great advice from the people above; take them to heart.


now for some of my opinions. whats funny about this is the fact that your friend, whom i think isnt much older or younger than yourself, "knows" whats gonna get you somewhere in life. you get somewhere in life by doing what you love doing.
if you love writing stories, great! and if you decide to incorporate the story into a mod, and such, and afterwards get positive feedback from other users (if the mod was made correctly), it can greatly inspire one to continue; to make something even better than the past projects one has made. it also helps greatly on imagination, i might add.
countless mods of several different games have helped promote people in the game industry. Dear Esther is a great example of this (the creators are now working with FG on AAMFP, i believe), not to mention that Valve, has its staff greatly consisting of previous modders. i could go on ranting about the positive sides of doing what you love doing, but im sure you get the point.

dont lose faith in the project you lost. do some brainstorming; try to figure out an even more exciting and motivating way to incorporate your story into your mod. i know the feeling; ive been there; but there is light at the end of the tunnel, i assure you. when youre not motivated, as the people above have stated; push on through; and you'll eventually be inspired by the fact that your mod; and your ideas are finaly comming to life.
