Hi!
Sorry to disappoint everyone but this is not a new chapter, this is just an Author's Note.
For a long time since I started my third year in college (mid 2004), my writing updates started to decline big time. It took me 6 months just to update a story. Looking at my stories, I saw that my first multi-chaptered story "Rainy Days symbolize what" was only finished by me for within 14 months. Yet, its sequel not only came a year later but also up till now, for over 2 years, I'm still not yet finished writing it.
Looking back, especially for this story, makes me want to have the passion to write again. I have to admit that during the time I started here in FFN, I was taking Literature as my college major. But I shifted to Communication Arts the next school year. That course made me find another passion, this time for film making. That's the reason why I'm no longer writing that much.
For this particular story, if you will read all the reviews, you'll know that I really got flamed very hard. When I read sniper957's comments, I feel hurt again. But I realize that it is true that you can't please everyone. I do not blame him if he doesn't like my story just as he could not blame me for reacting the way I did when he send me those comments. But I did take his words for consideration, not all of it though. Cause in a way, what he said maybe embarrassing, he just pointed out my areas of improvement.
I would also like to take this time to thank those who encouraged me with good reviews for this particular story. They are JadesRose and Jen. I also would like to say my appreciation to other reviewers who did leave a friendly criticism on my story. They are Anne, Cat and Tsuki. I would like to extend extra thanks to JadesRose and Jen for defending me. Though I think I could handle it alone, you put extra effort not only defending me but pointing out good and bad side of this story without embarrassing me. I now this thanks is a bit too late but I really am glad and I really appreciate what you two did. Again thanks.
Lastly, I maybe slow but I promise to finish my stories. I am actually too annoyed to those who leave their stories hanging. But who am I to judge when I'm slow writer myself right?
Thanks for the time and space.
