Little something I'm working on ;)
          	
          	Murmurs reached my ears, in a language I couldn't understand but knew was not human. My fists clenched tight as I stalked toward Vince, standing tall as he seemed to shrink under my penetrating gaze. This was new. I hadn't seen fear in anyone's gaze directed at me since I was little.
          	
          	From that point on, I was looked at with disgust and malice, but never fear. After all, what could they fear about a girl who was ashamed of and hid her differences from everyone, including her family?
          	A faint smirk crossed my face. "Try that again, see how well it turns out for you," I taunted in a low growl.
          	
          	Vince immediately backed down, stumbling back and nearly falling to the ground. His friends all ran off out of the alley, Vince following behind for once. When I was sure they were gone, I relaxed, letting myself falter and slump against the brick wall as a shuddered breath escaped my lips. The glow from my eyes died down until it was nonexistent. The alien voices slowly began to die down in my ears.
          	
          	That was strangely relieving. To finally stand up for myself. But, at the same time, I hated it. It just proved all those things they said about me. I was different in a bad way. I was unique in a way I didn't want or ask to be.
          	
          	I was a freak.

Hey, it's been a while. I'm still working on some of those rewrites and stories before I post them, and it's taking a while. Inspiration's running dry.
          
          But I wanted to follow-up with some good news. My brother, over a month ago, had to have a procedure for his heart. They used a catheter through his thigh to climb up to his heart and burn off the nerve ending, and it worked. He's doing great. My senior year is going good so far, but we'll see how good it'll be by finals with my two AP classes.
          
          Another reason why I've been unable to properly work on my stories is because my laptop broke just over a month ago. I've tried to write on my phone, but it just doesn't end up right. My writing is much better on a computer for some reason. So I spent over a month saving up enough money to buy a new computer. It actually is a custom built gaming PC that a friend of mine helped me with. We just finished it yesterday, and I'm so excited about it.
          But now, hopefully you'll see a bit more activity from me. I feel bad about making you guys wait so long with nothing, and I want to get something done and posted. But I tend to plan chapters in advance and have them at my disposal before I post anything, which takes time. I feel like I'm making excuses, which I kind of am, and I'm sorry. But just because I don't post anything doesn't mean I'm not on.
          
          I hope this provided some clarity about my lack of updating. Once again, I'm sorry.
          
          Oh, and my 17th birthday is this Saturday!

Hey guys, I need to vent for a bit. If you don’t want to read this, that’s fine, but if you do, I’d be grateful for some words of advice or comfort.
          
          So on Tuesday, I asked my manager at work to have Wednesday off, using a vague family excuse. In reality, my dad wanted to take me dirt bike riding. But when I got home that night, I discovered my little brother was having his weird heart palpitations again (this is something he’s had for 2.5 years now, where he’d be relaxing and suddenly his heart rate increased to over 100 beats per minute). He also had two friends over.
          
          I thought nothing of it and went to bed later that night. The following morning, his heart was still over 100 bpm. Mom took him to the doctor at noon, who sent them to a cardiologist at the ER. We’ve gone to the hospital for this problem once or twice before, but they always chalked it up to something with caffeine. This time, the cardiologist found that my brother had an extra nerve ending in his heart, and the electrical signals from it caused his heart palpitations.
          
          It was unusual because it typically only happens when a child is 7-8 years old, not 12 when it started, 14 now. So they gave him medicine to try and help and determined he’d stay the night before going to a town nearby to have a procedure to burn off the extra nerve ending (which will begin about an hour after I post this).
          
          I’m already stressed out, but this just made it worse. And then everything in the house while I’m home alone is going to shit. So I also called off work for today. I feel horrible about my motives to get off work originally now when I already had my doubts. I’m worried about my brother. My sister has been really pushy and won’t leave me alone when I need some time to myself. My senior year is started soon and I have no clue how I’ll manage it if online schooling is put into place. I’m exhausted and stressed and letting people I care about down.
          
          What should I do? I need help. Please.

@Lunarwisp it must be hard for you these times. But you shouldn't be too worried for your brother as he's in good hands with medical professionals so he'll be fine. It's honestly good to care this much for your siblings but I'm certain things will work out. Try to relax and not think about this issue too much as stressing yourself won't do any good anyways.

So this has been nagging at me for a while now so I gotta say it.
          
          To those who are here for my Transformers content, I’m currently rewriting ‘I Will Always Return’!
          
          I planned on getting more rewritten before I publish any chapters, so unfortunately, it’ll be a while longer before it’s ready. I felt the original went too quickly, wasn’t up to my standards of writing, and was overall a very... out of place book. So I plan on taking my time with the rewrite, changing things as I go, so it’ll still be a new experience for current readers and new.
          
          I’m already delighted with how much better it is in comparison, and I can’t wait to eventually release the first chapter! Until then, keep an eye out!
