Some pointless rambling that isn't really pointless, but could be if nobody cared, but I care, so i'll just start telling what I want right now before this title gets any bigger.

Big and unnecessary, and obviously liar title aside, yes THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Basically I guess you all have noticed I haven't posted anything in a while, right? Yeah, I'm not dead, just demotivated. Yes, I know, a lot of people like my stories, and comment, THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT, but that's no what I mean.

When I started writing stories, over an year ago, I did it because I liked it, and wanted to do it as a hobby. I usually only write stories that I like, and all, but even though it is a hobby, I want to give you guys the best I can. Still this is not it.

What I'm trying to say is that, when I originally put schedules on my stories, I wanted it to be something to motivate me to produce more and to not keep you guys waiting, but, appearantly, it backfired. I am not usually the guy that likes schedules (I don't think anyone is), so when I created some to myself, I kind of felt obliged to keep posting, but as I said, I only want to do the best I can. The result is simple, I. JUST. COULDN'T.

With the schedules I imposed, I realised that I put myself under unnecessary pressure, and it affected the way I started writing my stories, because I was never satisfied with myself. Heck, Tales of the Blue Box still doesn't have a "Chapter 1" done, and it's not because I haven't written it yet, in fact, I wrote it 3 times! Three times. And in none of them I was satisfied with the result, the same doesn't go for Rhythm of Insanity Chapter 1, where I actually decided to have a little more patience in order to write, I could have posted already, but since the 2 stories are simultaneous, I will only post both at the same time.

As for [DATA EXPUNGED], I am not sure if I want to keep writing it. I mean, I don't feel like it anymore, and from my original script, there should be at least 3 more chapters, but... meh. I am caressing the "Cancelled" button, but I just can't work out the courage to end a story that is already halfway done, with a 1500+ word chapter, that I just have to finish and post. I'll put it on hiatus for a while, I guess, until I can figure out what to do with it, but... I'll need your opinions.

So, the moral of the story is, don't make schedules if you can't follow them, don't put pressure on yourself to do something you do for fun. There will be no more schedules on my stories. Weekly chapters was a terrible idea. I will come back and finish these stories, eventually, and also, I have a few others in mind (that I won't start before any of the already existing ones are finished) but anyway, for now I will get my thoughts and scripts back together, before I finish the new chapters I am pending to post, and then decide what to do with [DATA EXPUNGED] (I really need your help with that one), so rest assured, I will be back, and I'll be doing my best. Nicebye everyone.
