I've taken Broken down. My way of writing has changed over the past year or so. I started writing it three-years ago, back when I didn't know much - didn't even understand the basics of grammar that well. I'm sure a few years down the line I'll probably be looking at the way I write now and cringe a little because I'll have, hopefully, gotten a little better. But for now, I cringe quite a bit when I look at Broken, because a) I know it's a story that has some potential to it, but the writing lets it down, and b) I want to make it better, plot it better and just finish the damn thing. It's been three motherfucking years. I just want it to end, but make it good, too, because it's the very least you guys deserve. I mean, people still read it, it's my most popular story and I am aware that the Sky High section is filled with utterly shitty stories. For every good story you manage to find - and they are there, you just have to dig back - you'll get a few hundred terrible stories filled with OC's that are awfully written and bizarre auditioning for character's bullshit. I don't want people to look at mine and slump it into that category. So I'mma take it down and work the shit out of it until it's better. Something worth reading. Not this tragically crap piece filled with a million and one metaphors.

So whoever is out there, waiting for an update - I'll see you soon in August. :D

And if you're pissed, that's cool. I do understand.

Well fuck, it's been a year. As you can see I was a terribly optimistic fool thinking I'd get it done by August. I'm a turd. No doubt about it. Yes, I'm still working on it while I scour tumblr and slowly become obsessed with One Direction. No seriously, if you don't know who they are, don't look them up, they suck up your life (yes, you Styles, you motherfucker). It's a slow process. I'm going to re-watch Sky High because I've forgotten half of it, and I hope by doing so it'll get me back in the right zone. I write in present tense now, and all of Broken is in past tense. And I've gone back and changed that but, it still doesn't sit well with me. I think I am going to have to just re-write it all. I took down 24k length wise. I think working on it as a re-write it'll clock out possibly at 30k words. Which I know I can do in 2 weeks under the right circumstances. No seriously. I'm going to finish this. It's like a huge weight over my head, it's something I want to be proud of in some way, but fuck man, I'm not going to be one of those writers who leaves something incomplete forever without a fair warning either.
