What was the objective? What's Next?

I've finally concluded my lastest story, 'Book of Love'
Well, there was a twist inside this story as I started writing.
As some of you may know, the main character inside this story, Mark Lee Yee Siang is the name of a good friend. I used his background and personality for this character plot.
I told my friend about it and he was pretty amazed that he had a 'writer' friend in me.
He penned Chapter 9.5 for me as a goodwill.
One thing that shocked me was that 'Christine' was the name of his current girlfriend.
(They got together not long ago)
My initial ending was to put Mark and Jade together in the story.
But since his gf is named Christine so I plot the story all over again.
So in the end, Mark is with Christine afterall... and I sincerely wished them the very best in life.
It is true that sometimes we would be with the ones we loved the most.
But love is something which we cannot explain.
'What's Next?'
I believe with the conclusion of my current story, the next question on people reading my stories would be... 'What's next? When's your next story coming...'
I have to be frank...
I tried to have a go in blogging because I thought blogging can get me some sparecash.
I'm in a small debt and financially not very sound.
Tomorrow's My 1st anniversary with Wifey and I don't even have the money to buy her flowers.
Anyway, I have not earn a single cent from blogging...
That's pretty lame so far....
Considering the time I've spent daily in updating the stories.
As much as I feel like quitting.
I looked back to those who was 'influenced' by my stories.
There aren't many but I've visited their blogs and read their entries on how they loved my stories and encouraged their friends to visit.
I'm flattered.
Because this wasn't the initial objective set out.
I'm touched.
Because these are things which money can't buy.
It would still be a long way before more people will know about my stories.
I don't when I will stop...
Maybe today,
Maybe 10yrs later,
Maybe after I've published a book.
Maybe Not...
