'm actually making progress and spurs me to continue writing. So far, I've started posting snippets in my scrapbook on deviantArt, where you can find me by the name of pseudo-brush, but I'm actually trying to bring my livejournal back up to date so I can start posting there instead. Because I actually prefer my dA to be more for my art than for my writing. My livejournal user is also pseudo-quill, same as here, but it's still very very behind. As in last year behind.
On the topic of livejournal, I really hate the new (not so new anymore) collapsible cuts. But I'm willing to let it go for now and continue posting there in desperation for a place to provide you guys with semi-regular updates. I might even eventually create a dreamwidth, however for the foreseeable future I will mostly be posting on dA or livejournal unless I have a complete chapter to offer you here on FFnet.
To round this off:
1) I am off hiatus,
2) No, that does not mean there will be regular updates,
3) My shift of interest will not affect TRC writings, and
4) You can try watching for updates on my dA or livejournal.
Cheers to future successes in any writing endeavors.
UPDATE 06AUG13: Sometimes I really surprise myself, but I took a couple hours and my livejournal is now officially up to date including recent fic fragments. You can find me at pseudo-quill. livejournal. com.
