My lovely readers,

It finally happened. Somewhere between the commute from school to home every weekend, the wire connecting my hard drive to my computer (that is, if my brother is right in his diagnosis) came loose and I am soon to be without computer. Sadly, it also means that the only computer I have access too (the old yet not-quite-junky one at my house) has nothing of my stories on it that has not been published for everyone to see.

What does this mean for you? Well, it means that it is virtually impossible for me to be updating during the school week until my computer is fixed (hopefully in a week). It also means, though, that I'll be handwriting everything, including my stories, and that I'll be home on Friday freaking out about my e-mail and the things I have to type, once again including my stories. If all goes well (here's to hoping) that means everyone will be updated by Saturday morning. This, in turn, means that getting out another update by Sunday would be an accomplishment to brag about for ages (it would, for the record, be 16,000 words, the equivalent of ten english papers) but also unlikely due to my work and school schedule.

I understand that my updates have been slowly growing more sporadic, something I hoped to remedy by updating on time this week, but this borderline unexpected event (I thought it would be my charger to give out, as it is nearly snapped in half) is simply on of the punches I hope to roll with. Knowing me, by the end of the week I'll be twitching at not having updated, which is good news for you guys.

My deepest apologies to you - I can do nothing but beg for your understanding.
