YanYanGanaffi Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Due to lack of creativity....Ah hell, lack of writing ability, period...I'm taking a leave of absence. I was thinking about writing something interesting, but more then likely the typos I constently throw into my stories would disrupt the flow and irritate those who felt like reading. With two busted quill quests, a large number of unfinished/abandoned/just plain crappy stories, maybe it would be better if I took a bit of a leave. I'll be back eventually. If you need me, my e-mail is YanYanGanaffi@hotmail.com and I'll peek into the IRC every so often. See ya! Yan Yan Ganaffi.
Peredhil Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 you could always stay and help others by commenting on what they've done, and how it makes you feel. I know I have little time to actually write any more, but no one seems to hate me hanging around. That seems to be true for everyone - we're a family, not a job. Two busted QQ? And? *hugs* something will click for you. Having been Muse-Abandoned before, I know that I can't force creativity to meet my own goals. The more I stress and try, the further She retreats. You're still welcome here. And since when would typos disqualify you? A spelling/grammar checker can catch those - but no computer can speak from the heart. unfinished stories! I think the *only* one I have finished is the co-authored one with Zool and Yui-chan (and she was the closer!) You can take time off if you want of course. But those reasons? It sounds like you need to be with those who like and love you even more than ever until you can not be so hard on yourself. *hugs* -Peredhil's two cents
Katzaniel Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 I'm not sure what to say, except that I need to tell you that I think you're overreacting. Temporary loss of creativity happens to all of us. Unfinished / abandoned stories are really more of the norm than any other type. Typos are minor, even if they do squeak past a spellchecker. And your writing does not suck. I know from talking to you earlier on MSN that you've convinced yourself you can't write for a while, but does that really warrant changing your title to "Loser" and skipping out on the coming Summer Festival? Stick around.
Zariah Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Hey Jason. I've been here for months with nothing upstairs. But I've been here struggling....and also enjoying otehrs' work. Stick around! We all like you and want company at the Penkeep!
Mynx Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 *hugs YanYan* You know where I am if you need me. The choice is up to you, but I pray your absence will not be for long.
DoctorEvil Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 .......With two busted quill quests ......... Bah!!!! Busted Quill Quest indeed! Wear your so-called busted Quill Quests as a badge of honor. Quill Quests and Weenie Awards are merely a tool of the Bourgeois to oppress the Proletariat!!! :woot: Rise up and throw off the chains EvilWeevel!!!!!! Don't let the "Man" keep you down. Only the deceased lack creativity. You are just burdened with the feeling of a lack of creativity. What you need to do is going find some monkeys and open up a can of whoopass on them. That'll make you feel better!
lumpenproletariat Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Quill Quests and Weenie Awards are merely a tool of the Bourgeois to oppress the Proletariat!!! Hear hear!
YanYanGanaffi Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Posted June 20, 2005 Well, looks like my muse returns and brought friends. I have started writing again in the scarlet pen. It's mostly horror right now, but I hope you guys like it. Yan Yan
reverie Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 funny how some of the people lampooning quests are the ones that never had to do one... *shruggs* Anyways, good for you Yan... Oh and just so you know... Writer's block is no big deal... I've been here a for a decent while now, and during that time had writer's block for like a year and half... So you're in good company... rev...
