Subject: Fall Down and Smile - where the hell it is

I figured I should write this since well, I've been getting massive
amounts of e-mail wondering where FDS is.  Right, must remember that some
people don't visit the site : sorry.

So, in short: in January, had a massive breakdown due to....well,
everything basically.  And I've just been staring at FDS since then and I
don't know where I want to take it and I have no idea what to do with
it.  But you don't really need me to tell you the verdict of the trial,
all of you know what it is but I understand that you need reassurance.
Go with your instinct, baby!

Right, therefore, there isn't going to be anymore Fall Down and Smile
until I figure out what to do with it.  Please understand that if I just
force something out, I'll end up hating the story (and I think I'm on the
path to hating it) and we'll get no where. So, I'm taking a break from it
and I don't know for how long.  Perhaps forever (don't get your hopes up,
forever is looking pretty damn good at this point).

I'm really sorry.  And I'm sad to do this cause I've spent almost two
years writing these girls and making them my own.  I know a lot of you
have been there from the beginning as well.  I'm deeply sorry to do this
but it needs to be done.

If anyone has any questions you can e-mail me at :
quillfairy4@hotmail.com
or IM me on FairyoftheQuill (yes, I know, I haven't been on much either
but that s/n is now strictly for story business so I'm not on it that
much)

Thank you for the last year and a half.  Your e-mails have made a little
girl very, very happy and often brought me through when I was feeling
low.  Thank you for letting me be a part of your lives.

Don't forget to smile,
Secret Dreamer
