When writing becomes a chore

[avalicious]

Well, if you're a writer you'll know what I mean.

I have these other fics, and I feel the constant need to update them for my readers.

now, i hate this feeling because I write for ME, and for no one else.

writing.. is a bit of an outlet, for myself. I write because it puts me into a different world, and it relieves my stress.

Now, I was wondering what you guys would think, would it be wrong for me to put all of my stories but one on hiatus? Because I want to start writing again because I want to. The one story i'll continue to update is Heaven and Hell, because it's still in the new stage, to where I am still enjoying writing it.

am I the only one who ever feels like this? and is it wrong to put them on hiatus?

thanks.

Girl,

You've read my mind.

In fact, I have two stories I haven't updated since I started.

I'm horrible, I know

I think if you want to put them on hiatus, put them on hiatus.

They'll be okay, and will find other things to read in the meantime.

I feel you. I feel so bad when I don't update regularly so then I end up posting horrid chapters just to get in a quick update. I'd much rather my readers have to wait until I have the urge to write so that they get to read a chapter that I was happy to write and that I was pleased with in the end. Ya know?
