I live and I struggle with the writing demons ( @imkeaha ). I have about 200 pages completed, but the order and the clarity is not there. Sections not completed, Unlike other times in my life I am driven, squirreling away hours of the day (after work) to complete this task. The passion is strong and I am bound to the work and lost in its reflection. I want to make a difference, I think about it all the time, and each day I am closer.

Athellion!! So I was just stalking your book to make sure that all my votes registered since I'd read it offline and I noticed you ha net put up an author's note!! whyyyyy? an authors note is imperative to people / your readers getting connected with an author at a higher level. also, some sort of closure would be great. so why don't you put up an authors note? that would end the book with something personal too. (:

You changed the name and cover. I like it. It suits your book well. Saw that you submitted your story for the Featured list. That's wonderful, too. I have read it can take up to 6 months to get on depending on the genre so hang in there if it takes awhile. So excited for you. It is an awesome story. Still hoping to see that Personality Test some day : ) *hint, hint*

@Ruechari , This will be my last update for the story. It is an involving process, and working in a community environment allows the opportunity to get feed back and support. As you can tell by the number of updates and revisions of the cover. Six months is not a long time, I can wait. I have been working on the personality test, it is more complex than I originally thought. Have to do some more research as well. You have inspired me to finish that job and I will. Besides I need to determine what type of superhero you are (or supervillian) if I am planning to take over the ... um, almost said to much there.

Athellion!!!!! I finished reading the ultimate love card book as I'd like to call it, and I loved it. I believe what you need is a catchier cover and you'll be all set to rock. also, woah are the chapters long! but that's cool. so I appreciate these small things that differenciate your book from the rest – like how you didn't use looks to portray feelings and how much detailed thought there was into the plot.. like you really love the number 120 don't you xD 120 flights of stairs, 120 floors, 120 questions. :D so i hope your book does really well and I'm looking forward to seeing you in my notifs :'D I appreciate you reading, and being active with my work, and am thankful for that :) be sure to check out personal dilemma and karla ford too! also, I hope you're writing something more. I would love to read something by you.

@thelostsoulsretreat Thanks for you advice and help. I have changed the story name (based on your suggestion) and updated the cover art. I have also submitted the story as a featured story on WattPad.

I really need to LEARN how to dump a guy because it has long since {about twenty failed rejections later} dawned upon me that I suck at what I do very often. so yes, your profile is rad and that is one of the many reasons why i.... AM FOLLOWING YOU ! lol I look forward to reading your book. :D

@thelostsoulsretreat I am not offended at all. I think if you aim to "turn down someone in such a way that leaves both of us satisfied" you are doing so admirably. "it hurts just as much rejecting someone as it does being rejected." Well said.

***
The awkward silence.
Without fanfare published,
Silently unread,
Pages not open,
Words never read.
Quiet reflects.
Is it better to be?
Deep insights glare,
Echoing ruminations,
Doubt breeds.
Resounding pause.
Deep breathe taken,
Concept applied,
Foundations tested,
Ideas unappreciated.
Unspoken motivations surface.
Desire and hopes,
Goals and dreams,
Investment not returned,
Inner self revealed.
Noiseless vacuum.
Gravity increases,
Momentum decreases,
Pen getting heavier,
The flow is less.
Soundless writing.
Infinite ideas,
direction uncertain,
A step fumbled,
The writers dread.

@Athellion Wonderful poem. You are an amazing writer. I can't say a story I've read that I've enjoyed more. I was sad to see it end. Don't let the lack of fanfare distress you. Your story deserves it you've written from the heart, and that's what truly matters, the rest will come with time : )
