It took me a very, very long time to come to this decision, and I REALLY hope you don't hate me for this.

I'm going on hiatus for this story.

Multiple reasons, really. I sped too quickly into it, and did a poor job of writing. Because of that, I'm torn for what to do next. I have been torn since my last update, nearly three months ago.

I realize that so many of you love this story, but I've gotten so few reviews. While they are very good reviews, I'll admit I'm very… vain? I have little motivation to continue a story where I don't have ten reviews per chapter. Yes, it's a terrible thing for me to do, but I'm not perfect. I'm afraid I take things a bit bad. I'm a girl with OCD and an extreme perfectionist. I can't really help it much. I'm disheartened that I'm not getting more reviews, and that doesn't put it at the top of my list. And no, more reviews will most likely not cause me to update sooner, for reasons I'll explain later.

And then I have my other stories. American Girl, a big favorite of mine, is consuming much of my time in these past few weeks. While I haven't updated it as well, I've been brainstorming and writing for it. I love the story, and plan to continue it for a very long time.

Stand is also one of my stories I adore. However, I plan to finish this story much sooner than American Girl, relatively, of course. I only plan on no more than fifteen chapters in it before I finish, and it will probably not have a sequel.

While I knew I shouldn't have, I started a new story, Little Orphan Bella. It's in it's early stages, but I like it already. It will be much shorter, no more than twenty chapters total, and will take a backseat in my writing, I think.

Lastly, I promised my devoted readers of Only Hope that I would give them a sequel. The sequel is long overdue, and I finally have some ideas for it that are NOT cliché.

And while I love this story, I'm just having so much trouble writing it. At times I want to finish it more than the others, but whenever I start I end up stopping.

So, the probable course would be this: I'll rewrite the chapters, replace them, write a few more chapters, and then post them. That way you all will have a better quality story.

I'm not sure how long it'll take, so that's why it's considered a hiatus. But I've been writing and rewriting the next chapter and throwing all of them out after I finish. I can't keep it up, and I promise that you would not like the outcome if I did.

Don't worry, though. I'll replace the chapters under this story number and title. I predict I'll have the chapters replaced in a month, and the stuff after that. I know it's a long time, but I have a busy life. Finals, standardized testing, and advanced classes to deal with, not to mention my other stories.

I really hope you all don't hate me, and don't swear off the story for good. I promise that when I do fix it, you'll all love it.

Feel free to flame, bash, and throw vegetables all you want.
