So, this is going to be a bitter pill...
As of today, I'm putting an end to A Noble Heart's Desire as we know it. I know already that this must be upsetting to a LOT of people. Especially considering that it's been over a year and a half since my last update. The fact of the matter is, I haven't really been "into" doing this fic for a while. It's a bit of a complicated reasoning but I'd like to explain just why this is.
First and foremost, I should probably explain just where I've been. Well, I've actually started attending college. I have been for a while now and I've been dedicating myself to my schoolwork first and that sadly left me no time to write or I just wouldn't be in the mood to write. When I did, I kept forcing myself to do it because I felt like I absolutely HAD to. The problem is, when I have that kind of attitude about writing anything, it never turns out good. It becomes forced and in the long run, I become unhappy with the end result. This was basically half of ANHD for me. When I started it, I was still trying to complete Love and Dragonstones and THAT fic fell by the wayside to. By the time I finished it and could finally focus on ANHD, I just couldn't muster the motivation to do it. And it isn't like I hadn't tried either. Believe me, I would try to set aside some time to advance the story, but coupled with my lack of any sort of fire to really continue it and my displeasure at where it had gone due to me forcing it, I just couldn't do it anymore.
So that's that. This fic is officially being put to bed... for now.
What I mean by that is that A Noble Heart's Desire in its current form is going away, but it will not be forgotten. I do have a desire to see this couple through to the end since, let's face it, how many Robin x Maribelle fanfics have YOU read, right? So I'm going to end this iteration of the story. I'm going to give myself some time to actually be excited about it again. I want myself to WANT to write it not feel obligated to. It will come back, that I promise. And when it does, I'll make absolutely sure it'll be better.
I just want to apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing this story continue as is. Believe me, I know it sucks to see a fic you like just ending before it's complete. I'd also like to thank everyone for all the support I've gotten with this story over the years. Every review, follow and favorite really means a lot to someone like me. I hope you'll continue to stick around to see what I'll have in store. If not, I totally understand.
So until next time, I hope you enjoyed this story for what it was. When it does come back, I hope you'll enjoy it then too. :)
As always, thank you for reading.
