UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE

I am sooooooooooooo sorry. I was trying to hold off on interacting with this story and getting your hopes up but I feel like it's necessary to tell you guys what's going on. I wish this wasn't just an update chapter but it mostly is. I am truly, honestly sorry.

The following is taken mostly from another fanfiction story I'm writing, All for Nothing. If you would like to keep track of my writing then you should check that story out. It's not as fast as my updates for Dark Connections were, but it's something, right? It's a Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja fanfic if any of you are wondering. (It does not feature any plot or ideas from the Dark Connections plot however. Sorry, XP)

Okay now that I've made myself sound way too formal, here are some questions you might have regarding Dark Secrets.

1)Are you going to update Dark Secrets soon?

I'll be completely honest. I have no idea when it will be updated. I've been debating whether to continue from where it currently is (and what doesn't help is that I've already started chapter 3). I feel like I jumped into the plot way quicker than what I wanted and now the lazy side of my brain doesn't want to rewrite the first two chapters even if I wanted to. Maybe I can post a poll later and you guys can help me figure this out.

2)Does this mean Dark Secrets is cancelled?

Absolutely not! I know you all want to know what happens to Randy (I do as well!) and there are probably some/many plot holes that are in Dark Connections that I need to cover. I'd like to reread Dark Connections myself pretty soon to see what needs to be fixed. All in all, nope! Dark Secrets is still a go!

3)What have you been doing? Wasn't summer about to start right after you updated chapter 2?

Hehehe, yeah... Well again, that writers block was just a poopy little feller that got in the way. With that, June was pretty busy for me anyway. I went to Italy at the end of the month for two weeks (WHICH WAS AMAZEDINGLES. Holy cow, I wish I could go back. It was so beautiful and calming and the weather was super nice! And the food.The Foooooood.So wonderful and mouth watering. I want gelato now) and then my older sister was moving away in July. I really don't know guys, motivation just got away from me. I'm really sorry.

EDIT: School has also been pretty chaotic for me this year. Starting high school is quite the experience and managing time… it's not my strongest quality. Maybe during summer of 2015 I can take a look at this story some more and decide.

4)Could you maybe just... give us some hints on what happens to Randy? PLEASE?

Pfffft. No. I'm still the author who loves to keep you guys twirled up in my mind of confusion. My suggestion? Reread some of the last chapters of Dark Connections. There may be some stuff you missed? I don't know. :3 I really will try to update soon but definitely no promises. Also, once I update I don't know how frequent updates will be for the story. Sorry guys. Here, I won't be totally heartless. Here's a few sentences from Chapter 3 (***This was added to after being taken from my other story)(but it may be changed so don't get hooked on anything yet):

"What's wrong with you? You've been so distant lately," The ginger shook his head, not wanting to get side tracked. "Never mind, forget that. We have to try McSavors."

"Yeah, yeah…" Randy glanced away from his friend, putting an arm up to rest his head on. "I don't know, Howard. I don't really feel like thinking about it right now."

Howard raised his eyebrows. "Are you serious? Come on, we've been talking about this since the rumors hit Norrisville like five months ago!"

"Sorry Howard," The 14 year old stood from his spot at the table they were sitting at in Greg's FoodHole. "I'm gonna go. Text me if you figure something out though."

"Randy! Come on, not again." Howard yelled as his best friend walked out the front door and didn't look back.

If he (Randy) was honest with himself, he'd been feeling down a lot since… sometime several months ago. But every time he tried to think back to when it started, a sharp pain was sent through his skull. For that it wasn't worth it really, but Howard urged him to say what was wrong a lot. And each time Randy would excuse himself and go home.

That's all I got for you guys!

If you would like to help and have input on where this story goes, there is also a poll on my profile! Please check it out, it would probably help me a lot in deciding what to do.

If you have any more questions, shoot me a PM and I will definitely talk to you about it! :) Again, I am truly sorry for the wait and I hope I can get back into the flow soon.
