Hi

I hope you all had a Happy New Year.

I have something to say. This as not been easy to write.

I have been thinking. Thinking, that I should give up writing. I find the

idea some what disturbing myself.

When I first started writing. I found ideas coming to me quick and fast.

Stories bursting to be written down. I've been finding it harder and harder

to write. This itself I find very distressing. The last couple fics I have

been fighting to get the story out.

I feel that I have lost the spark. I have stories waiting to be finished in

the back of my mind. I can not get them down on paper.

While I have never given any 'negative' feedback. I have found, I had to

leave a couple lists due to what I can best call 'rude people' i.e. counting

typo's and making fun of my stories. What I, myself would call them would

not be printable, on some of the lists I am sending this E-mail to.

I am planning to complete any outstanding stories I have on the go. After

which I am planning at this time, to step down from writing altogether.

This is just how I feel. This as slowly been coming to a head for months

now.

I thank you for taking the time to read this. I thank all my feedbackers

who have supplied me with wonderful feedback and encouragement over the last

couple of years. I hope you will stay with me while I complete my

outstanding fics.

Best Wishes

Ryan

To live in Harmony is to live without fear,

and man's greatest fear is death.

There is no such thing as death.

Life is continuous. Love is everlasting

This I know, for I exist as to you, my

friends, together and forever.
