An update?! Finally?! You thought! Hahaha...

Anyways, this is here to tell you why I've been horribly inactive in general. For the first month or so of inactivity, I truly was just busy or unmotivated to send out chapters. But later on, I started really thinking about where my stories were headed, both The Esper and the Fox and Isolation, Connection. And of course, I had no idea.

A few more weeks of thinking and I've decided to rewrite The Esper and the Fox, completely from the beginning. This is because, now that I really look at it, I had nothing. The plot was getting nowhere, characters didn't really have a distinct personality, badly woven descriptions, unexplained things, etc. New plot line will remain generally the same but there will be many major differences to the original one. The way the new story line is going, I might have to make a sequel. I've already started drafting chapters and right now, I want to say there's around 4 chapters worth of content, however, only the first chapter is really set in stone. I've reminded myself that I'm the type who can't really visualize the finale unless I have drafted almost everything. Currently, I'm drawing a blank as to what else to write because I want some sort of chapter to lead into the next rather than an abrupt introduction into it. Because of this, I'm putting the chapters I already have for the rewrite under heavy revisions. Please keep in mind that I'm not working on this every chance I get but rather spending a bit of my free time on this, with the exception of whenever a rare writing spree occurs.

Next, I want to address Isolation, Connection. I haven't forgotten about this one either and so far, I'm on the fence as to whether I want to rewrite or continue so I haven't done any plans, original or rewrite, for this one. It's still in its early enough stages to be salvageable but a rewrite is also possible. If you guys have any input I'll be happy to listen to it. I want you all to know though, that this will be a second priority compared to The Esper and the Fox, mainly because I wrote the other one first, so it's pretty much on a hiatus.

Please note that rewriting does not necessarily mean it will be a hundred times better in my case, it's more so making it more bearable. Whatever happens, the one thing that remains certain is that I'm not dropping these. One way or another, I want these to come to a conclusion because I've experienced, as a reader, the sadness of a dropped fanfiction. I'm afraid it will take a long while for any of this to come to fruition so I apologize again for putting you all through such a long wait. Honestly, just don't forgive me at this point.

I am juggling the possibility of posting the first chapter of the rewritten The Esper and the Fox for you all before putting everyone through the long wait but I don't know.

I'd be very grateful if you'd leave your opinions as well. If you've read this till the end then thank you very much for doing so. Bye!
