Sword of Ericliff (BoyXBoy)

Announcement!

Hello, my lovelies! Just know that this is pretty long!

I just want to start off by apologizing from the bottom of my heart and explain how sorry I am for not updating for an incredibly long time. I am really sorry that I haven't updated and this announcement is mostly the reason why I haven't.

1.) I have been incredibly busy. I am currently 17 years old and am a junior in high school. I am also currently trying to learn to drive as I got my permit in October. I am taking two AP (Advanced Placement) classes, an honors class, Spanish (I am in my third and finally year) and CC Chemistry, (which is actually a college credit class. Like I am a Junior in high school taking a college class). I know it's not an excuse, but it really has been causing me to be super busy most nights and just being able to sit down and rest for a minute to write when I mostly want to sleep causes me to write terrible chapters. I am also in two different clubs that demand me to have volunteer hours, which means that I will be busy doing that as well. I also need to take the SAT and ACT too.

2.) Additionally, my grandma and my father were both in the hospital. My grandma -over two weeks ago- was sent to the hospital where she was deemed as dehydrated and had high carbon dioxide levels. Later on, they found out that she had a stomach ulcer and she had to have surgery. Once she was out of the surgery room, she was put on sedatives for 4-5 days as she rested up to heal. She is now currently being moved to a rehabilitation center where she will build up her strength in order to come back home. My father, on the other hand, about a week ago wasn't feeling well and last Monday my mom finally took him to the hospital. His appendix had burst and he was rushed into surgery and almost died in the process. He came home yesterday and is now resting up at home.

All of this means that my brothers and I have been home alone as my mom was in the hospital with both of my family members. Due to this, she has been feeding us a lot of junk food -which she got when she came home around 8-9 at night- and on the days that she didn't feed us junk food, I had to cook/warm up food for my siblings. And now that my father is home, I also have to cook for my father as well, since he still can't have certain foods because they will affect his stomach.

3.) Finally, I haven't had the motivation to write Sword of Ericliff. I am not liking this story and the direction it is headed. This has caused me to feel like putting off writing this book and has pushed me to get addicted to other things, (like other stories that I am writing). This has made me so angry because I love Eddy and Jacan and Alexios and Jessy and it absolutely sucks that I haven't had the motivation to write these stories. Please believe me, guys, when I tell you that I have tried to write these stories but I have no idea which direction I am trying to get to and where I want this to go. 

This makes me want to restart the whole story. I know how that sounds because I hate how authors restart stories and redo them but it's because I never understood them before. Now that I am also a writer, I know how hard it can be to be persuaded to write something that you do not enjoy and I don't want to do that. I love this series and I love writing and I don't want to dislike either of them because I'm forced to write something that I hate. 

I am not sure when I will be able to rewrite these stories, especially considering I just started back up second semester of Junior year, but trust me I will start rewriting asap. Until then, I will keep up the chapters that I currently have, because I'm not sure entirely what I want to change and what I want to keep. I know I want to keep Alexios' beginning and I do like how Harry took Jacan, I just am not sure what I want to do before and/or after that. I may be saying this and end up not redoing this book at all! I would find it hilarious if I just had to reread the story and end up not changing anything at all, to be honest. Though, if I switch up anything, even just a little bit of a paragraph, I will post the new chapter up. I hope this means that I will also be frequently writing again.
