I'm sure it was expected, but now it is official. This series is on hiatus, I want to refine this story before I regularly update it. Plus, I have come to realize it shouldn't be my first serious series since it is so dear to my heart and I still have so much to learn about being a content creator, writing, etc. I want to change a lot about it and I want to officially have my focus elsewhere since it nags at me when I update my other series. I have many chapters of this done, but my writing has changed so much through each one and I want it to be consistent, I want it to be clear, and I want it to be something I am proud of. This series will happen when I am ready, but my other ideas will be coming first. I feel like I have let any subscribers down before this started and I am deeply sorry for that. I want to provide quality content, but since this is my first time publishing I really want to grow into myself and rework this story properly when I have found more balance, a more consistent style, and have at least one other series under my belt. I may change my mind and release what I have in my archives just edited in the future to receive feedback, but as of right now I need space from thinking about An Enchanter's Thorns. I have unbelievably high expectations that I know will only hurt me more in the future if I continue to keep this series as my main focus. It's not fair to me to set myself up for that emotional stress when it is my first serious idea. I will hopefully have more focus on my new ideas, but first and foremost I need to be kind to myself. I know myself enough to be realistic and know when I need to step back. Discarded Pieces will be my best bet and if I end up favoring a work in progress I may start that as its own novel. I hope anyone reading this understands, I have been very critical of myself when I log on to post an update so to those who don't read my recent description of this series I have this update in place. Again, I am sorry and hope I create something that even if it isn't perfect is likable enough to keep people around. I hope I learn more from these experiences and can get An Enchanter's Thorns to a place I want in the near future.
