Sorry.

I'm sure we've all had these days. Feeling under the weather...feeling sadder than the previous day. Feeling out of it even if we want to actually make it seem like we've got it all under control. Lately, I've been having those days. 

I have joined asianfanfics as an outlet to write about my love for my ship or more often, just an outlet for me to vent out all my feelings and frustrations into writing. This has been my safe haven-- a place where I feel most comfortable at when I feel like everything is going under or whenever I feel stressed. But lately it isn't so anymore. I've been thinking this has been more trouble than what it is worth. That joy I've been feeling whenever I write isn't there anymore. Every time I write now, I feel like it isn't serving its purpose anymore.  

 

I'm sorry if I've been disappointing lots of readers with all my updates. I have some followers in twitter here and even if I seem to be just happy there all the time, I really am not in a good place right now. And I'm sorry that it shows in my works. 
 

...I've been thinking of deactivating my AFF account for good once Shoebox ends. 

 

Just today, I've been thinking of quitting writing all together, too.

Omg noooooo authornim. Please don't deactivate your account and don't quit writing. It's okay if you're going to hiatus. We're willing to wait for your update once you are ready :( You're one of the best darahae fanfic writer here. I'm sorry if some readers force you to update fast sometimes. I know it's really hard to write a great story in a short period of time. I just want you to know that you're an amazing writer. So, i hope you could think twice about this matter. Authornim, jebal kajima!!! Himnaera!!! I love you <333

Authornim! Ano baaaa! Laban! Kaya yan! We're hear and we'll just wait whenever you're ready. Please don't deactivate. It's okay if would go under hiatus... You have other priorities and we really understand but at least let your name stays and be visible here. You, leaving ... It's truly saddening. Sigh. The time I became a Royal, I had Shoebox and your other stories to feel giddy and read on. You and your stories inspire me to try to write too.

Eonni. Kaya to. Arachi?

Not you too ms. Authornm...
I know how you feel. But, maybe atleast rest first and re-think everything.
You make us feel alive when you update your stories. Your stories are great! And you have passion in it.
I also wouldn't want you to leave, but if leaving what makes you happy then do it.

I still adore you! To infinity and beyond!

I understand how you feel completely,

I hope that you do what you feel is best for yourself but don't ever doubt your work as an author. If you doubt it then others will start to doubt it and so far, as a reader of Shoebox, I am 100% happy with what you have given us. I enjoy reading the characters, watching them grow and develop and yes, you pull a YG sometimes but who doesn't?

Personally, I wouldn't want you to deactivate. I enjoy our conversations in the messages and I enjoy reading a comment from you about my stories. However, I want happiness for you and I want you to be content with what you want to do. If you want to deactivate then do it but make sure that its what you want most importantly.

I have one piece of advice though; never quit writing. It will always be something that you'll forever regret not keeping in your heart-even if its a few lines a day with your thoughts, ideas or just your feelings in general, always write and never give up on writing. Your stories are good and I'd love to see another story written by you in the future.

Just don't give up writing-don't waste away something that you're good at.

T^T For what it's worth, i think you're one of those who writes one of the best fanfics and it shows especially in Shoebox. It's so sad to see your blog about deactivating because i always look forward in reading your works. Now i've got 2 fave darahae writers going in permanent (hope not) hiatus (i'd like to consider it that), the other being ladykika.

I totally understand you but I hope in time you would find that joy to return here again and continue delighting not just Darahae readers but whoever and whatever you feel like writing on.

Thank you for Shoebox ♥♥♥

I feel sad that you no longer feel happy when you write, but as your reader, I cannot do anything about that. You might want to go on hiatus first but not totally deactivate your aff acct. I know that once upon a time aff had made your writing worthy, sad to say we cannot really please everyone, I know that your readers comments have made it worthwhile but there are some who becomes frustrated when you don't update for a long time. Not all of your readers can understand that you have also a life besides writing. All you need to remember is that there are still some of us who had been looking forward to your stories and updates even if it takes a long time. As long there are still readers who follows and comments, let it be your motivation to continue!
