To my readers,

Thank you so much for your reviews on my fan fiction, "Kindred."

I can't express how much I appreciate your feedback, and I'm so pleased to know that so many of you would like to read more. While I have not altogether abandoned Kindred, I have decided to take the next step as a writer and focus on my original novel, which I've been working toward writing for roughly 10 years. I am finally ready to embark on the journey, so I tossed about 250 pages of old material and started from the beginning again late last year, and I'm around 60 pages in.

Should I occasionally run out of inspiration for my original work, I'm happy to return to Kindred, briefly, as a fun project and writing exercise to work on and rekindle my creativity. Otherwise, my novel has to come first now. I don't know when it will be finished, but my working title is RAT, and I believe I'm going to publish it under the pen name "Vexan," as my surname. Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything else, on the advice of my editors and mentors.

I made a full post about this on my tumblr, here:

Thank you again for supporting and inspiring my endeavor to become a storyteller. Every encouraging word has been invaluable to me, and I want you to know how much it means to me.

Have a wonderful day, and reach out to me at any time! I love mail.
