The next chapter will be delayed · 8:31pm Jan 12th, 2015
Hey guys, just a little heads up.
I recently submitted A Dream of Sunny Days to EQD and it was rejected. While they obviously did not give me the answer I was hoping for, they did supply the reasons as to why it couldn't make the cut. I gave it some thought and looked over older chapters. I do agree with the criticism given. To be honest there was something I didn't like about what I had written so far and I think the prereader who reviewed it pinpointed some of the story's main issues.
I took some time to think about it and talked to a few friends, I think I'll give a shot at reworking the published chapters in order for the story to make the cut. Even if it doesn't, I do think improving it can only be a good thing. I get that some of you are looking forward to future chapters, and I apologize that you might have to wait longer for them. I'll keep updating this blog regularly and let you guys know about my progress.
I also wanna thank all of you who have been reading the story so far. I do hope you understand the choice I'm making here. For those of you who will choose to re-read the chapters as I improve them, I hope you enjoy it. For those of you who want to wait for the newer content, I can definitely understand that and do promise you that I'll do my best to get you new chapters sooner rather then later. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, feel free to reply here, leave a comment on the story or shoot me a pm.
I am also aware that reworking the story is no guarantee it'll get on EQD. Still, I'm a perfectionnist and I should take full advantage of any opportunity I have to improve.
Sorry to hear EqD rejected the story. I for one, think it's way better than most fics they endorse. Can't wait to read the updated chapters though!

They actually had some good arguments for it. Although anything creative will always be subjective, I do admit I have a lot to learn about writing technique, how to write good descriptions, how to make dialogue flow, that kind of stuff. Either way, thanks for the vote of confidence.
