To Whom It May Concern (which is pretty much everyone reading this):
A very solemn and forlorn 'Hello' to you all. The reason I am writing this is to deliver some very unfortunate news concerning my story, Convictions. You see, like I had said, the reason I ended chapter 9 where I did is because I was going to be away from my computer for some time and I thought you all had waited long enough for an update. So I put up the partly finished appetizer and hoped to give you something more substantially satisfying soon. This obviously has not happened and that is because it was a very bad decision to put up an incomplete product.
The way I ended chapter 9 completely killed any momentum or flow the story had had previously, and so chapter 10 remains unfinished and, indeed, without a beginning. I cannot, for the life of me, think of a good way to start it. This is coming from a story that has already been giving me quite a lot of trouble. I started this in March and it has taken me five months to get what little I have done. I see this as unacceptable. It should not be taking this long and should not be this hard, but it has and it is.
It is for the two aforementioned reasons that I have decided to put this story on hiatus. I start school tomorrow and I just don't think I will have the time or energy that this story requires. Don't worry; this is not a 'good bye', but rather a 'hasta la vista (baby)'. I will return and finish this at some point, just not any time in the foreseeable future.
Also, please do not send me messages asking me to keep writing. I have thought long and hard about this (obviously) and I have made my decision. I only hope you all can respect that. And besides, if I read too many of your pleading messages I might just cry.
Very Humbly Yours:
Outis aka nobody
p.s. If it's any consolation I will not be taking a break from writing all together. There just so happens to be a few Sonic The Hedgehog stories I've been wanting to write, so if your at all interested in that then I encourage you to keep a look out for those.
