hello!
Well, here I am. It's been a few months, but I just wanted to drop in and say... I have 30 chapters written for the "Long Time Gone" sequel! Currently, the chapters are in major editing, due to my tendency to rush things, but I have no major changes for the plot, which means full steam ahead. I've been adding small scenes, editing dialogue, nothing major.
Life is by no means less stressful, but I made a major decision and moved out of my grandparents' house. I had a long talk with my entire family and told them it wasn't my sole responsibility to care for my grandparents, and without help, I would go insane, or move to Canada and never call. So, I now go by once a week and take care of some things, like writing out the bills or paying bills in town since neither of them drive much anymore, and I'm living with the Marie Monster (aka, my sister) until I have enough money put back for an apartment or a down payment on a home. So, other than work-related stress and trying to save money (which I am HORRIBLE at), I'm doing much better, and writing is happening much more often now. Thank you guys for your support and not forgetting about me. You are all the reason I still try to keep in mind not to completely drop out of keeping in touch online. I'm not active in any other fandoms anymore, but Buffy fans have always been different. Which is probably why Buffy is the only fandom I continue to write for. I hope to post some chapters... soon-ish. I only want to start when I know for 90% certain that this story will not result in writer's block and sit for another six months. After all this waiting for something, I definitely don't want to do that to anyone. Well, except my sister, since she's read it all, and I've left her waiting numerous times... heehee, sorry, Marie.
So, don't give up on seeing a chapter posted sometime in the near future! Thanks again.
