The 1975 // A change in heart

Please read, I'm sorry.

Note from the author,

I am so insanely sorry that I haven't updated in weeks, and I have to be honest with you as to why.

I adore this book and I adore this story but I feel like I am headed in shaky territory. I am in love with the storylines I have yet to introduce for each character, don't get me wrong I still adore writing.

But the storyline I have planned for Matty is something that he had actually dealt with and my problem is that I don't want to take his issues and turn it into this romanticized thing because it is not.

Also, recently I was told I probably wouldn't graduate high school. It's not my grades, my grades are fine. However in Florida you must finish an online class to graduate and I have yet to finish mine.

Could you imagine spending four years dreaming of finishing school just to hear that that dream might not even come true?

I have had more anxiety attacks in the last few weeks than I have ever. I have been far more depressed than I have ever.

And please don't feel bad for me. This isn't a cry for help because I know I can do it, I know I can finish but it's getting really hard to focus on a billion things at once.

So this is what is going to happen.

I am going to take the rest of April to focus on me and my school work. Because after April I am done with school, I have prom then senior walk out then I am done.

So I promise, I swear that May 1st you can expect an amazing chapter shining light on Matty's issues. I promise not to romanticize it, I promise to do as much as I can to show how serious it is.

Please bare with me.

This is not me giving up on this book, trust me it's killing me not to write and update every week but right now I am not in the place to be writing without all my work turning to shit.

Thank you for being patient and not being insanely mad at me.

If you can't be patient and wait till May for a new chapter I completely understand and I am sorry.

Yours truly,

Steph xx
