So let's get real.

  For a while now I haven't been happy and I didn't know how to address it. I wanted to be like the other successful authors on here. Post regularly, develop a following and parlay that into a successful book posted on Amazon. But the reality is, I'm not there yet. I have been rushing things and I need to take a step back.

  Quite frankly, I hate releasing chapters that are not fully edited. I hate looking at the chapters and seeing a block of words because I haven't separated the paragraphs sufficiently. I feel embarrassed when I release a chapter that I thought was long but turns out to only be a quick unsatisfying minute or two of reading. And all this hate, disappointment and guilt has made it so I feel less and less inclined to write. The joy of it is being sucked dryer than a vampire feeding on it's favorite blood type.

  So I'm stepping back, from it all. I will not be posting on here for quite some time. I'm not sure if it will be weeks, months or years. But I know one day I will come back and I will be happy to post my work because I will feel like it was my best. It might not be the best, but it will be my best and that's what I want.

  But most importantly I don't want to lose my joy of writing. So until then thanks for reading my work and if you like my profile or the story, it will give you a heads up when I start posting again.

  I apologize to the reader's that have stuck with me during this up and down period and know that I am truly sorry I couldn't keep my end of the implicit bargain between writer and reader.

  Thank you all for your time I wish you joy in your reading/writing journeys.
