Hi there,
I apologize greatly to all the fans that I've gained over these past few months and also to those who were loyal enough to follow my story. I can't believe it's success and honestly am very appreciative.
In plain words, life sucks. And I can't maintain a long term story with the stresses of daily life. I have many many many previous engagements, and also a family that is quite dysfunctional to the point where I can hardly focus on these small things like story writing, despite it being one of my greatest passions.
Also, I am quite the victim to my insecurities and I've lost motivation to write "Human Shape" simply because I think it's horrible--lacking character development, a juvenile story...all catering to a young teenagers lust and need for idealistic love.
Throughout the months I have not been writing this story, I've gotten a boyfriend and have broken up with him-- my first relationship (though hardly anything serious). And I've learned much from this relationship. I believe that the story that I've written only exacerbates certain ideals of a relationship... And I don't know. I'd rather not portray that through my characters? I realize that this story is something I did on a whim, but for the amount of time I spent on it... I feel like my first "child" is a failure.
I may return to this story during the summer, on the nights when I have nothing else to do. So, I wouldn't lose hope in it. But I don't want to be tied down to a story-- I don't want to write something out of obligation. It makes it a chore and will lead to an even crappier story.
So, I thank you all for the support and wonderful comments. You've all really made this story writing a worthwhile experience, albeit a rather sad one when it comes to the sentiments I'm currently expressing. Thank you again.
