Update: Misinformed and Other Things
🕑 Added 2021-04-30 12:54:13 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Good morning, afternoon, or evening, whatever time zone you are in. Today I've got an important announcement that I have been struggling with.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned feeling uncertain with going forward with Misinformed. I posted an update of the first chapter a bit ago, and upon some reflection, I do not feel passionate about the project anymore. I still would love to finish it, and I plan on doing chapters to bring the tale to an end. But I no longer feel the passion and heart to do a complete rewrite.
I know this may be disappointing to some of you, including those of you in the Misinformed tier (I will contact you personally and ask if I should delete the tier and let you move on to another tier if you want or just move on, your call.) This decision has been very hard for me, especially since I've been promising this for a couple of months now. I realized though I have not been doing anything for me, or pursuing personal projects like I would like. Money, of course, has been a major factor and I know going ahead with what I have planned could lose a lot for me. But I really want to go forward with the novel I have in mind, and I would love to have as many of you along as possible.
I posted a story idea some time ago about grim reapers. This story has lingered with me, and more than most ideas I've posted it's been heavy on my mind. I realized it stayed with me due to my grief and my anger at death over the passed couple of years. For me, this novel will be a chance for me to put death in a way to help me heal, as well as create a world and cast of characters that are new, challenging, and an exercise for me as an author.
I would love to be able to include all of you in on this. I plan on holding polls to vote on aspects of the stories, ask for help in making the cast unique and diverse, and much more. I still want you all here for the ride. July is my birthday month, when I'll be attempting this journey, and this is really a gift to myself, so I plan to save for that month. But I will be opening it up for chapters to get supported and offering special access to the story to those who do, including naming a character, place, etc.
Once again, I am sorry to those of you who were looking forward to Misinformed. I do still plan to finish it in a satisfying way, but a rewrite isn't in me anymore. You all mean so much to me, and your support does not go unnoticed. You're all so amazing! Thank you so much for everything, I will be eternally grateful that you allow me to be the little awful goblin I am and pursue my dream.
All my love, Momo
