I've made my decision... sorry everyone

[04/10/2012 08:40:22] Jack Conway: hey, will you be on later on? say in about... 7/8 hours?
[04/10/2012 08:42:09] Jack Conway: hello?
[04/10/2012 08:43:00] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: sorry XD
[04/10/2012 08:43:04 | Edited 08:42:42] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: and probably not
[04/10/2012 08:43:28] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: gotta go to sleep soon and then I'll be at school for the rest of Thursday
[04/10/2012 08:43:41] Jack Conway: aw, its just a wanted to talk to you about something, but i don't really have time at the moment. i'm heading off to school now
[04/10/2012 08:43:48] Jack Conway: its not urgent though, it can wait
[04/10/2012 08:46:32] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: I have time though :/
[04/10/2012 08:46:37] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: quick, what is it?
[04/10/2012 08:46:39] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: Tell me
[04/10/2012 08:46:57] Jack Conway: i was just looking for advice on something, but i really need to get going
[04/10/2012 08:47:16] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: WELL
[04/10/2012 08:47:17] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: ASK ME NOW
[04/10/2012 08:47:29] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: It shouldn't take you long :I
[04/10/2012 08:47:41] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: I'm sure you can spare like 3 more minutes
[04/10/2012 08:48:27] Jack Conway: alright, calm down. basically, if you remember an old blog post i did, i was looking for advice on whether once I finished Corrupted, should I do the rewrite of chapter 1 first, or head into my next story
[04/10/2012 08:48:48] Jack Conway: you were the only person who replied, and you said it would probably be best if i did the rewrite first
[04/10/2012 08:48:55] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: I think you should finish Corrupted
[04/10/2012 08:48:56] Jack Conway: that was what i was going to do
[04/10/2012 08:49:06] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: then I agree with you XD
[04/10/2012 08:49:17] Jack Conway: but its just that I can't help but think that I've kept people waiting too long for something new
[04/10/2012 08:49:24] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: and sorry, I'm just trying to help you out quick so you could head off
[04/10/2012 08:49:33] Jack Conway: nah its fine
[04/10/2012 08:49:39] Jack Conway: i actually do have a little bit of time
[04/10/2012 08:49:44] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: nah, you gotta remember it's about what it's important to YOU
[04/10/2012 08:49:45] Jack Conway: only a little though
[04/10/2012 08:49:47] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: never the audience
[04/10/2012 08:50:01] Jack Conway: that is true...
[04/10/2012 08:50:08] Jack Conway: gawd, i don't know what to do
[04/10/2012 08:50:18] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: well then just give it some thought
[04/10/2012 08:50:30] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: whatever interests you the most is what you should do for the moment
[04/10/2012 08:50:39] Jack Conway: i actually got responses because I did another blog post about it, but now i'm just even more confused on what i should do
[04/10/2012 08:50:44] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: you could always come back to your later ideas
[04/10/2012 08:51:12] Jack Conway: yeah... i don't know, i need to sit down and think about this
[04/10/2012 08:51:27] EXOLIEF/Kyle Long: s'alright. You'll be fine :)

So, that right there is part of a conversation I had a few days ago on skype with the person who will (most likely, but not definitely) be doing some editing/proof-reading for my next story. (Yay, it's EXOLIEF!). As much as I hate to admit it, and as much as I'd love to go straight into the next story, this is something I need to do. I'm happy with all the chapters of Corrupted except chapter 1, and if I can't be happy with my own work, something's clearly wrong. I'm really sorry, and I know that you guys would rather I move on to the next story, but selfish as this may sound, this is something I need to do for myself. I won't allow myself to progress while leaving behind what I believe to be something I didn't put 100% effort into.

I'm gonna be busy this weekend and throughout the following weekdays, but the weekend after that, if all goes to plan, I should be mostly free. Don't want to make any promises (because I'll most likely unintentionally break them), but I'd be aiming to release that rewrite on Sunday next week.

Anyway, I can't apologise enough for having to make you guys wait, but this really is something I need to do. Thanks for your patience, which frankly, I really don't deserve.
