Break

Hello everyone! 

There's a few things that I would like to touch on in this post (mind you, this post is long). And sad to say, I will be taking a break from writing for the time being.

Firstly, I am not running out of ideas. In fact, I have plenty of them. It's just that I haven't been able to write well lately and I am hardly able to get myself into the mood of writing something good. This is substantiated by the two mediocre completed fics that I have posted recently, another fic not updated for more than a month and three unfinished drafts saved in my laptop. All of these shows that sigh, it's not that I do not want to write, but I just can't.  After writing a line or two, I would find myself watching videos onYoutube, reading other stories, doing whatever but just not typing. I must say that my usual short attention span has worsened drastically for a reason that I would elaborate on later. 

Secondly, I would like to apologise (even if I'm not really sure if I need to) for the two latest fics that I had uploaded and completed. I was disappointed by the quality of these two fics, knowing that I did not put in much effort in the first place. I actually think of them as below mediocre, honestly. Nevertheless, I am thankful for the readers who still upvoted and commented on these two fics, though knowing very well that with a quality like that, it should not be a surprise when nobody does as such. These two fics - one revolving around Sehun having anger problems and the other with Sehun as a dog hybrid bought by Jongin, are enough to tell myself that I should stop posting fics that are below my standard. If I were to post a story that even I myself couldn't accept, what makes me think that you all would be satisfied with it?

Thirdly, I had a pretty rough academic year this year. I fared so badly that I need to do well next year in order to prevent myself from getting kicked out of the school at the end of next year lol. But that's not a reason why I would not be updating as often, I think. All right so how do I explain myself here? This sounds like an excuse but yeah. For the first half of the year, I worked real hard, being in a new school and all. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do well. In fact, I scored really bad in almost all subjects that I took, except for languages. The actual blow came around mid-year, where we had to sit for our mid-year examinations. As expected, I did terribly for almost all of my subjects. It was around that time that I didn't really give half a to my studies already. After mid-years, I had around two to three months to pick up my game and do well for my end-of-year exams. However, I do not see my results improving and eventually, I lost confidence and gave up on doing well. 

This is where my short attention span comes in. With the lack of confidence in doing well academically coupled with my lackadaisical attitude, my attention span shortened even more. And tada (not really, it was kinda expected), I screwed the end-of-years too. But I got nervous some time before the exams and actually studied seriously for quite awhile. Yes, my results improved slightly but they weren't good enough. All in all, I lack determination and motivation, which ultimately affected my story updates. Sorry, whoever who read my stories.

Therefore, I will only update and/or post stories that are up to my own standard from now onwards. Yet for that to happen, it must wait till I get myself into the mood or I don't know, really. I do not know how long it will take, but I will try to update something, regardless of it being my ongoing fic or a new story before 2015 ends. (By the time I reached here I have already gotten distracted 7-8 times woops.) No worries, I will not abandon 'You're So Beautiful You Made Me Forget My Pick Up Line', that is, my only ongoing fic at the moment. It's just a matter of time when I will update again.

Honestly, I don't actually know how many of my readers would chance upon this blog post but whatever, I need a place to pour this all out. If my friends and/or readers were to read this blog post up till here, thank you for staying with me till this far and I would very much like to know more about you! Let's interact! You can find me on aff (I will still be actively reading), tumblr, instagram and twitter (ranked according to the ones I use most to the least). Actually, I have wanted to ask my friends and readers on aff these questions for a few months already: (a) how old are you, and (b) which country are you from? Do let me know! I think it's a pretty good way to make friends! Though I asked for your age, I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to reveal mine...

I feel like I'm writing an essay oops. Finally, I hope this break will benefit me, allowing me to come back with fics that are of good quality and better vocabulary (I admit that mine is limited) for all of you out there.

Thank you for your kind attention! 係咁先喇, 咁多位! <3
