Choosing the path ahead

Hi all,

Just in case someone doesn't see my author's notes, once I've finished posting the next chapter or so I'm considering doing a major re-write of the story I've written so far. In particular I've come to dislike the 'omniscient narrative' style of the story, and I think I've got too much telling and not enough showing. Trying to stick too closely to the in-game dialogue has left some of the scenes clunky and laboured, while others just seem to drift with no purpose. I've tried to fix some of these flaws as I go, but that just seems to create bumps in quality and further breaks the flow of the story.

Naturally, a re-write would mean my schedule of posting once a week is probably going to slip. A lot. I'm going to be taking some time out over Christmas to think things over and get the re-write started, but I've been working on this story for five years and fatigue's beginning to set in - I beginning to feel like I need a break from it, so that I can focus on the many other projects I've started but haven't been able to fully focus on.

I don't want to be one of those authors who starts a project and then disappears and leaves their readers hanging, but on the bright side I don't seem to have all that many readers yet, so now's the perfect time for a rewrite. Just to reassure everyone, I do intend to continue this story but... it might take a while. I mean, it's nearly been a year since I started posting, and now I'm going to start all over again. Then again, maybe the anniversary is the perfect time to look back and start again.

As always, comments and advice are greatly appreciated.
