To the beautiful and faithful readers of :

"The Beauty In Tragedy and Apocalypse"

To everyone who may read this update, i know it has been a long, long, looong time. Anyone who may have been here from the beginning way way back to when i first published this story in late 2016, i am so sorry that it has taken this long for even an update about the story or anything to come out! I'm gonna detail why and what happened and all that a little later so keep reading. As for all the new folks in the twisted and super late world that is my first ever story, i welcome you to the disfunction that is my writing habits.

So i've only written this one chapter of a fanfic i had so many plans for, i even started the second chapter long long ago. As for any other fics i wrote, they are archived deep in my computer for being non publishable and or just bad ideas. I had plans to keep going with this story right away but shit hit the fan, and i mean it hit the fan hard.

I began writing this story as a way to keep my mind off of some of the bad things. As the school year started, i witnessed my first dog be hit by a car, and i'd rather not explain the rest. Just know that was a very hard time for me with the ensuing events. Only a little while after that, my pops was steadily in his cancer treatments, staying at my grandparents house as it was closer to the hospital he was being treated at. This is when i started getting very sick as well. After about 6 months of being extremely sick, and missing most of that year of school, i had finally found out that after a bacterial infection in my stomach was treated and many other contributing factors like anxiety and depression that i had developed celiacs disease. The first in my family to have it.

I lost my passion and incentive to right after that, trying to focus on passing and moving on to my senior year. I can say that i was never the same after that because i lost my drive for almost everything. Almost everything was looking down on me, and i lost my direction. Though i had a few positives in my life, i had just fallen deeper and deeper. That's why i started to write this story, as a way to keep my mind off of all the bad and try to keep myself thinking about the good. But as soon as i posted the first chapter and started the second one, it didn't get any better. My senior year was a joke and i count myself lucky i was even able to graduate with my class and not have to stay back another year. I was depressed and i just couldn't bring myself to do anything i used to love doing, like playing my games. Playing music in the band wasn't the same and i lost my will to write.

It's been a hard road, but i think i can confidently say that i would love to start writing again! I will take down the update schedule as right now i am not sure when or how often im going to try this again. i know for sure though that i am going to revamp the first chapter a little bit and familiarize myself with the story, plot and settings again. I would love to hear feedback from you guys as to what would nee dot be looked at and where things might need to change.

Again, i am deeply sorry it took so long for an update as to the situation and the story. I might release another update soon releveling where the story might go and what it might contain. Basically just general ideas and possible directions for the story. I'm going to try my best to keep you guys in the loop from now on!

But until next time ladies and gents, this has been your friendly neighborhood FanFiction writer, and I'll see you awesome people sometime soon!

Sincerely,

DrftKaido
