A/N: PLEASE READ, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
As many of you already know, I have been having a really hard time writing this story. Because I started it three years ago, when I was currently obsessed with SasuNaru, I thought it would've been a good idea. Unfortunately, it has been three years after all and that's enough time to grow out of it, kinda? I started out writing this story with so much hope and happiness and I received a well enough response to it, so I thought I would continue on with it.
The thing is, though, that lately, I've been forcing myself to write. I feel like my work is stunted and boring and something just isn't clicking between the story and I anymore. I did have plans for this story – still kinda do, if I have to be honest – but I'm just not focused on those plans anymore.
The feedback I get for each chapter has dwindled to almost nothing; I feel like I am writing this for no one and for no reason. I'm not one of those writers who can just write for herself, I need positive feedback or else I feel like this is all for nothing. Why continue writing a story that I've lost all desire in writing? Nobody seems to be reading anyway. Or, nobody seems to care enough to let me know that they still are.
Also, I have started a new Hannigram story on my AO3 account. I started it 4 days ago and so far, have 3 chapters. For the first time in a long time, I feel excited to write. I'm HAPPY to write. I've gotten so many comments and kudos and that lets me know that people are reading my story and taking the time to let me know that they are and that they like what they see. It gives me motivation to write.
So, for these reasons, I will not be focused on writing this story anymore. Instead, I will be focusing on my new story. I will not declare this an official hiatus, because I think that maybe every now and then I'll still post chapters up, but these updates will be few in between.
This isn't an announcement to make any of you feel guilty and I do not want you to think that this is a form of whining and begging for more reviews. This is my way of letting you guys know what I have been dealing with in regards to this story because I think you guys deserve the unfiltered truth.
Thank you all to those who supported me in the beginning and for those who continued to do. I apologize for this inconvenience and for any disappointment this may bring.
