A Note to Readers...

I'm taking a sabbatical

Dear Readers,

I’m taking a much-needed break from writing to reevaluate the direction of my writing career. The industry has forced writers to pump out a book a month to make up for declining book sales. I just can’t work that way, and I’ve tried every way around that model possible to make ends meet and my work has suffered as a result.

In the Meantime, is just not going as well as I’d like and I don’t like forcing a storyline. I know this is a disappointment to you but trust when I say, it’s better this way. I don’t like adding my name to something I know isn’t up to my own standards and don’t have the passion I once had to complete this story. This is a result of being spread too thin creatively. I’m taking a step back from writing and letting that spark build again before writing something I can call my own.

If you’re a paid subscriber, you will have access to all of the same posts and your subscription has been suspended, you will no longer be charged.

I’m taking a sabbatical and I’ll return to writing renewed at a later date.

Kind Regards,

A. R. Shaw

Good choice. I thought you were juggling a ton of story lines!!! And since we seem to be living in an apocalyptic world these days, maybe it’s good timing for renewal.

Enjoy the respite. Let the muse recharge. Explore other creative outlets- paper arts, yarn arts, painting, drawing, photography— whatever feels right.

So I signed up and paid for an annual in February and only just started to take advantage of the membership/subscription. I only got a month and a half out of 12…. Will my annual be extended/restarted when you start up again?
