Out of 1.61k stories, mine is currently ranked #1 in the Elder Scrolls tag. That’s insane! Thank you to those who are genuinely interested in the original ideas I have to offer, you know who you are. Writing this book is so much fun and knowing that I’m writing for even one person to see is enough motivation to keep me going. Thank you again, and I’ll see you in the next chapter!

I understand that people expect RDR content, and I do genuinely think I can get back into it. But if that’s gonna happen, I need to get my spark to write back. That spark will only come back if I feel excited to write and I can be freely creative. So for now, I will be continuing the Elder Scrolls book because I enjoy writing it. My only hope is that you’ll consider giving what I have to offer from my own creative freedom a chance and enjoy reading it.

@herbalmite97 Felt this. Burnout sucks.

@Frank_Diazz22 many of them were my attempts to be creative. Ultimately, they never did as well as the books that followed stories everyone knew and loved. I understand now that the reason I was writing those stories was because I thought it would get some attention and I’d attract more audiences, but that’s not why I want to write; I want to write because I enjoy writing, not because I can gain something from it. The one I’m choosing to work on now isn’t about how much attention it will get, it’s about how much joy I feel in writing it. My hope is that I can spread that joy to the people who DO feel interested in reading it, because that’s ultimately what telling stories should be about.

@herbalmite97 if it's okay to ask, what about the other stories that never got finished?

The first chapter of my new book is out. If you like Skyrim, then I’m sure you’d enjoy reading this chapter.

@MichaelTheHeavy I know the mod you’re talking about, Rigmor of Cyrodiil. I’ve played this mod, but the answer to your question is no, this is an original idea.

@herbalmite97 also oblivion got remastered. I’ve heard great things about the original and people were really excited when the remastered version was released so I’ll check it out.

@herbalmite97 Skyrim is my first elder scrolls game and I loved it very much. Also this reminds me of a video of the Dragonborn becoming the emperor of Cyrodill which is a mod. Is this what this story will be based out of?

So this is like my 4th time revealing I might be coming back, but I’m hoping this time is different. I’ve been thinking about coming back for a while and there’s a big reason why I never really did. I tried writing books that I enjoyed writing because I had ideas of where to go with them and I was allowed to be creative with them as much as I wanted. However, these did not do well whatsoever. A lot of people have asked me to come back to write the RDR book, and in all honesty I’ve considered it a number of times. The problem I have is I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. I could continue the story like the game, but then it just gets boring. There is a book that I am going to be making, and it’s an Elder Scrolls book. It will be an original piece, and it’s something I know I will enjoy writing because I know exactly what I want to do with it. If you’re interested in receiving something ORIGINAL with lots to offer, I highly recommend you give this a shot. I’ve run this by my good friend @krigofalltrades18 and since we both share a love for Elder Scrolls, he really enjoyed what I had to offer with this book. My hope is I will be writing this over the summer and that you will all enjoy it. If this goes well, I may be motivated to continue writing RDR.
