new to sourdough

 hey  i just started my own starter and it seems to be doing what its suppose to do  i've had it for 2 weeks and the first weekend i made 3 loaves and they where awesome  then the middle of the 2nd week i tried to make another loaf  and it didn't rise  i feed it that mornning before work then 9 hours later after work is when i tried it  also i only used 1/4 cup flour/water to feed on that day and i've been keeping it out of the fridg and feeding it every day i geuss im confused on making the sponge  sence all the info i got from the internet says to take out of the fridg  and feed it for a day or 2 before baking with it  but sence its been out of the fridg isn't that the same as keeping a sponge the whole time thanks for any help here

          p.s.  i love baking and cooking in general   and have been making some awesome yeast bread for years with commercial yeast and thought i would like wild yeast better more from scratch if, you know what i mean  anyways thanks again
