Hello everyone, I know I've been silent on this project for a long time and wanted to address some questions. A few people have reached out to me, and I wanted to put my response more succinctly in this devlog.
Is A Cottage Story still being worked on? Yes.
Why is it taking so long? Being totally transparent, the reason is because I've been stuck on writing for a long time. There’s no real world problem that’s been stalling A Cottage Story aside from work and university.
Why no updates? I didn't give any updates sheerly out of anxiety and that’s entirely on me. I didn’t want to upload a devlog announcing a chapter is finished only to revise it again and therefore still be working on the same chapter the next month. Writing feels like it has been a constant uphill battle and I honestly didn’t know how to address this, along with feelings of anxiety because of how long it was taking. I should've announced a hiatus but always put it off thinking I would make a comeback. Well, the comeback is now which is about a year too late and for that I sincerely apologize.
So what now? I took a break from ACS to take a few writing classes and be more satisfied with my work. I’ve rewritten the outline, and am finally getting through chapters that previously stumped me. I can say with more confidence ACS will be finished in the near future. I'm sorry and embarrassed for not communicating and it's purely a lack of experience on my part. I genuinely think about ACS everyday! I appreciate all the love, support, and patience everyone has given me and I have no intentions of abandoning the project!
