Well, so here it is. I have been holding out hope that I'd get another chapter done soon. I started writing, didn't like it, and deleted about 10k words, started again... got hit by a few unfortunate/nasty messages, dealing with being stuck at home, dealing with stuff... and, well, realized that I am currently happier without the pressure of having to deliver a weekly, monthly or whatever chapter. I still write a bit here and there, a few words on this book, but also following on another idea that I had... but much more leisurely and at my own pace, which is kinda slow overall.
Maybe this webnovel stuff isn't for me after all... maybe it is. I am torn. I have really enjoyed the positive interaction, feedback from many of you, and delivering content to people that enjoy it. I don't enjoy delivering content to people that don't enjoy it and let me know that they don't in words or ratings.
Stolen story; please report.
Sorry to let everybody down, especially if you followed along on the rewrite. I am sure that you hoped for grand new adventures BEYOND what I had written the first time around. And I did too. I had/have plenty of (good?) ideas. Of course, the rewrite took a lot longer than initially planned, because I basically rewrote everything. Much better too, in my opinion, but apparently that sentiment isn't shared by lots of people. I have a good number of followers, and I was/am happy about that, but... well, I just don't have it in me right now. Really sorry. I feel like I am letting people down. But... if I kept on working on it right now, I think it won't benefit anyone because the product will be bad.
Maybe I will pick this up later again, maybe not. It depends on when/if I rediscover my muse and excitement for this book.
