Okay, okay. We get it.
Hello, everyone. As you may have suspected, there's been a lot going on around here that's kept me from fulfilling writing promises. I'm back in school full-time, going through a weird HR battle with my job, doing loads of research for the business I've just started...etc. Still, a promise is a promise and I feel TERRIBLE. So today has been a writing day. I've been writing and re-writing and editing and re-editing and I feel like I have a good enough pace to get on here and assure you with a more realistic promise. New chapter this week. I think it could be done earlier in the week than later, but I refuse to hook myself into a day that I can't come through on, so a generic "this week" is my compromise.
Also, I realize that the second issue is that after I post the new chapter this week, you'll have to live with the fear that you must once again wait a million years for an update. I honestly don't think that will be the case. A lot of the problem with getting this next chapter up has been the pressure of having not uploaded one in awhile and fighting the disappointment of losing the other one. It was really difficult to start from the beginning without trying to remember every part of the lost one and re-write from memory. That was disheartening. Now I've accepted that in order to move on, I have to go in a new direction so that I'm not comparing it to something I can't have back, you know? Anyway, everyone has been so fantastic and I appreciate every single person who hasn't given up hope. I can still assure you that I have no intention of stopping this completely--even if it takes TWO million years to get chapters out, they're coming. Please believe that. I'm still not walking away with a cliffhanger. Once again, as an avid ff reader, I know the feeling and it's awful.
So stay put. I'll see you this week--FINALLY.
