Alrighty y'all. I'm not dead, and I haven't dropped the story. I don't want to drop the story. This is just a good ole case of no motivation, mainly cuz I'm kinda sick of the party.

I didn't really plan them out all too well, and I feel like they're hindering the plot more than they actually contribute. I'd want to go back and rewrite it all, but I've been trying to avoid doing that. I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I have this one other story that I've been trying to write for years. The reason I haven't gotten too far is exactly because I keep trying to go back and make it better, which leads to zero progress.

I feel that way about The Shifter. I feel I could do much better, but I also told myself I wouldn't rewrite it. The downside to that, is that I lose all motivation to write something that I don't feel good about. So, yeah, I've been torn up about what to do with it. Do I cave in and break the promise I made to myself, and rewrite The Shifter to where I feel better about it? Or do I try to push through and salvage what I can from where it's at now? Ugh.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

I might try and figure out how to make a poll, and have you guys decide. That might make me feel better about it all. If I figure out how, it'll be obvious. I should also prolly put it below the chapter, so y'all can read this first before deciding randomly without the facts.

Anyway, if you guys want to read a longer version of this, I'll put a link to it in the author's note, because for some dumb-fuck reason, I can't put links in the chapter content, but I'm not mad about that, no, not at all.
