A Note from the Author
From Arlando
There have been a lot of questions, rumors and such flying around. My e-mail has been flooded with the same numerous questions: "Are you going to finish 'Beyond the Foxes Eyes' and 'The Vixen Princess" as well as "Why haven't you updated in such a long time?" And there's my favorite, "Do you have writer's block?"
Allow me to take time to answer these questions as well as fill you in on what's been going on around here.
First of all, I don't have writer's block. I already know everything about my stories (except how they end of course), and I already know how I'm going to climb to the ending. So the answer to the last question is no, I don't have writer's block. I haven't had writer's block in a long time when it concerns my fan fictions.
Now for the other two questions. Why haven't I updated in such a long time? I just haven't had the time to write! I've been busy (mostly arriving home from school around midnight or so). I've been crammed with homework and editing jobs for my yearbook. Mostly though, I'm trying to graduate and get out of high-school.
But now the question really is, do I WANT to update? I've lately taken a liking to my creative writing class at school. I realized that I don't really want to do fan fiction stories anymore. So at this point in time I myself don't even know if I'm going to finish. And if I do, it'll be clear into second quarter of 2005 before they're actually done.
This isn't meant to discourage people in anyway whatsoever. I know a lot of you have been waiting very patiently. But the truth is I don't know if I'm going to finish these stories. I thought I'd let you all know. There's a possibility I might continue. But as I said, you'd have to be willing to wait a little longer. Whether or not you choose to stay that long is up to you. I'm always striving to entertain a reader with my stories but I'd first want it to come out the way I want it to. So bear with me. If I finish, it'll be seven or so months from now. If I haven't updated by July 2005 then you can naturally assume I left the fics to die in the dust.
I love writing the fics, I really do. But at the moment I'm swamped. It's surprising I've found time to write this note to you all. I already get little sleep as it is; I'd hate to present you all with something horrible because I was too drowsy to realize what the hell it was I was writing. Give me a couple more months and I'll get the train moving again.
Truly Yours,
Arlando
