Indefinite Hiatus for "Sometimes the Truth Can Be Deceiving" · 12:24am Apr 18th, 2021
Hello everyone who stumbles upon this! This blog post is for everyone who is tracking my story Sometimes the Truth Can Be Deceiving. I am here to regretfully announce that it will be put on indefinite hiatus until further notice. Let me explain why.
When I started this story, it was literally the first thing I ever tried my hand at writing on this site. I just wanted to tell the story and I dove in at the deep end without consideration for the bigger picture. To make a long story short, the scope of the story was too much for me from the get-go and as such, I've decided to at least notify people about my decision.
I've left a, hopefully, unambiguous warning at the top of the story description about my decision so new people don't get invested in and disappointed by the story. Since I recall reading somewhere that official FiM Fiction rules are that chapters can't be notifications about author decisions and sequels and the like I've decided to make this blog post you are reading now.
Maybe I'll continue the story one day once I get more experience writing on the site but until that time the story will be on hiatus. I went into it telling myself that I wouldn't let it become another rotting corpse of a story left abandoned by its author and I plan to hopefully make good on that promise. And hopefully, I can take what I've learned from this experience and not let any other stories I make fall into the same pit.
If it makes any of you feel any better, I am currently drafting a story involving another OC and the four princesses that has a much smaller scope than Sometimes the Truth Can Be Deceiving and so far it is going well but I'm not sure how much I should pre-write or pre-plan before actually publishing. When I publish I fear that I may become unmotivated again which is another factor that killed Sometimes the Truth Can Be Deceiving so hopefully I can avoid that. Wish me luck!
