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

What?? Cliche and cringy?? Dang girl you are like one of the best writer I've discovered in aff! Seriously! It's a pity you won't be updating soon but I understand especially the laziness part xD I can't even imagine how good you are now as a writer if your old stories are enough for me to say that girl you're talented! Years go by and I'm not tired of saying that I'll be waiting for you no matter how long it takes. I will still be excited for your updates even if I have to wait in 10 years. Well that just shows how much of a fan I am of your writing. Take care!

I really appreciate the update! I've been a fan of your stories and read them in high school, myself. I completely understand what you mean because I am going through the exact same thing with my stories/inspiration and so on. It's totally understandable. I always adored your writing and if you think your old writing was not good and your focuses are on improvement, I cannot wait for the sheer GOLD you will eventually produce someday with hope and patience because I always thought your writing was great.

Best of luck!!

LOL I totally understand. I'm not going to update anytime soon, unless I feel especially inspired by Changmin's return from service. We'll see though! I definitely have a fair few new plots I'd like to work on. :) Good luck, darling!

Gosh, it's been a while! I understand completely what you are going through as I myself am struggling with continuing some of my stories now that my perspective has completely shifted. Alas, I wish you well and lots of strength!
