Work On Hold · 3:55am Aug 10th, 2023
Hey all,
As you may be able to tell from the title and from my lack of posting recently, I have some news. Some of my writings are going to be going on hold. This includes Ashes and Life of a Queen. Death of a Queen: Version 2 is finishing up its editing run and should hopefully start releasing soon.
Now as for why this is happening.
To start, let me give a bit of history on how I ended up writing on this site. I had an idea for an original story I wanted to write and maybe even consider publishing some years down the road. It was going to be an epic fantasy/action adventure with a bit of a romance kick to it. If that sounds familiar, it should. I wasn’t sure how well I’d be able write a story like that, so I decided I wanted to look into some getting a bit of practice first.
This is where the original idea for Death of a Queen was born. I wanted a place where my writing could suck on the first draft, but I could still get some feedback about it. Thus, I had the idea to try my hand at a fanfiction with similar themes. Of course, things got a bit out of control when some people actually became interested in DoaQ. I did not expect that. Which led to me writing that story, working on a sequel, and some other stories while I waited for that to cook.
But I’ve finally decided it’s time to stop stalling. So I’m going back to working on my original story.
A piece called Shadow Kings. (Not great, I know. It’s a working title.)
I know that it definitely won’t be a quick or easy endeavor. Even just making it through the first chapter took a few weeks. But it’s one that I’m actually pretty excited to work on. Here’s to hoping that this ends up working out. Occasionally, I may take breaks to come back and work on some stories here, but for right now, things are going to be out on hold. I will still be around (well, as much as I already am now) to respond to comments and answer any questions that anyone has.
Thank you all for the encouragement you’ve given me over the years I’ve been writing on here.
I hope you all can forgive me for this.
Wish you the best
Good luck m8!
