After much thought, I have decided to stop submitting to DA.

I am not leaving. There is way too much talent on here to not come and comment on it, so my account will remain active.

However, I feel my submissions are somewhat insignificant to the work I see here. I am but 13, I daresay one of the youngest here? I have much to learn about rhythm, flow, word choice, and most importantly, arranging my emotions into something of beauty, rather than just emotions.

I haven't been on here long, so I know I, nor my "work" won't be missed. I intend to start submitting again, so I won't delete my poetry, because I do want to edit and revise it most of them.

I really hope no one thinks that I am some attention-starved, hormone-charged little brat who thinks that writing one sentence deserves praise and favorites. Though I have seen work I don't think deserves the admiration it's received, I realize what I write is not exactly pleasing to the mind either. Writing started simply as an outlet for me, then grew into a passion. I will continue writing, but as a continued outlet, and experimentation.

I just need some time to myself to rethink my ideas, and how I portray them. Again, I am not leaving, just having a form of writer's block.

My pen bids you farewell.
