Holy crud. Two years since Iā€™ve finished ā€œMy Crazy Nerdā€ and announced that Iā€™ll be writing two more stories. Youā€™d think two years would be enough to at least finish writing one book considering that MCN took me around the same time, but nope. My chapter count isnā€™t even in the 10ā€™s place for my book, ā€œFaded.ā€ ā€œMy Deadly Appetite,ā€ on the other hand, has actually reached that number (with each chapter being long as heck), but Iā€™ve been unsatisfied with it lately.
          	
          	No amount of apologies will express how sorry I am for this long delay. The least I could do is explain why Iā€™ve been absent.
          	
          	ā€œWriterā€™s blockā€ is a common excuse among most writersā€”if not allā€”and one Iā€™ve been struggling with since I typed those few chapters of my stories. Sometimes it went, sometimes it stayed, and between those ups and downs, Iā€™ve managed to write something to move the plot forward, even if it was by a millimeter. 
          	
          	Then Iā€™ll reread everything Iā€™ve managed to write months later and rewrite a sentence, a paragraph, a chapter, until I just wanted to tear up the imaginary pages and start over. Iā€™d like to think this turmoil in the process of writing to be relatableā€”Hell, Iā€™m positive it isā€”but this crude thing isnā€™t the only factor to my snail-paced updates. 
          	
          	Itā€™s life. Of course itā€™s life. Life makes you busy. Life distracts you from focusing on what you loveā€”or used to loveā€”doing. Life drains you. It drains you to the point where when you finally have the timeā€”the interestā€”in doing a hobby again, you look at the blank screen, blank canvas, blank something and realize the emptiness reflects your own mind. Blank. And then you lose interest again and take a step back in hopes that your former spark will come back.

@IWantToRead101 Hi, I am currenty reading the first few chapter of MCN. It's great, I love the consistency of the characters, specially the weirdness of Penny. I got curious about you, so I checked if you have other stories going on. I'm sorry about your "writer's block"... I just want to tell you that I feel you in that last paragraph. I hope your well now.

          Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnā€™t, and thatā€™s okay. Thatā€™s just life and things like that happen. Itā€™s nobodyā€™s fault that it happens. 
          
          Even so, Iā€™m terribly sorry for the painstakingly long wait and I wish I could speed up the process, but Iā€™ve been distracted with a lot of things and even took interest in another hobby of mine which has taken up most of my time.
          
          Now, most of you may be wondering if Iā€™ll ever finish writing the books. Unfortunately, the most I can say to that is ā€œMaybe.ā€ And the answer to when Iā€™ll be finished will be when humanity starts living on Mars.
          
          Hopefully this explanation could serve to alleviate anyoneā€™s rightfully growing restlessness or curiosity on my lack of updates. I do wish to finish writing ā€œFadedā€, someday, but for now, ā€œMy Crazy Nerdā€ will have to do.
          
          
          ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
          
          
          TL;DR No story updates because Iā€™m busy with life, writerā€™s block is a rotten potato, and I donā€™t know when Iā€™ll finish writing the stories, but I want to one day. Might take years tbh cuz of former reasons.
          
          Hopefully Iā€™ll see you guys again on another blue moon. See ya!
