I’ve been having some problems lately when I write new chapters for Violet.  When I started writing this, I didn't have a clue what I was doing, and even though I took the time to outline and define quite a few things, I missed an important thing.  What is the point?  I’ve tried to write in a point, but I can’t wrap my head around a good enough reason for the Dominion to attack other kingdoms or an overall goal for Violet to have.  What is the point of being the best at magic if there is no burning need for her to do so?

I am going to put Violet on hold indefinitely until I can answer those critical questions.  Slice-of-life stories are fun to read, but eventually, she needs to start taking a more active role in her life and have personal goals.

I’m not done writing. I am going to take time to properly outline my next story so I will, as a writer, have a sense of accomplishment when I reach specific key plot points.  If you stick around, I’ll be posting my next story on here once I decide what story I want to write.

I will put Patreon on pause so it will not charge anyone on the 1st of the month.

Sad that Violet is getting paused but I understand.

Well, shit. EDIT: It's not like I understand why the Dark Lord of the One Ring Sauron wanted to create a wasteland. Motivations don't always have to make sense.

Also, there does not have to be some Grand Goal. Those are actually really annoying and bad. Like, some MC having to save the world. Fuck that shit. Best are small goals. MC wants to have a house and a cat and a family some day, in the suburbs. Everything else follows. Ilea (Azarinth Healer) never had a goal except fighting monsters. Worked out really well for a reason: This actually DOES work. On the other hand, yet another "have to kill the demon lord" and the only reason to read is because you read everything else, not because it's fun.
