Greetings, this is The Wandering Hippie. Speaking after the great 1 ½ years of silence, upon my 5 year anniversary of starting my writing career.
I am sorry. I cannot say this enough, I am sorry. Not just for being unable to write but not keeping you all in the loop. Allow me to explain.
Last year in April I published the next chapter of this story but it was met with harsh criticism. I was willing to let it just 'be bad' so I could move on to the next chapters which I was looking forward to, but a certain RJWritingInc (check out his work, it is awesome) said this next part needed to be good so, looking up to this person, I took it down with plans to rewrite it and repost it because he was right. Well the days turned into weeks, the weeks turned into months and the months turned into over a year… you kind of get the point.
I was hoping to push off updating until I had something to report, even as an 'intermission', but, for a long myriad of reasons that mostly don't matter anymore, I put it off and 'forgot' about it. When I did remember… well I was a coward. I was scared of giving this very speech that I'm giving now to you all. And for that I do deeply apologize. In particular to you RJWritingInc. One of the reasons I hesitated on coming back was because of you. You're… a better writer then I am and I felt inadequate. Not your fault mind you, my fault; and I would like to apologize to you specifically. Another reason why I did not publish was because I felt a little ashamed of this story. Trying to reread it to get back in the spirit of it a cringe at many things I wrote and know now I could have written it better. Another reason is there are other stories I want to tell, but I wanted to finish this story first and in the process hit major roadblocks.
But those reasons don't matter anymore. I don't know why I suddenly have my strength return to me but I will not question it. By the end of the month of July, I will post a new chapter. Here's the thing though, it might not be 'Star the Monster Princess'. From now on I will write as my whim dictates me because if I focus on only this story I may not write anything at all. I will be rewriting my other story 'The Loud KND vs Zombies' and starting a new series 'The High King of the White Isles' an altered version of 'The Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons' fandom.
Again, I am so so sorry for what has happened for so long. I failed all of you and myself because of my doubt and cowardice. I hope you can all forgive me. I understand if you deem this story to be 'dead', it is not but I understand. I shall see you soon everyone.
