So here is the thing. I thought I’d have more time and energy to write again but more things in life have piled up and it’s just not something I can focus on right now. I feel like I am letting you guys down and it’s driving me crazy that the story is just sitting there. So with much deliberation, I decided to take down ‘The Forge’ until I am fully ready to return with more updated and better chapters, especially since I am constantly changing even current chapters. Please know I do this with a heavy heart, especially after promising so many times that I’m coming back, but I figured this will be better to come back as a surprise rather than leaving you guys to wonder ‘when’. I want to do this and I want to do it right. Please accept my sincerest apologies and may we meet again soon, better and stronger than ever. Burn bright my flames. Love, Ruby

@RubyOfFire Take your time! You're very talented and burning out would ruin something that you seem to enjoy a lot. Also so far I've loved every single thing you've published even when you where still writing fan fiction, I actually searched for quite a while before I realized you'd deleted it. I used to love photography but when I started doing so for others instead of myself that absolutely ruined my fun, I got something like writers block but for photography and I actually went to therapy to get out of it. And my therapist told me that if I'm blocked and no longer feeling the joy in it I should just do the parts of it that makes me happy and skip the rest for a while. Editing is also something you don't neceseraly have to do yourself if you don't feel like it, my grandma's a writer too and she frequintly edits books for other writers and vice versa. Just know that you're amazing and there's always someone willing to help you even if you haven't found them yet. ps. are you American?
