It Can't Be Over (Book 2 - Immortalfox)

An Update For My Beloved Readers

Hello everyone. I'm sorry this update of the story isn't an update to the actual story. I understand it's been about a month since the last update, and for that I apologize. This update will be a bit of an important one, because I honestly want to talk to you, the reader, and hope that you understand and can comprehend what I'm telling you.

I've recently hit 90 followers, and that honestly touches me to the core. I never thought that, just by posting one and a half stories, I'd reach such a tremendous feet in so short a time. It simply astonishes me, but something is lacking.

I created a Tumblr for the main purpose of getting to experience Tumblr and to have it as a secondary site for uploading my stories and, most importantly, to get that interaction with my readers (I don't want to say fans because I feel that that implies something more--something we don't have). It may seem absolutely pointless to you, but I want to be able to interact with you guys. I get comments on the story and that makes me super happy, but I don't feel that we have that relationship that I want to have with you--one that is outside of the story.

I don't know why. Perhaps I seem unapproachable, or too serious and mature to have that aura of social ability. I probably do. I'm a pretty introverted person, and the only way to see my inner self is for me to get to know the person first. Perhaps that translates through on the Internet. ^.^

Also, updates for this have not been the easiest. Ever since the beginning of my school year, my motivation and determination has ceased. I don't always feel it, but I feel pretty hollow and demotivated right now as I think about what I want to say to you guys.

I know how I want this story to end and what I want to happen along the way, but I can't just sit down and write because the words to that chapter would be empty and lackluster. I want to finish this story, but not remember it for finally finishing it and getting it over with, but to actually remember it for feeling like I portrayed it to the best of my writing ability and feeling proud about it.

Right now, I can't write Chapter 15 and feel good about what I wrote. My heart just simply isn't in it.

But I will finish this story. I can say whole-heartedly that my phase of inward depression towards this story will fade and I'll wake up one morning with enough vigor to write a successful chapter.

So what should you gather from this update? First, I will finish this. It may not be today or next week, but it will happen eventually. I feel guilty for not saying anything sooner--I owe you guys that much.

Second, I want to know you guys! I want to talk with you on here or on Tumblr and be asked questions, have hilarious conversations, or fangirl with you guys over the Aleks s'more video posted on the hub last night (which, by the way, I did squeal over). So talk to me! I want to get to know you guys! If I seem very boring or whatever, I want to change that. I promise I can be as nice and cool as the next person.

This is honestly all I can do. I can't reach through the screen and have this conversation with you--this is the only way I can show you and describe to you what has been happening. I hope that means something to you, because you guys mean something to me.

So talk to me on Tumblr or here--I don't mind. If you don't know my Tumblr, go to my profile page and click the little green house button. It will take you to my Tumblr instantly. If not, it's www.sandxstorm.tumblr.com.

If you want, I can even set up an e-mail account that I can converse with you guys on--you name it. I'm making the move, as I should have ages ago, to talk with you. I only hope I can get some feedback from you.

I hope you read this all the way through and that you comment. That will show me who actually did understand and has some motive to talk to me.

Anyway, I truly adore you guys for all you have given me. So all I ask is that we can be friends. I hope to hear from you soon. UvU
