To my friends and readers,

I've come to a decision to leave Memories of the Heart unfinished.

While I am still into Greek Mythology, I don't hold the same interest in Hera and Zeus that I used to have when I started writing this story. I like them – Hera is still my most liked goddess and I still find her portrayal fascinating, but I don't think I can still write Memories of the Heart. My passion for it is just not there anymore.

I believe in unexpected flashes of genius which can make me interested in this story once more, and so I'm not saying I will never continue. But, at present, I don't believe I can pick this up and conclude it. Perhaps one day I'll feel compelled to do so, but for now, I'll leave this story unfinished. Not discontinued, as that denotes a stop altogether, but unfinished.

I've PMed most of you about this a couple of months ago, and I truly appreciate how almost everyone who sent me a response understand my decision. I'm really very sorry, and would like to thank you again for understanding.

Please be assured that I have no plans of taking off the story from this site. I'm leaving it as it has always been, for the rest of the fandom to read and appreciate. And no, this story is not up for adoption. If I may be allowed a moment of selfishness, I should like to keep the ownership of this story and its idea. Memories of the Heart is mine and no one else's.

Following this, I'd like to emphasize that I haven't stopped writing altogether. I have a new account, under which I plan to post Greek Mythology fan fictions. If anyone is interested, don't hesitate to leave me a PM and I'll tell you all about it. Hey, just because I'm leaving my account doesn't mean I can't keep being friends with those whom I've shared my first works with, does it?

Once again, I'd like to thank all of you for your dedicated readership and wonderful reviews; you have truly inspired me and made writing this story such a delightful experience.

Thank you very much.
