Why I Will Break The Silence is not on hiatus and will continue not to be so.

wow ive been gone a long time huh? Sorry about that everypony but I've decided at long last to come back and provide you with a new chapter as soon as possible. Its been a rough several months truth be told, I've lost friends and held on tight to those I have left and I find myself constantly busy. There have even been times that I have thought about leaving the community or even the fandom but I've decided instead to come back and renew my efforts. This has been a challenging time for a lot of us I think, it seems to me that the fandom has only come under further scrutiny and worse I'm sure all of you know about the toon critic incident. It hit me particularly hard because it struck a cord with me and recent events in my life (Betrayal by a trusted friend.) But now is not the time to be sad rather instead I'm here because of you guys and gals. I haven't stopped writing but I have begun a new project one that I'm increasingly passionate about. Its my first attempt at a right proper novel or rather one that I intend to publish professionally but today I was mowing the lawn and listening to one of my playlists and I had a thought that shamed me. The strength and confidence I have to do this massive undertaking is all thanks to you. Your love of my work and constant support have given me enough courage to pursue my dream of being a writer in earnest. Yet, after all you have done for me I've left you waiting and praying that this story will get updated soon to no avail. I wont lie, their have been times over the past few months that I have considered giving up on IWBTS or at the very least passing the project onto someone else but Ive decided I cant do that. I'm not just writing for myself I'm writing for my readers who have built me into what I am as an author. IWBTS will be continued and as soon as I can because I owe it not just to myself to see it through but also to all of you.

Signing off but not for long,
