Hey. Sorry for not being super active on this site. Or at least, not as active as I like. But there’s a reason for that. As the title of the post probably suggests, I am taking a hiatus from writing stories on the site (which I know isn’t a good look considering I’ve only written like, four of them so far and none of them were even that big), and I don’t know how long it will last. Basically, what I feared would happen has happened: I started losing motivation and that creative spark.
That’s not to say that this site or these characters will be dead, far from it; I’m not done doing stuff with them, and I still have a lot of other characters in mind that I want to properly introduce. The problem is I made this site with the hope that I’d finally get the push I need to organize everything, plan it all out, and share it to the world. But it turns out that was premature and impulsive of me, as while I still want to continue Partners in Crime in some form, I realized I hadn’t fully thought out my vision for it. Most of the stories I’ve come up with for the site so far have been ones I came up with on a whim, same with the one I have been working on, and it basically feels like I’m writing it out of necessity instead of passion. I’ve been working with half baked ideas for what I want to do with this, and I felt like I’d be letting people down if I stopped now. But I realized that I’m trying to be in the mindset of someone who’s currently a lot further ahead with something like this than I am right now, and I think what’s best for me would be to just take a step back and think about my shortcomings as someone who wants to be an artist or creator, and hopefully fully decide on what I want to dedicate my time and life to.
Now, again, that’s not to say things will be dead. I do still want to make the most of this now that I have it, so I’ll still update the site with new art, comics, maybe some new characters, etc. whenever I get around to them. But as far as full fledged stories go, those are going to have a lot more time in the oven while I think things over. I apologize if you’ve been following this blog specifically for the stories, I just think this is what I need to do to get myself straight. I want whatever I end up creating to be as good as I can possibly make it. So whatever form Partners in Crime, or any of my other ideas, takes in the future, I hope it’ll be something special. At least for myself.
That’s all I have to say for now. Thanks for your time and understanding, and I’ll see you all on the flipside.
