Known Gods: Production Break · 12:40am Feb 12th, 2015
Production break? I suppose that's a kind way of putting it.
I've put a lot of work into deciding which direction I want to take it in and ended up stuck. Call it a writers block if you will.
Although not even that is the full reason. Mainly I've been discouraged by it's low viewership. So in sense I suppose this begs the reason as to why I wrote the story. Mainly I was hoping for it to do splendidly, which is everyone's dream. But I felt as though It wasn't up to the standards that I expected from it.
After rereading it I felt it needed quite a bit if work so I suppose its low viewership was my own fault. I also rushed it out before it was even ready, posting way too many chapters way to quickly.
I'm not stopping it, per se, I'm just unsure as to when I'll be confident or even motivated enough to work on it again. I'm not truly in the best state of mind (I won't get into the gory details) and my inability to get it going isn't helping the situation.
That being said. I've decided to focus on a new story with a more manageable plot with better flow. This story (I hope) will be more popularized. I've planned it better and I've worked out the plot from beginning to end. I daresay that Known Gods was a learning curve. An opportunity to understand the minutia of this site and cater to the desires of its audience.
To all those who loved and enjoyed my story I sincerely appreciate your support and feedback. This is not a goodbye, merely an extended break.

2789062 Of course you're right. And maybe that was my initial intention. Perhaps I simply lost the excitement of it. perhaps I simply lost sight of why I even wrote it. The folly was mine. I can't really take back how its made me feel about it.
2789081 Hey, you do your best and you learn from any mistakes, right?
Thats a shame. Have you tried giving your story to a review group it may help with some publicity.
2789062 I guess we shall see
2789107 Indeed.
2789104 I do have a proof reader that has been quite meticulous in his efforts to check grammar and flow. However, I think the best remedy is a break for now. I lack the motivation at the present moment.
Don't make me drive down to Durban!
I joke.
I ran into a similar block with my own story, and you know how that ended...
