AUTHOR'S NOTE

Thank you for reading "Hard to Love"! Especially for the support and comments you give, they all meant so much to me!

This story was actually close to being dropped because of the severe writer's block I had before. It took me months to go back into writing this story, I was sad when I began to think about dropping this fanfic, I really do enjoy writing its plot when I first started this fanfic. I remember how I had someone's help to create this fanfic, well actually, they were the ones who recommended that I write this kind of story! That's why I was down when I was considering to stop writing this and delete it since I hate an unfinished fanfic, just the thought of all our hardwork but thrown away just like that felt heavy for me. That's where I decided to take a break, maybe read some books or rereading some of my favorites. I also decided to focus on my studies that time because the writer's block affected my motivation and dedication to study hard that I almost dropped a grade or two, that was the hardest part of my writing life. And I was also writing this with "Mo Anam Cara"... yeah, tough life.

I have said this on my other author's notes in "Mo Anam Cara" that what got me through was reading books and also mangas, especially romance genred ones since I feel like I've been swimming a pool full of angst that I needed something fluffy to balance it out (lol). I stopped overthinking and begining to build my confidence back up to write in here. Continuing writing on my original work has also helped me to build back up my passion and motivation of writing and I think I have improved (humbly pats my shoulder) and it brought me back here. It was a long rest that I forgot most of the parts of my fanfics which forced me to suffer and reread them and just pray for my brain to do the magic and remember. Another struggle.

That is why I deeply appreciate all your supports in this fanfic, all your thanks and votes are enough for me as payment for my hardwork and suffering. The journey on this fanfic was very tough, I didn't really expect that, but what I have always dreamed of is to end this fanfic with the readers who have become to love this with a satisfied smile. Despite the challenges before, I will miss writing this fanfic.

Also, a note. I am currently rewriting "Married @ Eighteen" but I still kept the original one since there are a lot of happy memories made there and I am that kind of sentimental person who would kill myself rather than deleting a 50+ chapter full of hardwork and memories. And I will assure you that it would be a worth read!

I have already learned my lesson. To put myself first and just enjoy writing instead of feeling obligated to do it. This way, I have my own writing style (too cliche?).

Enough speeches!

Again, thank you so so so much for staying and helping this journey end with me. I had fun, and I will miss this :')

With this, I will end "Hard to Love"
