Almost definitely. I wrote Lay the Dragon a few years back. It was... Terrible. Bad pacing, bad dialog, bad... well, everything. I wrote a few other stories, learned my style, wrote DragonBound (book 2), then rewrote Lay the Dragon, and it came out much better.

if I have one push back, that's when I get harsher. Most just accept that I'm not falling for the scam, and I get a little engagement, so bonus.

I always reply, "I welcome all fanart, but I will not be paying to have fans make art of it. I appreciate the interest, however." They're scammers, but engagement does help, regardless, so...

I'm not on indefinite hiatus. I'm actually planning a return. I just needed to step back. The story I had been working on got... Started hitting a bit too hard for me, so I had to step back, clear my head. The holidays, life stress, crap. But yes, any stories I put on hiatus, I'm open to...

I used to write all the time up until I dropped out of high school. Then real life took all my time. The girl I was dating at the time... Her mother was obsessed with Twilight, so I was forced to watch all the movies. That's what resparked my desire to write. I've taken a few extended breaks...

That's fantastic to hear! Your confidence in my ability is touching! :blob_hug:

not retiring. Just taking a break. I'll be back eventually with all new sexy scenes. I'll likely still do the occasional one shot until I come back in full swing eventually.

Hey! I feel called out! ... Kidding. Mine took a human form just to blend in, but often changed their appearance - male/female switches (I write smut, primarily, and this opens the option to have either gender lover, for most readers). They also kept adding new features from anyone that was...

I'm up for critique, if you wanted to send me a message. But having readers wasn't the primary reason I took a step back and reevaluated. I just realized I wasn't happy writing anymore. I used to have a passion, a fire for writing that I honestly miss. And starting my current work has helped...

lol I might eventually. But I'm going to take a step back and get back to my roots. Write a clean story (at least, 99% clean. Might have around 1% light eroticism. focus more on the couple and less on the acts or bodies).

Well folks, It's official. I'm burnt out. Not on writing. I took a week away while my mom was visiting, and that reminded me of something. I used to love writing. I enjoyed watching pages fill with words. But now? Now, I almost dread it. It's a hassle to sit and hammer out a handful of pages...

I always prefer plot driven, but the characters must be interesting, independent of the plot.

dumber dumb people, smarter smart people. A much wider gap between the haves and have-nots of intellect.

I used to be more active, but these days I pretty much spend my time writing, gaming, or learning useless new skills or hobbies. In the past, I've learned to flick pennies, throw cards, and a little sleight of hand. Currently, I'm learning python so I can work on a VN.

so... like WaterWorld (Ft. Kevin Costner) meets Mortal Engines?
