My motivation is continually sapped when nothing happens for days on end here. It's been what, five days now? And it's a weekend right now, edging rapidly into summer. Surely someone's alive and able to write. I'm more than perfectly able to write my standalone stories, but currently I need to see what Shadow writes next so I know how to continue interacting with the world and his story. That's another thing that grinds this place to a halt, people starting something and then vanishing for weeks or months at a time, leaving those who joined in wallowing about aimlessly (though Shadow has said numerous times to wait three weeks for his stuff...I'm taking this into account but still it's annoying).

My time is limited, yes. Between school, then school and work, and now just work (over the past several years), I've only ever had a couple hours a day to contribute here. Yet I still did. I would still continue to do so if there were more opportunities to interact, yet we've grinded to a halt.

Also out of curiosity, I seem to be noticing a pattern. When I find time to write something, this place gets energized for a couple days. When I stop temporarily, that energy goes away. Is this an act of my imagination, or is this situation true?

Forgive my idle ramblings. I just woke up (graveyard shift is wonky like that) and may not be in the best state of mind or mood. Just dropping off some food for thought.
