Hey everyone,

I wanted to drop in and give everyone a little update.

I am still writing, albeit very slowly, this has not been abandoned! Just on a bit of an extended hiatus, but I promise I'm not just leaving the story.

After I updated the last chapter, I had a pretty close-to-home death in the family and I've been kind of down for the count since then. So I'm just now starting to feel better and back to normal since then.

But my attention and time have had to go towards other pressing issues other than writing as well. I'm in the process of transitioning out of my current job and going headfirst back into the world of job applications and everything that goes along with that. And a possible move soon, too. (Especially now that it's a bit more unstable here in the US with how our gov't has handled COVID, re: Poorly)

So other things are eating up my time right now, but I wanted to jump on here and give everyone a quick message saying that I am still writing in the background and I have full intentions of finishing this story!

So if you've been a faithful and continuous reader or are just finding this story for the first time, I want to say thank you! Thank you for being patient and sticking with me! And thank you for all the reviews and feedback!

With that said, you can message me on here or leave a review if you'd like to still let me know you're there or to leave any feedback for past/upcoming chapters! I have most of the rest of this book planned out, but if there are any character dynamics/scenes between certain characters I haven't done much with or you would like to see, let me know so I can plan accordingly! Or any other story feedback!

Thanks so much, everyone! And thanks for sticking with me! And who knows, I may even throw the occasional one-shot out there between chapter waits just to let everyone know I'm still alive. My head hasn't exactly been in writing mode for a while, so I have to have a way to slowly work my way back there and keep in practice.
