***Sorry for the long read. But please read it until the end,I am assuring you that it's worth it. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, It's a nice evening isn't it? Such a nice evening makes me really think hard about the past days. I normally do not talk about myself and the things around me in full length. But just for now, let me share how I feel. I thought you guys should know because you supported me for so long.

I love writing. I started writing when I was in college. I was bad at it. Really bad at it. I looked at my old notebooks and saw how ridiculous the stories were. My brother, listened to all of them despite them being really bad. I normally read the stories to him. He was the first who believed in my writing. And he still does even if he has no patience for reading until now.

When I learned about this site, I was thankful. I learned it by researching about Minsul---you all know I'm crazy about them. I started my first story and remembered how happy I was when I saw subscribers for "Why did I fall?". I thought "Wow...did I make a good foreword?" hahaha! The next day, I wrote the first chapter. I was that enthusiactic.

When my first story almost ended, I was overjoyed. People really read my work! And they said they like it. Wow....Just Wow...

I thought I've given everything I can give in my first story and I thought that I should stop there. But since you guys supported me and encouraged me to take another try, I did. And I wrote WW club, WMMAD and the others that followed. When I changed Genre, you also read my works (TNBL and TBH). When I wrote for non-minsul (Hard to Stop), some of you still tried to read my story and gave it a chance.

Can I ask for better readers? You Guys are really the best!

These days I've been praying for God to give me a dream. I'm already 27 this year and I still find myself lacking a dream. Last week, as I was finishing THE BLOOD HUNT. I realized I finally know what I want to do in life.

Yes. I want to write. I want to think until my head aches so much...I want to be challenged to think of plots that you will make you at the edge of your seats. I just think I have fallen in love with writing fiction stories. I like it so much that I want my works to be published after I edit them. My dream is to be a real life author and have my stories read around the world.

However, as some of you already know, my family's health is not good at the moment. Actually I had to quit my job last year in order to help my family. But being physically present isn't enough when finances are down.

That is why my beloved readers, I will take an indefinite break from writing.

I will try to explore ways in which I can use this talent to support my family. I will do that the next few months. But sooner or later, I have to stop. I have to set my priorities straight. I have to focus on the most important people in my life. If I find anything, I will surely let you know.

I will not be gone forever though. I will still visit my stories here. I will still read your comments from time to time and would still be thankful as I read each one. I will also still lurk in twitter (@itsmahogany4), so please follow me there.

Again thank you everybody for all the love until now. I know I can never return that love anymore now that I am taking a break. But know that I am really thankful inside my heart.

Please wish me luck in my future endeavors.

If everything comes to past, once everything is more stable, who knows, right? You might just be surprised to see an update from me in the future. :)

For now, I wish you all happiness.

Love,
