Hey guys, I know that you hate these with all your heart, but I truly feel that this is necessary (well, actually, no, but I feel obliged to explain a little)

A u t h o r ' s – N o t e
(will be deleted as soon as possible)
As you all have probably realized, I'm no longer the girl who updates every day out of pure excitement of getting five reviews. No. I'm not. It's sad, I know, but true.
And as you all know (or at least I hope you know) I have about six stories on my priorities right now, and a one-shot that I will probably continue. It's overwhelming, especially since I'm trying to write longer chapters, and I'm plagued with Writer's Block more than I'd like to admit. So you, my dear readers, you wait. You wait and you wait for something to pop up in your inbox. And today, you probably saw that I updated ALL of my stories, and jumped and screamed with excitement, exclaiming, "So THAT'S what she's been doing! She wanted to update them all at once!"
Well I'm sorry. First of all, I don't deserve that kind of treatment. If you actually, DIDN'T scream with excitement until your vocal chords were strained, then I understand. I don't deserve inexplicable ecstasy at the sight of my updates.
Second, I'm sorry that you clicked on the link and find this boring, dull, listless Author's Note instead. And right now, as you're reading this, you're probably wondering, "Where is she going with this? This is one of the longest notes I've ever read!"
Moving on, I started school again on Thursday. And I have a new Latin teacher, who's really… how do you say it? Weird (but I don't hate him like some of my classmates do) He wants us to call him Magister and is giving us homework every night and a project every month. And he addresses us randomly with Latin questions like "Quid agis?" And we answer, "Bellisime, or mediocriter, or haud male." Or something. And from what I've heard about my English teacher, she pushes HARD.
So I have even less time, and even less focus to update. I'm basically just writing this because I realize that some of you are only following one of my stories and are probably wondering why I'm being so slow at updating. I advise you to either be patient or put me on Author Alert (or another of my stories on story alert), so as not to get frustrated with me.

And now, for the reader, a little layout of my stories:
My Heart Will Go On- I'm actually working on a new chapter for this story currently. I'm not getting very far, but I'm trying.
Collections of Love- I used to update every two to three days, and now I haven't updated much at all. I'll do it when I have time, or when I'm bored of my other stories.
Tween Weekly- Same as Collections of Love. When I have time, I'll do it. Only thing is, the articles will take much longer to write, and to come up with.
Confessions of a Chadaholic- I love this one-shot. And I love how so many of you love it, too. I'm thinking that I will continue it, only not under the same story. I'm thinking about writing a Chad version of it, with a different title.
Dreams Make Reality Impossible- Ah, my first story, that I started in a notebook in China. I realize I haven't updated this in a month, and I'm sorry. This might have to be put on hold for a moment.
Lines of Deception- I love this story, too. And though the plotline is still a bit rough in my imagination, I'll update as soon as possible (which… evidently… is not so soon)
365 Days of Eternal Bliss- Six words for you to ponder. I'm going to miss the deadline. Seriously.

And now I have a couple favors to ask you, if you are still reading this.
No. ONE
DO NOT GET AGGRAVATED WITH ME.
I think I said "I'm sorry" enough times to suffice for a month!
No. TWO
DO NOT REVIEW THIS CHAPTER UNLESS IT IS CONFESSIONS OF A CHADAHOLIC.
I've realized that after somebody writes an Author's Note, people review, they take it down, put up a chapter in its place, and nobody who reviewed the note can actually review the chapter. I want my reviews for whatever chapter number it is on this story to BE ABOUT THE STORY. Thanks. If you WANT to contact me concerning this review, for whatever reason, do one or more of the following:
Go to my Twitter (SWAC4Life) and send me a tweet. I'm on there a lot.
Send me a PM.
Go to one of my one-shots and review that. Start your review with AUTHOR'S NOTE FEEDBACK, or something similar.
If you haven't reviewed all of the chapters before, go back and review an earlier chapter.
Thanks.
No. THREE
READ THIS STORY:
Summer Fades to Fall, by deadheart115.
I swear, it's a thousand time better than all of my stories combined (and I know people always say that, but I MEAN IT)
I was supposed to recommend it in My Heart Will Go On along with my next update, but why not just recommend it to readers of ALL my stories?
And yeah, I bolded this entire message for effect. I hope it stands out.
Read it. It's amazing. Nuff said.

I think that's all I had to say… I hope so. And so, I conclude my first (and hopefully last) Author's Note. This was strangely easy to write. It's only been half an hour and I've already got almost 1,000 words. Why can't I do THIS with my stories, I ask you? WHY!?
Thank you. And sorry.

PEACE OUT SUCKAS!!
