so … the last few years on wp have been great. i love it here, i do, i love reading bestseller-worthy literature and all the wonderful people i’ve met. and no, i’m not leaving, i’m just taking a step back.
i feel stuck in this constant cycle of rewriting my stories. it happened with inured, and i pushed through, it happened with kingdom come (which i fear will never see the light of day again) and now it’s happening with army dreamers. but instead of just pushing through this time, i’ve thought about why i feel the way i do about my writing, and i think it comes down to the best and worst thing on wp: the engagement. with my system of writing and publishing as i go, i’ve tended to focus on how long it’s been since i updated, since someone voted or commented, etc, instead of actually writing. so what to do?
i am going on hiatus again. lol. sorry not sorry. but this time i’m staying on it until i’ve written much, much more ─── separate from wp and its stupid metrics. idk when i’ll be back, but i will, and i’ll still be online but icl i’m busier than ever.
inured is staying up. i’m genuinely super happy with it rn, although not inspired to continue it atm, so it’s going back on hold. army dreamers is going to be unpublished, but still readable on ao3 along w ruination. other drafts are staying in the drafts. i don’t know how long this will be for, but trust that i’ll stay in touch and i will come back.
thank you all so very much, eliya <3
