The reason I'm delaying the prequel of Talking Eyes

So, here is the thing, long time ago I asked a beta reader to correct certains sentences and grammar of my chapters. And I told her that I would have payed her and she accepted the "job". She beta read 1, 2 and 3 chapter and that was it. She then contacted me saying that she was too busy with exams/school or something like that(I don't remember well sorry, it happened towards november 13/14 of 2015) and I was okay with it, I mean I didn't want her to go bad in her exames bcs of me, so I was okay with it. Luckily, a friend of her took her place and said that he would have beta read my chapters. And I was very happy about it.

But till this fine day, from 15/11/15 to 16/02/16 I received not one improved chapther from him/her. Now the time where he/she said that he would have took over her place and helped me, I didn't really care when he would have sent the chapters. I was studying for my driving license (I failed two times so I pretty mad/depressed) so you can guess how much I wasn't into Talking Eyes. I mean, when the personal life take over your writting time, you can't really do nothing about it. But now that I finished with the driving license thing, I have again time to write and improve my writting skills and english too. That's why when I got back to write again, and read again the past chapters, I remembered how bad was my english(and still is sometimes) so I wanted contact that guy/girl again, but since I'm too shy and not the type that bug people(I really don't like it), I rant my frustration on the blog Embarassing discovery and that's when he/she contacted me himself/herself and told me that she/he was sorry for the delay and that she/he would have worked on the chapters in the weekend. But untill today I didn't receive a thing from her/him. I don't know if is bcs of email problems or what, but I got nothing.

I'm a very patient person, but I can't stand imperfections(yes I'm a perfectionist) And since I couldn't stand the sight of my bad grammar, I decided to worked on it myself. Even if it takes months I want to improve that bad grammar of mine in those chapters. The thing is I also promised that I would have started to publish the prequel early February, but since I'm so busy beta reading my own chapters, I don't think I'll be able to update anything these months. And that really bugs me, because I had written the epilogue of Talking Eyes, and Two chapters of the prequel (title still undecided, plz suggest me some) and was planing to post them, but with all the work I have to do with Talking Eyes, it will be pretty much impossible to do so. I don't know maybe it's better this was, so I can write more chapters for the prequel, but still..sigh.

 

Offtopic: idk if you had noticed but I have more than 200subs(still 24 comments though. sigh) and I can't understand. Is that normal? I mean, I tried once to make the story just for subscribers only, when I had merely 60 subs, but no one subscribed, so I made the story avaible to everyone again. Now since I completed the story, I made the story again for subs only and BAMM, everyday I have new subs and the views grea everyday as well, Is that normal?(I'm not used to it)
