Craving You

by iwritetofly

What happens when the person you thought you would never fall for turns out to be the one? Could it be that there is some truth behind the saying opposites attract? Whatever the case, Piper Chapman finds herself at odds when she finds she might have more in common with Alex Vause. After all, they say there's only a thin line between love and hate. Rating changing to M on chapter 8.

Hello,

First off, I would like to apologize if you think this is a story update. In a way it is an update but not about the story-it's more about my absence. I want to begin by saying that I do not lack the creativity (that is to say I do not have writer's block) but at the moment with everything that is going on, not only in my personal life but life in general, I lack the motivation to write. It's hard to sit at my desk and write the images in my head because there are other things that take up that space that I need to write.

One of those things is the virus. I know I speak for everyone when I say that it has completely ruined our livelihoods. Not only that, but I have been retaining stress like crazy during the last couple of years due to my job, my studies, and a toxic relationship I was in. Everything piled up and derailed me from my writing passion. I was stuck in a repetitive cycle which I was unable to break. Mind you, I am stressed up to my head and it has been taking a toll on my physical and mental health.

I wanted to break free from this repetitive cycle. I made a promise to reinvent myself and allow things to happen not because they were meant to happen, but because I wanted them to happen. I conjured a plan to stop my mind from wandering much and just allowing myself to let go of my problems and ultimately my stress. But as you well know, that is impossible. It is not that life has stopped because we are alive, I am alive. But I wanted to experience life more, be more social, make friends, and just enjoy life.

I wish I could write but at the moment I cannot. I also have to focus on school and my job. I am lucky enough to be working from home but even then my company's sales are declining fast. For the time being I consider myself fortunate to have a job.

With all of that being said, I wanted to make a compromise so that this story is completed: I am willing to pass this story onto a writer or reader who is willing to continue with it. I would give this person the entire plot and they can either decide to keep it or change it. Of course, before they publish anything I would like to review the chapter as I would like the story to keep its tone. I would not helicopter the writing but merely revise it.

Alternately, you guys can wait until I have something else but I am not sure how long it will take. I was working on something the other day but halfway through I had to stop because my head was just not in it.

I think in the end it is up to you guys and what you would like me to do. Do I pass this on or do you wait for me?

Please let me know your thoughts in the comments or via PM.

Best wishes and stay safe out there.

Sincerely,
