Losing the love...
honey:
aww. Julie, yet another reason why you are my hero.
You see? This is why I love you guys.
It is also the reason I'm so addicted to this board, and this board is probably another factor in my ADD can't focus enough to write anything phase.
RokofAges75:
^ Omg, I swear there is a huge correlation between this board and my lack of writing LMAO. I would say take a break from the board, but I dont' want you to do that. :(
starbeamz:
^I completely agree. I love this board so much that I don't want to leave it long enough to go write lol That's not a bad thing necessarily, but it happens. Don't leave us!
Kelly! I stuck YIM on the fam's computer, so, as soon as I come up with a schedule of when my brother and I can compromise on who uses the computer when, I'm totally talking to you like crazy! I really really do want to update something (and I wrote 6 pages of Zoey the other day but haven't done any more since then :( ), and you're my muse...so maybe we can inspire each other. Or I could just give you advice on what books to read next (more Dessen!) lol
And, like Julie said, don't write because you feel obligated to update for your readers' sakes. If they love you as much as we all do, I'm sure we'll all wait patiently for as long as it takes.

I feel like I'm kinda going through the same thing as you, Sarah, Mare, etc... I dunno if I'd call it a slump, but ever since I finished BMS, I have felt kind of lost, like I don't know where to go next. I have two ideas for novels that I like, but for whatever reason, I can't get going on them. I have a novella that I started a couple years ago, and I can't get much done on that either.
I have two Broken-related projects in the work, and those are what I have been working on lately, and I'm enjoying them, but at the same time, I feel guilty working on them because I feel like I should break away and write something brand new. And I'm not sure why I feel that way. My readers, at least over on my forum, say they'll read anything by me, but the Broken-related stuff is met with the most interest. My one attempt to write something completely different only got one review on AC. So it's not like the majority of my readers are pushing me to go in a different direction and I'm the one resisting. I think it's just pressure I'm putting on myself. So now that it's summer and I have all kinds of free time to write, I told myself to just write whatever the hell I want, whether it's Broken stuff or something different, and I feel like I'm getting back into the habit of writing or at least attempting to write every day. And hopefully, once I get the Broken projects out of my system, I will be more inspired to get into one of my other ideas.

Julie! I'm totally still waiting on that Brian story *taps foot* lol Just kidding! Although, you know, I wouldn't mind it...but you gotta do what you gotta do. And that's what I tell myself everyday. In fact, I woke up this morning and told myself that I had to write 2 pages today and finish this unfinished chapter for one of my OF stories...and I'm sitting here instead lol Sometimes, real life just gets in the way...I know we can all write and get back into it...so I'm planning on just patiently waiting for our collective muses to kick in.
