Hey guys, I'm sorry I've taken so long to give an update of any kind. Really, I didn't want to say anything until I had something concrete to give you, but now it's been almost two months since I updated and I have to at least say something. I have not abandoned this story. I've stated before that I wouldn't and I really don't plan on it. At this point, I've given you guys so many excuses that you most likely know them all. To summarize: I'm busy. I have work and other things and I also like to have time for myself, and since it's the summer, I've been having lots of "me time." Finding time to write has been tough, and when I have had time, I've been working on a different story that I started in May (The Little Merbunny). Basically, I bit off a little bit more than I could chew. I'm not a fan of shifting between stories as I write, so it's turned into a matter of finish one and move onto the other, and I am close to finishing. I estimate that I've only got a max of 2 chapters left in TLM and I'm working on finishing that up right now. After that, I estimate I've only got about two chapters left in this story as well. I have to move into college for Freshman year on August 23 and classes start on the 28th. My goal is to have both of my ongoing stories wrapped up by that point. I am truly sorry for dragging this out for so long. I started this story on a whim on New Years Eve, based off of one idea. As I mentioned at that time, I didn't have any experience in writing longer things and consequently, I didn't have an overall plan for the story. I'd like to believe that as the story has progressed, my writing has improved and my planning has gotten better, but I guess I'll just have to wait until the end to find out. If you're reading this and you've stuck with my story throughout all the sporadic updates, flaws, and (hopefully) improving writing, thank you, sincerely. I'll see you all next update :)
