As much as I would have liked to finish this story, the inspiration I had has abandoned me. Maybe one day I'll take back up the pen and properly finish this romantic ballad. But for now, I'm forced to focus my creativity into other sources. For those who enjoyed the story, I apologize. I had every intention of continuing, but I have none of the passion left in my soul that is required to be poured into poweful literature.
As for my small group of followers, I owe a small debt of gratitude and inspiration to you as well. Knowing that you appreciated this story inspires me to write more, but my heart will not allow this story to continue without the proper fire in my bones. In this past year I have nearly fallen to poor health and circumstance. I've been weakened to a scientifically irreparable state. I am slowly regaining the strength I once had, but I am currently still weak and in pain.
In the meantime, I've started pondering story ideas. Nothing yet concrete, but I plan on starting something New when I find the proper inspiration. I wait for the inspiration because I believe the best stories are written out of raw emotion and the deepest feelings in the soul.
Upon request, I may publish some of the 13 completed and unfinished drafts. In some cases the story is changed, in some cases the story takes a different path or even continues the story.
The main reason these drafts simply remain drafts, are because I felt they were not good enough to join on as part of my story. I am critical of my work and only provide what I consider my best or what only falls slightly short of my best.
I don't want to draw this out too long, so I'll leave you with this: when life gives you lemons, plant the seeds and allow God to bless you as He sees fit. God bless, and stay strong.
And last but not least:
"Never forget..."
