Dear faithful readers.

I wanted to address a few things. It has been 7 1/2 months since I have updated on here. I got a review recently that really bothered me and I want to address. Some guest said this: Well... This was a good story. Too bad you never finished it.

I can't speak for every writer on here but i'm sure most of them would agree with what I am about to say. I have a life. I can't be writing constantly and focusing on fan fiction. 24/7. That's not living, that's just avoiding what really has to be done. Or sometimes life gives you no choice and hits you with something so fast and so hard that you no choice but to face it.

5 days after I updated Playing With Fire I learned that my Grandma was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer. I was in shock. She decided to try radiation treatment. There were times during those 3 months that i thought she wouldn't make it. She did though, she was determined to be cancer free after treatment. But she was so weak. Eventually she was regained her strength and was doing well until around Thanksgiving. She is fading away fast now, dying before my very eyes. I'm not even sure she'll make it to her birthday which is a month away. I also have an uncle who is literally drinking himself to death.

So I am watching this happen to 2 people I love. That is what my year has been like. Sometimes when the phone rings i think its someone calling to give the news I'm dreading.

My point is I have not intentionally stopped writing for no good reason or because i'm bored. I've just had life kicking my ass. I will return to my stories sometime. But I don't know when that will be. I'm starting to feel the spark, but i don't when for sure i will update. But i will be back! (Sorry for the terminator quote)

Thank you to my readers who stick by my side and who are patiently waiting for an update. I seriously love you guys! Don't take your loved ones for granted, you never know how many days you will have left with them.

I hope you all have a very (Happy Holidays!) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
