My darling readers,
It is with no small sadness that I note it has been nine months since last I posted an instalment to this story. That time frame is curiously appropriate, because the distraction that kept me away was my pregnancy and the birth of my daughter, who is now two months old. I kept thinking I would get back to my beloved
Bachelorette but as of yet, it has not happened. And if I thought being pregnant took a lot, I didn't realise how much more having a baby in the house would require of me!
It has been two and a half years since I started posting this story, after many months of working on it in preproduction. One of the last things I said was that I have to see it through. I am still loathe to let it go, but I hate to keep you all hanging on when I don't know when I'll work on it. At this point I am unsure how to proceed. My bachelor sponsors did not sign up to wait so long. Several of them don't seem to frequent this forum anymore.
The Bachelorette was intended to be an interactive story, and I'm not sure what to do when the other players stop playing. I am open to suggestions. I'm not sure how many people are still reading, but this story has always been for you. I can't post now, but if you have ideas about the missing sponsors I would love to hear them.
If I do stop writing this story, then I apologise to each of you. I'm so sorry to pull you in and not give the payoff. It was never my intention. I found out that an interactive story is much harder than it first appeared! Please accept my sincere and humble apologies.
