Concerning the Hidden Chapters, One Story in Drafts, and the Slowness of Updates

Hello hello hello! Are you all doing well? I hope so? Does anyone actually check out blogs to understand what's going on? Probably not! But here we are anyway :)

So, yes, there have been some interesting...changes (I guess we'll call them that?) on this account. And no, I'm not talking about my name or me being unable to decide on a Junmyeon photo, that stuff isn't what's important. Nope, I'm talking about the big questions:

"Why is Are The Shards Put Back Together? in draft status?"

"Why are the chapters of Will Things Reall Get Better? (WTRGB?)  and Once Broken, Forever Broken, Right? hidden?"

"Why haven't you updated your other fics? Why is it taking so long?"

Well, my dear readers, you ask these questions, and I have answers for you! So, here we go, *adjusts glasses and holds up imaginary paper* ahem:

1) The reason that Are The Shards Put Back Together? (ATSPBT?) is in draft status ties in with why Once Broken, Forever Broken, Right? (OBFBR?) having its chapters hidden. So, I'm going to answer those two questions now. For OBFBR? it was the first fic I ever wrote, and while I'm happy I wrote it, I look back and reread and cringe at my writing skills, they were so weak back then it's not even funny. It's gotten to the point where I've decided to take the whole thing and edit it. So I'm doing that, but at the same time I didn't want to mislead people to a incomplete prequel by having them go from ATSPBT? to OBFBR?. So, to avoid that, I simply put ATSPBT? on draft status. Don't worry, it'll be back up, I just have to finish revising OBFBR?.

2) The same thing can be said for WTRGB?, it's another early fic that I've decided needs major revisions, so I'm working on that as well. These stories, they mean a lot to me and I want to make them the best they can be that my ability at the time allows, and that means revising. So, WTRGB? and OBFBR? are being revised, but they'll all be back up completely as quick as possible.

3) Concerning my other fics: I have made a grave mistake, do you know what it means to be "burnt out"? Yeah, that's what happened. With everything going on, I've accidentally burnt myself out which is something that you should try to avoid at all costs. That's the reason why Let The Sea Be Calm and my other fics haven't been updated in a while. I know, it's not that bad of a gap, but I don't like leaving you guys hanging! I know how it feels to not have a fic you like be updated in a long time, I don't wanna make you guys go through that! But ironically, in my attempts to prevent that, I just let it happen with worse consequences. So, what does this mean? Well, it just means that I'm going to take on easier things. Revising WTRGB? and OBFBR? are first in line in that list, and the other things I'll just take at a slower pace. I'm not discontinuing any stories or anything, I just need a little bit of a break, I hope you all understand.

I write my fics to give my readers entertainment, and if I can make your day a little bit better with my fics then that's all that matters to me. But right now, I just need to take a minor break. I hope you all understand, thank you so much for sticking with me through all of my weird Author's Notes and other things, it means a lot to me. I hope that I can see you all in my stories, and I hope you're all doing well! Thank you for being my readers! Bye~ (^_^)V
