Okay, so it has been a while since I did something or gave an update. So, here goes. First and foremost, yes, I'm alive, and yes, I'm still writing. The only problem is that it took a really long time to actually gain any traction in writing. Here is a summary of what is happening. So, for "The Abused Becomes a Hero" story, I only wrote 1/3 for this latest chapter. For context, that's about 2000 words alone. Yay, this is a long one, I tell ya. There's so much I have to write that it feels ridiculous. So, can you please be patient with me on this? I would greatly appreciate it.
