Questions to ponder part 12
usako:
It's not really caring for what others might think, I've made peace with myself and I know that I write and love a genre and a character that only very few people would care. lol It's more a battle with myself, I always want to write as perfect as possible and, mot of the times, I would start already thinking that I won't be good enough no matter how much I try. lol

I took a slight break while I attended college, but anybody that knows me well enough already knew that. I dabbled in other genres (NASCAR mostly because I was so involved in the sport, wanting to work for them), but BSB fan fiction was always in the back of my mind.
And when I came back to BSB fanfic, the majority of my loyal readers were still there, because many of them followed me to my NASCAR stories, even though they didn't even watch NASCAR or was interested in the sport. Which I thought was kind of awesome.

Have you ever gone on a hiatus from writing? Was it due to life getting in the way? Or just being uninspired?
How long was your writing break, and how did you get yourself the spark to write again?
I should have said "questions" but hope that this sparks a discussion. I know I could sure use some tips to bring
My muse back.

I don't think I've ever "officially" gone on hiatus because honestly, I don't think anyone really (truly) cares that much about what I do lol
That being said, if you look at the stories I've written... it took me six years to finish writing H&H, it's been three years since I last updated my other major unfinished story and most others, depending on how complicated the plot is, take me about a year to write. A lot of that reason is just life, I've gotten different hobbies as I've gotten older, less of my life is spent sitting in front of my computer and more of it is on my phone and I can't be productive in that environment.
Some people think if you aren't updating once every couple days then that stretch between updates is a "hiatus" but I don't think it is. That's just the time that I would consider to be the working time. Especially since I've started finishing my stories before I post them. So I may be writing but you guys wouldn't know it... maybe I am right now even... OOOH lol

I'm on hiatus now because during the school year I just don't have the time or energy to write. As far as getting back into it, no idea. Personally I am completely uninspired and uninterested at the moment. Hopefully that will change, we shall see.

I think if you posted a new story it would completely bring readers back to the site.
