The Path of Time ★ [3] ✔ (EDITING)

Final Author's Note / Q & A with Laura!

Congratulations! You've made it to the end of The Path of Time!

Now prepare yourselves. I'm about to get real with you guys. This is going to be a very long and deep author note.

This has been the hardest story for me to write in a very long time. It's been hard because writing an original story was just something I never thought I would do in this series. Despite that, I loved writing it as I hope you have reading it. After spending months enslaving over chapters, pulling all-nighters, and having to physically force myself to sit in front of my keyboard and write when I had little motivation to do so near the end, I'm glad this story has finally been completed.

It was such an incredibly slow process to get this whole thing out to you guys, and I'm so sorry that it has taken as long as it has to get out. The longer the book went on, the more I began to feel this story was lacking in quality; I felt this was getting worse as well. I wasn't as confident writing this book, which is something I've never experienced before. In the beginning, I thought it would be a good idea to write this original story in preparation for Civil War so you guys wouldn't have to wait for me to write one when the movie was released. I also wanted to write it so you could get more of an insight into Andi's backstory. I got halfway through writing this book...and began to think that it was a mistake. It was hard. It was hard because I didn't know where this was going to go, which is painful for a planner like me. I began to give up near the end, and that's why there was this ridiculous gap of a few months during the last few uploads. But I refused to give up. I refused to give you half a story with no ending. You deserved a completed story. You deserved a great story. And I've tried my very best to give you that story.
