Please Note: This is Not a Chapter Update.
Hey everyone. So, I guess an update is really past due, huh? I disappeared for a while because I felt like I was in a really bad place. Writing is a hobby of mine that I love, and it should be fun. For a bit, it wasn't. I've had some personal issues going on outside of writing. Because of some added tension everything about writing and updating the story was getting really stressful and causing all sorts of anxiety.
I took a mental health break for a bit, just to get some time for myself. I know this isn't much of an excuse for abandoning the story, but I needed to do it for me. Things were getting pretty bad, and summer break let me take a little breather. Everything's finally falling back into place now, and I've got the itch to write again.
Now that I have my excuses out of the way, I have an announcement about "Home Coming". I will not be continuing it. Rereading the work I did before my break, I'm having a little trouble with it. I can't find whatever direction (if there ever was one) I was headed in before. It seems like there's nowhere else to go; everything feels stuck. And, now that I'm back to writing, I want to do something I know I'll have fun with.
In a week or so, I'm going to take down "Home Coming". I've been working on another story with the same sort of concept. It's another story about the aftermath of Sodapop being drafted, but I feel like, so far at least, I can keep up with this story.
Again, sorry about the wait. I should have posted a notice like this a lot sooner. Be looking out for my new story; right now it's called "A Year in Time". I'm hoping to have it up in just a few days. And, for anyone who may have seen my another story, I'm currently redoing the first chapter and will just restart "Trouble Knocking."
Thank you for keeping up with this story. All the reads and reviews mean a lot to me. I just felt the need to explain myself and apologize to anyone who might be curious as to what happened to the story.
And, I'm sorry if this post doesn't make a whole ton of sense! I typed it up very quickly, and just really wanted to post it.
