Ugh! Why do authors abandon their stories with no warning and no notice? It makes me worry, are they sick, did they die, were they kidnapped by rebel forces? I started a completed story today that I was really enjoying. The author was young but gifted and I was completely into it when (bam!) it has no conclusion. Then I look and she continued it on a second novel... Oh well that's different but ok! I moved on to the second book which was literally the next chapter from the first book that ended just as the conflict was introduced. Only it's been abandoned 8 chapters in 2 years ago with no update or notice from the author. Now this made me wonder did something happen to said author? Nope she continued introducing other stories just didn't finish this one. Well she didn't finish any of them apparently as I looked and most stopped after a few chapters like she got an idea and started but didn't understand how to finish any of them. Sorry for the rant it's been happening a lot lately.
Most of my authors know I love binge reading and waiting for updates is torture for me. However I am involved in a story I will wait. I really appreciate my authors that update regularly or let us know if they have something happening when they can. Reading "your" stories makes me feel very close to the authors like seeing a part of your soul and I do worry with all that is going on in the world right now.
So thank you for writing, thank you for entertaining this bored old woman with too much time on her hands.
Until we meet again in the chapters of your novels...
