After much consideration, I have decided to put The Shadow of San Francisco on hiatus. As a writer, I feel that I am not yet capable enough to continue with this project. I believe that taking a break from it will allow me to improve my writing skills and develop my abilities. During this hiatus, I plan to focus on honing my craft by reading and practicing writing in various styles and genres. I am confident that with time and effort, I will be able to return to this project with a renewed sense of creativity and skill.
