Because of that, Iāve lost my inspiration for this fic. The reasons I started writing it just arenāt there anymore. Iāve tried pushing through, but every time I do, it leaves me with this awful pit in my stomach, like Iām doing something that goes against my gut.
On top of that, everything going on with Kylie lately has made it hard to feel safe or even welcome in this fandom. I still appreciate her as a singer, actress, and artist. But the way sheās been handling certain situations lately just doesnāt sit right with me. And Iām someone who canāt stay quiet when something feels wrong (like Iām doing right now.) Thatās just who I am. I believe in being honest, even when itās unpopular. And I think Kylie, as someone with influence, shouldāve done the same.
All of that to say; Iām taking a break. Itās an open ended one. I donāt know how long Iāll be away, but please donāt expect any updates in the meantime. Iāll try to wrap up Troubled Steps after the break, but I canāt promise anything. Right now, this story is making me feel more anxious than inspired, and I donāt want to keep forcing myself to do something that doesnāt sit right with me.
To those of you who truly enjoy the book: Iām so sorry. I never meant to disappoint or hurt anyone. But I have to stay true to my values, and right now, that means stepping back.
Take care.
Iām really sorry.
- Millie.
