Open letter to Fanfiction.net reviewers....

[misora]

No, I am not abandoning my Zutara piece, The Penance Series.

No, I am not abandoning my other huge ATLA fic, Lotus Resiliens. I'm working on it right now, as a matter of fact. I've invested too much time plotting and planning to simply let it fall by the wayside.

No, I am not abandoning my WHR fic, Hieros Gamos, either.

I know I am a horrendously slow updater. It has to do with how busy I am IRL. But rest assured, I am not abandoning any of my fics. The only ones you won't see continued are the ones clearly marked "one-shot".

If you'd actually leave signed-in messages, I would be able to respond to you directly with these answers. Why ask a question without any way for me to contact you to answer? If you didn't want an answer to the question, why would you ask it in the first place?

Oh God, I feel you so much. I update basically at the pace of an arthritic slug. I think it's because I get too distracted easily. I need to actually sit down, discipline myself better, and write.

I need to work to change this. Procrastination is one of my worst faults.

And yeah, I can understand your frustration. How do people expect you to respond if they don't leave signed in reviews? I'd be tempted to disable anonymous reviews altogether when I got fed up enough, but that's just me. XP

And hey, you've got a baby due pretty soon, so your updates will be even slower. :)

I definitely have been guilty of procrastination in the past, but for me the problem right now seems to be getting "stuck" creatively. And then losing my focus, and turning to something else non-writing-related, like making jewelry. I have too many things I want to do! And not enough focus.

Part of it also may be the impending baby arrival; I've been quite anxious about that.

Haha, this would be the only reason I would ever consider disabling anon reviews. I guess I haven't reached the breaking point yet. XD
