Do you ever feel like just packing it all in?

Awww Mel! *huggles* I will say this, I noticed a reader drop when G&G came around, but to be honest, you gotta write for you. if it's not fun, don't force it. Write the story YOU want to tell, not the one readers want out of you. I got a slump with G&G for awhile, which is why I started Rehab. Sometimes a new story or a new project can help renew your writing love. I know that now I'm delving back to G&G, partly cause JAD is featured, and partly cause the time away helped me refresh it up a bit.

I hope that ramble there helps. :)

I've noticed readers disappearing - don't matter what site I'm on - this one or fanfiction.net . And lately, on here, I'm posting & updating stories that are already finished & posted elsewhere or are just plain old finished & need to be posted. I sorta stopped working on the news one I had going, & some of the ones that need updating aren't finished yet & prolly won't be for a long while. I think for me, personally, it's partly because I got really excited about two of my stories, & then reviewers fell through - nobody was really reading them, or they were, but the last few times I've updated no one's reviewed. I mean, you don't wanna complain about people reviewing 'cause people do get busy & have lives, but when not even one person reviews the last like three or so chapters, it does get kinda frustrating & not so fun anymore.

The same thing happens to me; the last two times I've updated PBox, I haven't had any reactions to it. :( The chapter before the most recent one got reviews a few weeks after I updated, but the newest update has nothing at all.... So I worry about whether the story is good or not. :(

Well I have to say I've totally been there. Quite often as well. I'll get huge inspiration streaks and then nothing for a while and I'll get completely frustrated and be like "UGH!" and then when I can't talk to my fic friends online or otherwise I tend to get even worse. What's even worse is when you don't get much of a response to one of your chapters. I've had that and sometimes it's really all in WHEN you post your chapter. And it's different for every writer. Like for mine, if I post on a weekday by 10am or so by that night I'll have a pretty good response. But like the weekend...pfft lucky to get like 1 or 2 reviews. Another thing that can easily get ya down is the personal stuff going on in your life. Like you've told me hon you're going through a lot and you just need time to adjust is all. You'll make it through it.

I must be a freak because I never want to check my reviews. I have to make an honest to god effort to go and reply to them to make people feel like I read them when I don't really want to. I've had a whole story that only had two or three reviews out of 21 chapters but it didn't really bug me... like I said.. a freak
