Hey everyone. I have something to tell you all.
I have officially unpublished Connected Lives. It was my ongoing story which was a revamp and rewrite of Finding Her Way.
I put a lot of effort into CL, completely planned the story, developed the personalities of my characters the way I wanted. But, I just can't seem to write it. I got one part done, then hit a full on block on the next part. It was a mess, drawn out, and felt inconsistent with who the characters were.
For example, Scarlett, who the story primarily follows, is supposed to be strong and always learning to adapt. But as I wrote and tried different ways to show her complexity, it came out all wrong.
This and other reasons have led me to just taking it down completely. I love the world and story, but I don't feel ready to tell it. One day I hope to share them, but right isn't that time.
I'll be keeping up with bonuses for Healing Scars and that's it. Other than that and the current awards I'm in for HS, I won't be doing much. Maybe I'll publish a short story I did for school. I'll still respond to comments on stories or any PMs I get. I hope you understand.
