Hi Everyone
Hope you all had a great Christmas Day, that you all recieved wonderful presents and had a fantastic day with your family and friends.
I know I said that I would have uploaded the first chapter of 'The Fifth Note Of SkinnerBx' by now, but my life, for the past week, has been very hetic. As you all knew, I went away for awhile, to spend some quality time with my Dad, however I had to come back home early to help my Mum and step Dad take care of one of our baby ferrets (Yes, I have ferrets and many of them, lol). She was from a litter of four, born last saturday. Her Mummy dried up of milk on the Sunday, causing two of her fellow kits to die. My Mum and Dad tried to save her and her sister, however her tiny little sister died too. I came back home on Wednesday and from then on have basically had no sleep because we had to feed her every hour, on the hour. I thought that I would get quite a bit of writing done since I was staying up all night, however this turned out not to be the case.
Anyway, the little one we tried so desperately to save, died yesterday, and for us here in Oz, that was Christmas day. So yeah, I had a wonderful Christmas, sleep deprived and beside myself with grief over the lose of this baby ferret we worked so save.
I know it's seems silly to be so upset over the death of such a tiny little creature who only lived a week, but being there with her every hour of every day, watching her move about and squeaking and so on, you can't help but grow attached so that when she finally does pass away, you feel so absolutely gutted that all your hard work and love just wasn't enough to keep her alive. I know that she's now in a better place, with no more pain and so on, but that in truth, doesn't really make me feel any better.
Anyway, my point here is, I haven't written overly much of book 5, am only up to chapter 3, so I'm sorry to say and to ask if all of you could wait a little longer for it because I have been and still am too tired to write and in truth, with everything with the little girl plus everything else that is going on in my life at the moment, I haven't felt like writing either.
Thank you all for being so understanding and for being such a great group of people, filled with so much support and encouragement for my fics. If it weren't for you guys, I probably wouldn't even bother trying to write book 5, but I will, for all of you. So know, I haven't given up on writing it, I just need a little more time to, that's all.
Thank you all for understanding and I promise that I will be back soon and with 'Fifth Note of SkinnerBx' ready to go.
Bye for now and Happy New Year if I don't update before then.
