I have other things going on in my life, and I have another story that needs my undivided attention. And I really want to complete it before I begin to write another chapter of Not Everything Is What It Seems. But don't worry, I DO plan to eventually re-write everything, have steady updates and finish the book. And when I do, the dialogue and narration is going to change a bit, but the story line is going to stay the same. Other than that, I just want to say thanks for giving my story a shot and have a wonderful day.
