I realized I didn't explain why I was taking a break in my last announcement, so for those who are curious. This is why:

I'm not a good writer, I don't think I'm bad, but I'm not good.

I am nowhere near good enough to tell the stories I want in a way that people will want to read; at least, that's what I think. I have readers and I'm unbelievably thankful for them. If things had gone as I planned when I first started writing, I would have had no readers and I would have probably stopped writing and gone about my life as normal. But that isn't what happened. Instead, I gained views and readers, and I had fun writing.

Then I came to want to make my writing better, and that was stressful, so I stopped writing my first story as I didn't like what it became. I wanted to rewrite it, and I will. But I keep thinking I should write and post as soon as possible, yet that is where everything goes wrong; I don't give the words or myself time to breathe, and that creates tension for myself and sloppy stories.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

To combat my sloppy writing I've started to watch YouTube videos on how to better my writing. It has been helpful, but it also made me realize how many mistakes I've made. And surprisingly what mistakes I somehow hadn't made. The biggest problems I found were, my prose sucks (I already knew this) and I'm terrible at Show, Don't Tell. (This one I didn't know, but now that I've learned I can't stop thinking that my writing is nowhere good enough.)

So when I come back from my break I hope to have a completely new writing style that will hopefully make me a good writer, at least in my own eyes. But if I can't do that in the 2 or 3 months that I'm taking off, I may need to extend my break until I reach that point.

I got interrupted while writing and my ADHD brain forgot where I was going with this... So, I will just end by saying Thank You!

Thank you to everybody who has read my stories and to everyone who will read my stories!
