Dear Reader,

I am sorry to confess this story is not bringing me any joy to write. I have had the idea for years and now that I am writing it, it brings me no pleasure. I get more excited about writing Josh & Maya (Girl Meets World) and Sherlock & Joan (Elementary) fan fiction. I am more excited about writing my novel than this story. And the sad lack of reviews, four, have discouraged me even further. I am sure if several of the other "big" name authors in this fandom was writing this story, they would have dozens of reviews.

But it is not about that.

I don't do it for the reviews. I never have. I did it for the pleasure of writing, because of my love for Jane and Lisbon and the desire to see them together. I did it to become a better writer, which I have, thanks to the dedication I put into writing Mentalist stories.

So, I am deleting this story this weekend and starting a new one. That story will most likely be my last one unless I come up with an idea I absolutely love for the Christmas season. But I am not making any promises because I don't even know where I'll be in terms of stories and things come November when I usually write my fan fiction. I might just do a one-shot, not a multi-chapter. It all depends on things I can't even see right now.

I hope you all understand where I am coming from.

Love,
