So uh...its been a while...
It's just as the title says. Its been a very long while since the last time I've been on this site; over a year to be exact. And I honestly don't know what to say but I guess I'll just start out with this:
I'm sorry.
I'd like to believe that some of you on here have been reading my fics ever since I first started out on here. And I realized that I've been writing fanfiction for about 3 years. Maybe it doesn't seem like much to some of you, but it is to me. When I started writing fics, I felt like fanfiction = life. My mind was all about writing and reading them. And I found a lot of joy from it. Before I found this site, I've always enjoyed writing, even though I wasn't exactly good at it. Once I came here, I began writing more and more because I really enjoyed creating stories. But my joy for writing fics grew the moment I realized that people enjoyed what I was writing. I was happy to receive so many subscribers for all of the fics that I created and it made me want to write better and create more.
But I was young at the time, where I didn't think that I would become so busy that I wouldn't have time for fics anymore. And it did happen.
Some of you may know my fic "An Unforgettable Memory". At the time, I was really enjoying writing it. I thought it was going to be my longest fic I've ever written. But just like most authors/writers, I obtained a writer's block, which caused me to go on what I thought was a short hiatus. I didn't bother telling people I was going on a short hiatus because there were many times when I wouldn't update for the longest times since I was so busy with everything else in my life.
And eventually at some point, I decided to just stop writing it. I didn't know how to continue it anymore and I was too busy to write more anyway. I decided to end the story exactly where it was. I should've at least told my subscribers, but I was even too busy to come back on to the site.
The same thing happened to my fic "I'm Not Cute!". I was really excited while writing it. I thought that I would be able to get back into writing after this. And I even promised myself that if I finished this, I would get back to the other and finish it. But once again, writer's block came and I became too busy to write anymore. I wanted to come back, but I didn't. I left the story unfinished and never came back.
Recently, I came back to this site because its been awhile since I've been on here, and to be honest, I've missed it. I missed staying up extremely late writing a new chapter no matter how late it was. I missed waking up the next day to see new subcribers and comments on my fic. I missed being able to write freely and having people tell me that they like what I write.
I've missed all of it.
I've been gone for a little over year and what I can really tell you is that I've grown up. I'm not the same person I used to be when I started writing fics. I've matured well. I'm done with high school; I'm off to college in just a few weeks. My writing has changed; it isn't what it used to be. It's gotten better. And while I haven't been on this site, I've been writing, a lot even. And I compared myself to when I was so obsessed with this. I'm completely different, but my love for writing hasn't changed.
And so I've made a decision.
I will definitely finish "I'm Not Cute!". I am determined to write until the story is done. It's my longest going fic and I'm gonna keep going till the end. But after I finish it, I will retire from fic writing. I won't be writing fics anymore; I won't be starting any new projects that I know I won't finish. What kind of author/writer would that make me of I just did that to you guys? So I'm just going to call it quits. I'm not deleting this account though; this account will stay here forever since I've written a quite a few things that I just can't give up, so you guys could always re-read them if you desire. It's not that I don't want to keep making new fics for you guys, but its just so I can progress with my life. In order for me to keep moving forward, I have to leave something behind.
Don't think I'm leaving forever though. Maybe one day when I've managed my time a little better, I'll write a fic again. I'm not giving up on writing, so don't think you'll never hear from me again. I'll always continue writing.
But until that day comes, my focus is to finish what I've started. So if you're reading my recent fic, be ready. And I hope none of you are upset with me for going on a year-long hiatus and not saying anything. And it really means a lot that you guys have stuck with me for so long. You guys will always be apart of my world.
But hey, I'm not gonna get sappy just yet. I'm not saying goodbye just yet. I'm back in the fanfiction world for a while. So I hope you enjoy what I have to offer c: <3
And really, thank you so much for everything guys <3333
