Sadly, this is not an actual chapter update.

WAIT! Don't walk out just yet!

I have the next chapter, Tuberose, all written out, but since arriving home from my out-of-state vacation, reality has hit me full force. Every time I believe I have the chance to go on the computer, something always happens that makes me get out of the seat. I have five little siblings to care for on weekdays, I'm attempting to finish my online DriversEd, my summer AP literature assignment still needs to be finished, and my mother thinks I spend too much time on the computer, even when it 's to take care of responsibilities I have as some site's moderator or helper. Balancing an internet life and a real one is hard enough; adding my secret writer's life to it is exhausting. Nevertheless, it's a part of me, so don't think this is a message that I'll be giving up anytime soon.

Also, as many of you have probably noticed…ECLIPSE IS OUT! So I'm sure the majority of you have already read it, and know about the many werewolf secrets that we discovered. Which also means, I have a bit of cleaning up to do in the previous chapters of Bouquet of Hearts. Now that we have loads more info about the werewolves, I also have so many ideas about where this story could go, especially things about Jacob and Quil…Oh shoot. That reminds me.

ECLIPSE SPOILERS AHEAD!

Those of you who read know more about Sam, Embry, and Quil than we did before. I'm interested in writing about who could possibly be Embry's half-brother. If not in Bouquet of Hearts, definitely in a later fanfic. Also...one word: imprinting. You can bet against Alice if she thinks I won't be including that in the story.

All this pack history we picked up in Eclipse is incredible, and enough to keep fanfic authors writing for months. I feel like I've completely gone against Quil's character, but I'm completely glad I didn't end up anywhere close to finishing this story because it gives me a second chance. Especially considering Quil actually likes being a werewolf, and that's information I'm more than glad to receive (imagine me writing about a depressed, unconfident Quil Ateara shivers).

END ECLIPSE SPOILERS.

Anyhow, thank you to everyone who's kept up with Kyla and her story so far. Progress for new chapters will come out slower than ever (think The Lion and the Lamb by Alphie, or Nightfall by Black Angel…both great reads I recommend to any Twilight fan). Still, whether you all follow us through to the end is up to you. Writing Bouquet of Hearts has rekindled me passion for writing, and that's the main thing I'm happy about.

So, all that being said, here's a little gift for those who actually got through all that whining and incoherent planning: a look at the titles of the next six chapters!

Chapter Five --- TUBEROSE
Chapter Six --- GREEN LOCUST TREE
Chapter Seven --- VISCARIA
Chapter Eight --- TITAN ARUM
Chapter Nine --- LOVE LIES BLEEDING
Chapter Ten --- PERSICARIA

Note: The titles of chapters seven through ten are subject to change.

Again, thank you to all who have reviewed or added Kyla's story your favorites list. Until next time :
