As one could tell for the gap in writing (a week plus) I have likely dropped the story for the moment. This is not true, though I will be going on hiatus for a bit.

I am in the process of rewriting it after reading the comments and reviews, and other books similar to it for inspiration. I intend to have a backlog of fifty chapters at the very least by Q1 of 2022 before releasing.

My reasons for this are rather simple: depression (sense of worthlessness, doubt, hesitation, fear, pressure), lack of a backlog, writing myself into corners (I have no mind's eye so I can't imagine scenes in my head), be unable to find a point to move on from, not having a basic outline/free write (I'm a plantser where usually I have some outline of a few words for a chapter to guide me but I forgot to do that this time) and many other reasons.

You've all heard this before someone dropped or went on hiatus. You know, as I do, the song and dance.

I intend to come back to this, however.

I would like to ask each of you: Would you rather the old information be put in a volume with the rewrite in new ones or would you prefer a new book/story for the rewrite?

Either way, Loremaster will still be up/won't be removed or deleted.

I would like to thank every person who read, commented, and reviewed this story. It means a lot to me that you gave this a try. It encourages me to do my best from here on out.

I will see you all sometime by March of 2022!
