Alright, so an update on what's going on with Sulfur & Tealights: I didn't update when I said I would because I became busy planning for a big trip that is quickly approaching, and also because I needed a break from working on it. I started the story impulsively on a few quick ideas, but had no idea how to end it, which is likely clear to anyone who had the patience to read the entire train wreck. I know I was adamant about finishing it as it is, but after some thought I don't think it's worth my time anymore. I do still want to rewrite it eventually, but I think, first, I need to work on my style a bit and how I organize my chapters, as well as what I'm comfortable writing about. S&T touched on some pretty heavy topics with Carl, and so did Mind, Have Mercy. I tend to enjoy angst when reading and writing - that is not likely to change - but I need to work on writing lighter topics. Also, as is evident by the tags for S&T, I meant to push myself to write smut and I failed horribly (I apologize to anyone who found S&T through #sexualtension and was subsequently disappointed). I want to practice writing about things I've not written before, or branch out, so to speak. I also need to practice pacing and plot structure, and for a while now I've considered getting used to shorter stories.
          	
          	All that said, I won't update Sulfur & Tealights anymore, and it will be a bit before I redo it.  However, I may post other stuff. I can't guarantee a set schedule, since I'll be visiting out-of-state friends very soon and almost immediately after I return, a new semester will begin, but I do mean to continue writing.
          	
          	To everyone who read any of S&T and MHM, thank you. I hope I'm not disappointing anyone by giving up the former, and I doubt I am. Neither live up to my standards, and while I can't promise better craftsmanship, I will try to improve so I can provide it.

I'll need to update S&T later this week (hopefully Wednesday) because this last week I recovered (hopefully) from sickness and sleep deprivation. Unfortunately, that meant a lot of time spent in bed resting or unable to focus on what words to put down. I'm sorry for any bother this may cause.

@RAThomas1988  Dude, thank you! I know this is a REALLY late reply because I haven't been on Wattpad for about a week, but I wanted to let you know I appreciate your concern.

You can’t write if your ill. Rest comes first always.

"Confrontation" is up a bit late b/c there were a lot of distractions today. From here things should get lighter for a while. Writing so much angst and doing the research I need to feel like I know something of what I'm writing about is taking its toll on me. Every time I try to understand GRSM from a Christian fundamentalist perspective I feel terrible.

I want to update anyone interested in Sulfur & Tealights on what I'm doing with it at the moment. When I started it, I had an idea and a vague plot, but no clear ending, so I had to figure out where the story would go as I wrote. Now I have a better idea of what to do with it, but I may have to scrap this first draft b/c it contains a lot of stuff I want to either get rid of, like the a/b/o trope, or rearrange. 
          
          All that is to say, S&T is a rough draft. I'm going to try to continue it because writing as I figure out the plot helps me visualize it better, but it's going to be rough. I still, however, would greatly appreciate feedback on what anyone who reads it likes or doesn't like, so if anyone wants to read it for that, thank you. I totally understand not wanting to read it, though. I don't really expect anyone to stick with it, and I hope to eventually put out something better that more people can enjoy.

For anyone who was anticipating an S&T update today, I'm going to post it tomorrow so I can edit and proofread it further. I apologize. I spent most of the week researching various things that might be useful to the story, but I've also been out of it lately, so writing has been difficult.
