A difficult decision

Hey guys, Bronco again. I never really thought I'd have to make this post, but life likes throwing cruve balls at you. As much as I hate to say it, I'm going to be putting When Only A Feather Of Hope Remains on hiatus for a yet undetermined amount of time. I want to say this now, I am not canceling the story, but this is something I personally have to do. Now anyone who has read my latest side chapter of Guild might have read my author's note for that chapter, where I detailed the heart breaking loss I recently had of one of my closest friends. After writing, editing, and then reading through this chapter more than once where so many of the feelings and even phrases I heard, said, or felt, get put on display, I found myself in a mental dead zone. I am being honest when I say the chapter was hard to complete, time taken to write it or no. Since the day of it's upload I have been doing a lot of thinking about the loss of my friend, and the mental state I now find myself in when it comes to writing. After some serious thinking, I've come to realize that at the moment I just do not feel comfortable writing about death or severe injury at the moment, and since that is the core purpose of WOAFOHR, I feel I'm doing the best thing I can. If I left no uploads to the story and continued my work on Guild and even Asphalt Cowboys, as I plan to do, I know many of the fans of WOAFOHR would wonder if I had just given up on the story. I would like to make it clear once again that I haven't, but I just can't force myself to write anything for the seventh chapter right now. So, I'm putting it in hiatus. I do not know when it's going to receive it's next chapter, so I'm just asking you guys to be patient with me as I still try to work out the loss of a friend, who didn't even live to be old enough to drive his dream car that he was in the process of rebuilding. So to finish, chapters and stories will still be getting written, but for right now, I'm taking an extended break for When oOnly A Feather Of Hope Remains. Thank you guys for sticking with me through my lack luster upload rate, and I hope you will stick with me now as I take the time to collect myself. I hope you guys have a good day, please stay safe out in the world, and I'll see you guys another day. Mason, out.
