Code Geass: Paladins of Voltron

by Naruwitch

One day on a hiking trip, the student council from Ashford Academy discover a cave filled with lion and catlike drawings. Within the cave they discover a huge robotic lion that is one of seven pieces to a giant robot named Voltron: the Defender of the Universe. Will Voltron be enough to free Japan? (I own nothing.)

47. Life Update

Hi Guys.

So... it's been a hot minute, hasn't it? Sorry for being radio silent for a while, and I don't want to give excuses, but the lack of updates and activity in general is mainly because I fell into a bit of a writing slump (again), got distracted with other anime and fandoms, and am still stressed from my current job (enjoy college and your teen years while you can, guys. Adulting can suck!)

Now, I never ran out of ideas FOR stories. I have several ideas and plot bunnies burrowed and stored either in my brain or on a drive that I'd love to get to one day, if possible. But finding the energy to type something up is another issue. On days when I had time and WANTED to write, for some reason... I couldn't. No motivation whatsoever. There have been times in the past when I struggled to write certain scenes but never to this scale before, even with an outline in front of me. It was kind of scary to be honest since I never felt it this severely before.

For a while, I couldn't figure out why I was struggling so much to try and write a new chapter or begin a new story.

But I think I've finally figured out why. At least for my Code Geass Paladins of Voltron story.

I've noticed that in the last couple of chapters since my latest update months ago, my writing was kind of suffering, and many of you pointed it out in the reviews too. Reading back over them, they just felt... boring. Lifeless even.

So this is my decision. I'm going to rewrite and polish the last few chapters to try and make them better. I'll also be revising and editing my entire fic. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything super plot-altering (most of the Season 1 of Voltron will remain the same as well as most of the first part of Season 2), but my writing has been evolving thanks to my job (I'm a content writer/editor and a copywriter for an advertising company in case anyone was curious) and I want my work, even if it's just fanfiction, to reflect that. This should also help me get refreshed with the story itself so that by the time I'm done, I'm ready to hit the ground running with new chapters.

I deeply apologize for everyone eagerly awaiting a new chapter, but for the sake of my writing motivation and possibly my own mental health, I need to do this.

Warm regards,

Naruwitch
