Alright, thanks to the 13 people (as of now) potentially reading this.
          	
          	I'm ecstatic to say I'm officially back to writing regularly. I tried to make a schedule for myself back when I first joined Wattpad in order to post as consistently as possible, but that vision just doesn't fit the mold of my current life; things just got messy with inconsistent schoolwork and extracurriculars, to the point that my writing had to be done from midnight onward, which usually left me with 5 or 6 hours of sleep every night. Now that the school year is finally winding down, I can work on finishing April Showers (even though we're well past April) and start up on some new projects I've been excited to put out. I hope this summer, while still busy, can revitalize my consistency, and give you all some stories that'll make you laugh, leave a pang in your chest, or just serve as a personal testament to how much I've grown as a writer.
          	
          	Thank you all for your time, support, and stories that continue to motivate me to leave a mark on this community.

@OnTheCase_2 How come I'm just seeing this? Yeah, I totally understand. Maybe next time, you could have some of your writing already pre-written before posting so that when life gets too busy, you can just post something you've already prepared beforehand. That's how I try to stay consistent. :)

@OnTheCase_2 That’s so relatable, before what happened on my end—my life and school schedule was very similar to what you just described. I’m really excited for this school year to end, and for April Showers to be finished! I want to read it when it’s done so I’m not left hanging lol. I love your writing so I’m looking forward to it :D

@Sp33dySam Meant to write you back sooner, I've just been busy. I'm stressed but grateful for the things life has thrown at me, since it's shown me lots of small conveniences I didn't realize I was taking for granted. Plus, it's given me plenty of time to brainstorm ideas to add to my writing. Thanks for the check-up once again, and though my time spent on Wattpad has been scarce, you've really made it clear to me how great this community can be.

@OnTheCase_2 No problem man. I feel you, I thought when I got done with school, I’d have more time. But it seems the opposite has happened XD let me know if you ever need prayer or want to talk to someone about anything :) God bless you too :D

@Sp33dySam Just got back onto Wattpad for the first time since school got out. Haven't had much time to write even though it's summer, but it's been a relatively busy and stressful time for my family. Still grinding when I can.
            
            I really appreciate the check up, god bless.

@creative_ben Of course. I decided to check out you, Chase, and Sp33dySam's conversation over on your profile. You guys are hilarious together. Safe to say you earned this one.

Hey how you doing? I’ve been waiting for the chapter release but it never came.. no pressure of course :)

OnTheCase_2

@Sp33dySam Right, didn't end up being able to cram it into one week like I thought. I appreciate the check-up.

Sp33dySam

@OnTheCase_2 Okay it’s no problem, was just wondering since you said you wanted it down by the end of April.

OnTheCase_2

@Sp33dySam Don't worry, it's undoubtedly been delayed and I hate being so inconsistent with my posting schedule, but I can assure you it will get done.

I hate to say it, but the fourth chapter of April Showers will not likely come out tomorrow at 8:15 as per usual. I've been extremely busy, experienced some metaphorical rain myself, and feel that the current quality of the chapter is unacceptable by my standards, so I'm inclined to spend an extra day or two to make sure this chapter lands the way I'm aiming for. Either expect it to come out on Thursday or Friday, and I'll do my best to make sure that the final chapter of April Showers can be released before the end of April (It's called April Showers after all). Thank you for all the support, hope this story can be a small sun in some people's days that I know I and many others need.

Sp33dySam

Totally valid reason. I’ll wait an extra day or even a couple days for a chapter if that means it’ll be better quality. No rush! :) I’m excited to read the book soon.

I appreciate your support. I've been extremely busy recently, so it's been difficult to find time and energy to continue writing, but it's stuff like this that keeps me motivated. Good work staying consistent with your story as well, I'm finding the scarce time I have to try to stay caught up. Hope you know your comments go a long way.
