Gah-- 3 weeks too many. 
          	
          	I promise this project is not abandoned, I'm just a snail of an author :') 
          	
          	Chapter 39 is now live, and I have officially removed the prologue known as "Before" for not aligning with my vision for this piece. I am excited to come back and edit chapters 1 -3 to reflect this change and provide different/necessary context (as soon as possible). 
          	
          	I hope now that there is no longer such a zoomed-in lens for the beginning of the novel, as this lines up closer to how I want this to impact readers. 
          	
          	Enough of that; I could ramble all day. I'm just reporting in to let you know this is my baby. It's not going anywhere; it just won't be the most reliable for weekly updates. I'll do the best I can! 
          	
          	Thank you for all the support; I couldn't do it without y'all. <3 <3 <3 
          	
          	And as always, Happy Reading ~

Howdy readers! I am happy to announce that Chapter 34 is out now; I went back and forth about whether to make it too long or split it into two chapters. Since I decided on the latter, Chapter 35, which follows, should be out by the end of the week as well! <3 
          
          We are almost complete with our first mini-arc. I am so stoked, and I hope y'all are having a good time with our cast of friends (and not-so-friends). 
          
          From the bottom of my heart, 
          Thank You 
          And Happy Reading

Happy to announce my slump might finally be over. Had to really go back and forth with this chapter a lot because of some reframing from my rough draft. Hopefully it was worth the wait!~

Happy to officially conclude Part 2 out of 3 for TBIA! 
          
          Thanks everyone for being here for the ride <3

Hi Everyone!~
          
          Since Finals are wrapping up for me, I'm excited to dive back into writing and finish this novel! 
          
          Please note there may be some changes to chapters in the next couple weeks, these are just mild grammatical fixes, formatting issues, and properly scouring my piece for the correct chapter triggers. I appreciate everyone for being so patient on these, I just want to make sure I am thorough to protect everyone the best I can. 
          
          Until I have everything updated, I have come up with a draft of all potential triggers that will be touched on by the end of The Beast I Am. 
          
          Thank you everyone for the support <3
