Story Hiatus (all of them)
Hey guys!
Not sure if many of you still know who I am (heh) but that's okay! I'm happy to make new friends. ^ ^
So I haven't updated any of my stories in years. It's very sad for me particularly because I know what it's like to wait for updates that never happen. I used to be like that, where I'd just re-read everything over and over and hope for some kind of update. However, I would just like to apologise sincerely. Because I will not be updating any of my stories.
Why?
There are many reasons.
The most important reason is because: as the days pass, I become a new person. The biggest change in me is that now I am an adult. I wrote stories for fun, back when I was young and idealistic. I had a lot of free time, and my imagination was rampant. Looking back at my stories, I realise how young I was and how incredibly naive my stories sounded. To a point where I was quite embarrassed! I would read them back and think: gosh, that is so cliche and so cringey. I would never get to a point where I wish I never wrote them however! I am so happy with how my stories turned out, even if they were cutesy and kinda cliche. But I wanted to write stories that people liked and enjoyed, and I think to some capacity I achieved that. Because I received so much love and met lots of wonderful people through my stories, I will always be grateful for this opportunity to create stories, and explore the relationships between people.
The next reason is probably not obvious. I am unhappy with my writing. I read my stories and I think I could have written it so much better than what I did. There are so many errors: from the writing to the grammar to the plot line, and I feel that there's just too much I can't go back and re-write. Being the sporadic person that I am, I end up writing new stories to explore new ideas and plots. And that's not fair to my other stories.
Finally, I think the biggest impact of my hiatus was laziness. I simply did not have the creative juices to fuel my stories into life again.
So what happens now?
Well. That means I'm going to retire all my stories. The on-going ones anyway. I want to keep them all in the vaults for now, but they will still be available online to read. I will just not be updating them. For now. I have hopes that I will be inspired to breathe new life into my stories, but for now they will sadly be put into permanent hiatus. I am so very sorry to do this, but from my frustration with the plot/characters/etc to being just too busy, I cannot find the time or the inspiration to move them further.
About Anatomy of Choi Sooyoung
I have had people (still!) ask me if they can read the older version. I have the older one stored somewhere and because my new version was just anyway (lol) I'm going to post it back up so you can all enjoy it. God I was like... still a teenager when I wrote that. I can't even look at it haha! ^ ^
So what happens now?
Well, I'm always itching to write. As I've now finished university and have started the next phase of my life, I find that I actually have a lot more free time that I thought. I guess that's because I am a hermit and I dislike venturing outdoors hehe. There's a story I'm creating, but that is a far off dream for now. I will not release anything until I've written and meticulously planned the storyline. The days are gone when I can just sit down and smack out a whole chapter in one day. I'm a lot more careful when it comes to life now. Rest assured, I will still include the (ofc) because I'm too damn for my own good (lol!)
I hope you all understand. And I hope that everyone has been well since I last saw you guys. I'm sorry again for putting things into hiatus, but I promise I'll come back, one way or another.
Thank you guys.
Sol~ <3
