so, now that I'm back to writing, I've been pretty obsessed with the idea of rewriting the beginning portion of the story. with that in mind, I've decided to go through those chapter and rewrite them with the hope of better exhibiting my growth as a writer. what this means is that, at least for now, I'll be focusing my time and energy on (hopefully) improving the quality of the earlier, less polished work.

a part of this is because I thoroughly understand that no matter how capable or decent my current writing is means nothing if the earlier processes are deeply flawed and found lackluster.

as always, I thank you for your time.

tl;dr: the story will continue, but for now I've decided to focus on improving the earlier chapters.
