Dear Readers,

Look, I know that I haven't updated any of my stories in a long time, but I just wanted you to know that it's not going to last forever. I'm not going to use any excuses for my lack of writing, but I will say that I have extreme writers block right now. I have plans for all of my stories so I don't wish to hand them over to anyone.

It's hard to explain, but it's like I know the ending of all my stories but it's getting really difficult to get from point A to point B without leaving any plot-holes or unsatisfying parts mixed in. Not to mention I've been re-reading my material and I would like to edited in before I move on any further.

Also, I've been working on these stories for such a long time that I would like to move on to something new. Nothing big, just a couple of short stories to get the creative juices flowing. I WILL be working on my main stories so do not panic!

One more thing . . . .I put these fanfics up as a way to get critical feedback about my writing in general. I don't seem to get a lot of it and it tends to leave me disappointed. Some encouragement does help to an extent but not really in a way that leaves me feeling I got better at writing. Also, flames are fine as long as they have reasons attached to them.

Seriously, what is the point of telling someone you don't like their story and not letting them know specifically what you didn't like about it?

All in all, I will be updating, do not worry, just please stop pestering me about getting it done because that does nothing for my motivation. If anything it slows me down.

Sincerely,

Riku
