As a part of every writers life, there is a time that sometimes we can not finish a trend that we started. You all have been the start of something that was once grand, and something that unfortunately I can not continue with.
A lot of you ask me when I will update "Gone", and I tell you that I have tried.. Tried numerous times, even after I thought I was going to give up. I guess it isn't called giving up, but it is simply that I am growing up. As Big Time Rush is moving on to bigger and maybe even better things(Carlexa married, who knew?), I was already transitioning into that.
Last year I got an idea, an idea that I was afraid to through out to you guys, because it involved something I had never done.
So I created a pen name, back then it was Elsie_Laufeyson, today it is known as @Lorki_Laufeyson. Ever since the Avengers, since I have seen the movie, I tried to make The Stranded Saga apart of that world, and I corrupted the beauty behind the whole line. In February of last year, the idea for a new story came to me, an idea I like to call "The Elsie Project". I wouldn't consider the idea a mistake, given I had started it while I was knee deep into "The Stranded Saga", but a blessing instead. I made some friends, who are now like sisters to me. I found an area of writing where I seem to strive in, seem to do extremely well in. More importantly, I found myself.
That series on that other account is a finalist in the Watty Awards now, and Stranded never was. Does it mean that I regret, or even hate Stranded? No. It means that simply it wasn't my best area of writing, and noting by the other three books, I was meant to write a different style book entirely.
So does this mean I will be ending this chapter, or this account? No. It means I will be looking into growing into some personal, fictions of my own. I hope you guys all understand.
Thank you all for your support these past two years!
Love you all,
