A painful decision · 2:33am Feb 21st, 2016
First off, my apologies for going silent the past two weeks. I could lie and say that I have a good reason for it, but the truth is that... well, I didn't want to.
Why didn't I want to? Well, the primary reason I've been doing these updates is to let you guys know the progress on Spectrum. But... well, there hasn't been any. Truth be told, I've barely written anything for the past few weeks. Not for lack of trying, I assure you - I've got an alarm on my phone and everything, telling me every day to sit down and write Spectrum. And I don't know why, but every time that alarm comes up... well, I ignore it. Sometimes I'll try to sit down and write, but I'll barely manage anything. Sometimes I'll be lucky and get a full page. But most of the time, if I write anything, I'll only manage a sentence or two at most.
Now, before anyone starts to worry: I'm not cancelling Spectrum. I was a reader before a writer, and I've been on the receiving end of canceled stories before. I'm not gonna do that to you. Besides, I'm in too deep now. Don't be fooled, I'm still passionate about Spectrum. But I'm torn. I so, so desperately want to write this story, to tell you everything about Canvas' adventure. But whatever the reason, I can't bring myself to do it. Maybe it's my schoolwork. Maybe it's pressure to do this story right. Maybe it's because (to be candid) I don't have a clear idea of where I want the story to go from here on out. I've got a couple of story moments fleshed out, but the parts in between? I don't have a clue.
So why am I saying all this anyways? Firstly, it's cause I feel bad. I went dark for no reason, and have been leading you to believe I'm furiously working on something when I've barely done anything. For that, I am sorry.
Second... I think I'm going to put my story on hold for a bit.
Not forever, mind you. Like I said, I've been on the reader's end of stories that have been canceled or otherwise put on indefinite hiatus. I refuse to do that. But as for how long, I'm not sure. A couple months, at least - once the school year is done, I'm hoping I'll be in a much better spot to write this thing. Might be able to bring my passion back, you know?
So... yeah. That's all I've got to say.
Sorry to do this to you all.
With any luck... well, I'll see you again in a few months.
Understood. Take your time.
For how long more or less will the story be on hiatus??
3860638 Honestly, I'm not sure. It'll be at least another month - that's when school gets out for me. Beyond that... well, I guess for however long it takes me to write the next chapter.
