For any reader who may care:
I know that you're probably looking for a chapter out of me, whether it be for this story or my other one. I'm sad to say that there isn't one... and there probably won't be for a long time. If you care about listening to me long winded-excuse, I'd actually be grateful.
It started off as a simple lack of keyboard. Mine stopped working and my dad gave me his spare... "The virtually indestructable keyboard." It offers no wrist support and hurts my hands. That was why I stopped in the first place. But I need to admit that over the months, I've been changing. My motives have switched from writer to student. I didn't do as well as I wanted to. I need a very good GPA to get into the college I want to. As soon as the new year starts, I'm going to focus on nothing but school. Other priorites that come after that: friends, DDR, art, and other obligations. I've become a lot better at DDR--and it's all thanks to the practice I have got in... time that used to be spent writing. Fanfiction won't get me anywhere in the world, but DDR tournaments and things like open practice that I went to today... I feel like I've truly accomplished something. My MAIN focus is training, getting in at least an hour a day. I'm going to be going to my first tournament, hopefully on next Tuesday, the twenty-fifth. I used to take pride in seeing reviews, but I have to admit, the thing that partially made me stop writing was the downwards slump in the quality of writing here. While there's still wonderful writiers here, the archives a plagued with bad OC stories, cliche plots, and some yaoi that makes me want to retch. There is NOBODY who is willing to give most yaoi authors the motivation to go on. At least with DDR I can meet new people and have fun. Fanfiction, for me, was always time consuming. I could have been doing something with my friends.
Another contribution... the question of my sexuality. I've been dealing with a huge crush on someone that's changed my outlook on life, and love as I know it. I'm happiest when I'm around her, and sadly enough, I can't unless I abandon my computer for it. I still roleplay, but not write. I'm so happy around her, the happiest I've been in years. For some reason, I just feel worse sitting here alone on the computer.
I'm not saying this is the end. I will still make an effort to post here, and to hopefully finish this story one day. I may come back here years later, when I've graduated college and find that I have a blast doing this. Not now... though. If you wish to find me, and discus anything, feel free. I have various contacts. If you wish to do a continuation on my story, feel free. Just be sure you let me know and give me proper credit.
