Um…I can explain. Really
Okay so I guess I really can't explain. There's not a very good excuse for why I haven't updated this story in almost a year.
I don't really know if I can call it writers block because I know what I want to happen but I can't get it to come out how I like. But maybe that still counts, I don't know.
The sad truth is that I don't care about this story as much as I used to. See, when I re-read it I cringe. My personal opinion is that my writing has come a long way since then, so now Lily's diary doesn't sound that good to me when I read it.
Then there's the plot. Like I said I know what I want to happen but at the same time I've got no idea where I want to go after I finish it. I was only 13 when I started writing this story and I wasn't too familiar with outlining yet. And even know I'm still not sure my idea for the direction of the story is that good.
And the OC's…*shudders* since writing this story I've begun disliking them being main characters. They're okay as, like, side characters and such but in stories like mine where they're all over the place it's just…ugh I can't explain it. Just know that I don't like them and I don't like the ones in my story.
For a long time I've had no desire to write for Lily's diary. I've wanted to, but only for the people that liked it. It's sorta become a chore writing in it, and I do not want to continue writing if it's just becoming a chore.
To be honest I think the story had become more of an excuse for me to write about the relationships in the Black family. (You'll notice a lot of references to them.) Now I've been working on other stories concerning them so I don't even have that motivation to keep updating the story.
Rather sad isn't it? :(
But this isn't a story execution note.
I'm willing to keep updating if I find out people still want me to. I will, however, probably be editing the chapters extensively. Fixing stuff you know?
I want to know if you guys like the OC's, or if I should change them to more canon names like Alice (Neville's mom) and Marlene McKinnon, some of those people.
There's also another possibility. I noticed I could always end the story at chapter six, right after the kiss. Do you think that would be a good ending point?
Look people, I really don't want to put this on permanent hiatus but it might happen. There's still some fondness in my heart for the story. It used to be my most popular one too, before my Shakespeare story anyway.
So please post a review and tell me what you think. Please!
Love Nicole.
