Hello to my readers and followers of A Change of Heart, and A Veil of Flames. This unfortunately, is not the next chapter you may have been looking forward to. This is an update with bad news.

First, yes. The chapters have been coming along slowly. And they're gonna come even slower now, if at all. I'm not going to go into any details, but let's just say that there's gonna be less time to write, and less motivation to write. I once read a quote that said writing was about discipline, not motivation. And while I don't disagree, I know that if I force myself to write, you will be reading chapters that are hastily written, and poorly written. And in my own opinion of my own work, shameful chapters that would ruin everything that I've already created.

As of this writing there are 327 of you following these stories.

327. Sure there's some overlap there. But still, it's an unbelievable number. To think that there were that many people who felt that my story was worthy of their time? That absolutely blows my mind. I usually don't go into anything personal on the internet, but I don't care anymore. As a guy who started writing just three years ago. As a guy who really had nothing to look forward to, and no goals in sight, your reviews, praise, and even criticisms have brought me a feeling of acknowledgement that I haven't gotten in a long time.

So I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I let you down, I'm sorry that I brought you along for a two-year journey, and now, the car has stalled by the side of the road, and everyone has to get off. Terrible analogy, I know. But the point is still there. And as much as I want to put a timetable on this, I'm terrible when it comes to promises in Author's Notes. So I don't know how long it will be.

So, to put it in summary. I'd like to give my most sincere apology to all of you. I would list all of your names here, but I'll respect your anonymity.

I don't know how many times I can say this to show how serious I am. So I'll say it one more time.

I'm sorry

And finally, two or three times I've said this: getting an email saying that there was a new favorite, follow, or review was the one thing that I always looked forward to. It may sound sad or pathetic, but now that I think about it, it was the only thing that I looked forward to. Writing for your entertainment brought me an enjoyment that nothing else ever will.

So thank you for how long you've stuck with me through it all.

Thank you for joining me kind strangers, thank you for another great journey. Let's hope that we can finish them someday.

Until then,
