When it stops being interesting, it's time to take a break.

So as no one really reads the OCC blog, and rightfully so because this breaks all kinds of Immersion, but itt means I can get a few things off my chest...

Soulpatched Speaks is stagnating in my head... I'm down to around two characters and I'm currently suffering from a bit of writers block, I still have other characters I can work back into the store Including Ryan's Henchmen... but I really wanted some downtime between arcs so I can really cement things...

The problem here being, I'm not sure where to take it now...

I have a few story seeds, The Bokken, Anna's unresolved family issues. Maya and Antonio's final fate since hey there wasn't bodies, so who knows what the hell's up with them...

So some downtime might be an order, I got a barely touched character named Vergil from the "Organization" another dangling plot thread, since it seems that Paul and Maya seem to have some past with them involving Antonio.

Hell a prequel arc from that time, before Paul lost his memories could be interesting....

I just don't have the drive at the moment, and that's going to hurt the quality of writing in the blog. not to mention that I went and pissed off another writer when I went and used a location from their blog in a recent post, and to be fair, was rightly called on that blunder... It was one of those moments where I had to sit back and thing "Well Jim you done fucked up proper this time, you had better apologize and offer to make amends"

So I already e-mailed that author back and apologized for the blunder, I won't spend much more time on it here.

So if a post gets a rewrite or gets pulled, or if in a future post I mention in passing how Paul had gone to the wrong location, which to be fair it pretty easy considering that he really had no idea where the fuck it was, and probably found the first burned down house on the beach in the area and called it good....

Shit... yeah this is not a good day to be a Slender-blogger... But hey, a lesson, *Do not* assume because there blog has not updated in a few blogs, and all there principal characters are dead, that the writer has moved on, it will bite you in the ass.

So where do I take it from here? Start up a new blog in the meanwhile? Dueling blogs with myself sounds kinda funny but I barely have the time to be bothered with writing one blog, and for realism it would mean starting up a SECOND dummy g-mail for the acct, and holy balls do I not like having to log off the Soulpatched e-mail to followup on my posts....

I'll weigh the options... and I'll get back to you guys on here, or on the story blog.
