I haven't been going online here on AFF that much anymore, if you noticed.

I don't really want to burst anyone's bubble, but I thought that maybe I should let you guys know.

I've lost my motivation in writing Asian Fanfiction, as much as I hate to say this. I really do. For the past few months, I've been really into rock music and I don't usually get the chance to listen to Korean songs anymore, being a K-Pop fan myself. At first, I thought it was a musical rebirth, only involving my preferences in music but never forgetting my love for K-Pop and Asian pop culture. But as time passes, I find myself forgetting what it's like to be this kind of fangirl, whether it'd be an ELF, VIP or such. This fangirl spirit has been the one moving me to write stories based on the singers/artists that I love. But then, it has crossed my mind; as I browse my past stories, I wonder...

...is this what I really aim for?

I write romance novels and such, but I want something more than that. My plots can't get any more predictable and... empty, in a way that I find myself reading it. Maybe it's not only a musical rebirth, but also the way that I read and write novels. I love writing, and probably I'll never give up writing in my whole life. But my point is that I want to inform you guys that I'm on a journey of finding that better author in me. I enjoy writing for your entertainment and love it when you state how happy my stories make you, but I've decided that I'll take a break from Asianfanfics.com in search of another way to express my thoughts through words.

Rock music has broadened my perspective towards literature, and I'm thankful for that. I never read books and I never appreciate the words and read between the lines. But listening to rock songs made me see another side to literature, and I'm willing to break on through to the other side (HAHA), to test my abilities and to improve my writing.

I'll also be finding that hidden Asian pop culture fangirl that's still within me. I won't force myself; it will take time. It's just that I want to dig a little deeper, y'know? With these Asian songs and the reason behind my writing in honor of these music icons. I don't expect you to understand the reason why I'm doing this; I just want you to know that I'll be on hiatus for a while until the time comes when I return someday.

And maybe on that day, I'll be writing better stories for your entertainment.
