This won't be a chapter for the story, but a message from me. Sorry to disappoint.

First of all, I am sorry for the inactivity! It's been haunting me since I stopped writing, but motivation and time became a rare sight, so I had to take a break. And I've made some changes! Here's my master plan: First off, A New Chapter will be one book, but more like a spin-off rather than the base for my stories. It'll be about the events from the Lord of the Rings, anda tenth walker. However, I will have another book published, telling of her time in Rivendell–around the time the Fellowship is made–as the 'ground base' for my future stories. Said story has yet to get a title, but we'll get to it! I do this because I feel like that will be better. Making A New Chapter a spin-off would let me keep the story I've planned out since forever, and at the same time do right by Tolkien's world by not adding a tenth walker. So yeah, I'll start up again soon hopefully. I've already rewritten some of the previous chapters of ANC, and come up with some new content and ideas.

With that being said, sorry again for the long, long wait. And I hope to be back soon, if time will allow it. Until then, my friends!
