I am taking a break from Making a Living in order to consider the feedback I've received and decide where I want to take Bernie's story.

It seems the biggest critique is on the format of the story - specifically that readers don't enjoy the journal format so much. Admittedly, this story was based entirely on the idea of it being a journal and not a play by play of Bernie's life so I carried on in posting. However, as more feedback comes in on this matter, I am reconsidering.

Redoing the story in a more common format would take some time and a big re-write. Chapters will also be slower to post. That said, the slowness and the time it takes to reformat might be worth it if it makes the story better for readers to enjoy.

To help me decide on what to do, I have created a poll. Please consider voting and letting me know your thoughts. All I ask beyond that is that you be kind.
