To all who have read this book so far, whether you liked it or not, I can't express my gratitude enough.

However, I am starting to realize that my motivation towards writing Irium is starting to dawdle. And I realize that has also dulled the quality of the book a bit.

For the past few days, instead of a drive to write, it was the self-inflicted pressure of not breaking the schedule that was driving me to write.

But I don't want that to be the case.

Even though this novel started as a side project, I have come to like it enough to want to give it all I can. At present, I don't think I am doing that.

That is why, I am putting this book on a hiatus to get myself together.

I hope to return to writing Irium someday and, hopefully, be able to deliver some real quality. However, for now, I think I should stop and focus more on my other book.

I apologize to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. I am probably letting you all down. But what can I say? I don't want to sacrifice quality for quantity and that's kinda what I have been doing lately.

To summarize, this book is going on a hiatus.
