Hello there, whoever and wherever you are. I'm sorry that i have to tell you this, but as it stands I am putting Imago on an indefinite hold for the foreseeable future. I do not do this to seek attention, not to amass sympathy, but i feel i owe you an explanation.
Though it is egotistical of me to assume that you are fans of my work, i like to think that you have enjoyed what i have created. Unfortunately, it would seem you are the only ones that do. Every attempt I have tried to make in trying to take writing to a higher level have been rejected or ignored, be it by writing groups or my own English tutors. I know that this is not an adequate reason for giving up, but these are my reasons. Not only has my confidence been shattered, but i have failed to write anything for recreation, viewing what was once an enjoyed hobby as a burden. I have also been struggling though my higher studies, and having my writing projects waiting for me to give them the attention they would never receive was weighing on my heart, if you'll excuse the dramatic metaphor. My personal life has also become very strained recently as well, and i need to take some time to figure out where i stand with certain people, and what i actually intend to do in life. I suppose i'm having an identity crisis, and im sorry to go all teen angst on you guys but this is something i cant have on my mind.
Please know that every comment i received meant the world to me, and every suggestion that was made to enhance my story was taken into deep consideration: i would not dare insult anyone by rejecting any creative input. To everyone that helped, praised or even talked to me, i thank you sincerely.
I also hesitate in simply telling you what i had planned for the story. Mostly because alot of it was made up on the spot (which makes me feel so fraudulent in admitting so) but i still maintain hope that i will find my way back to writing. As i have found out recently, hope can be painful but it can also withstand time and tribulation. This may seem dramatic to you, but please don't judge me for being silly as this meant alot to me. Letting it go is hard.
Farewell
