I'VE UPDATED!!
A warning though. Despite all the delays, this chapter IS shorter than my normal updates.
I've come to a realization. Normally, I'll write and keep writing until I reach about 3,000-5,000 words before I decide to update. BUT! More than once I manage to come up with absolutely nothing to add to the chapter before reaching my goal, and it just ends up delaying everything.
SO, from now on, I've decided to just write until there's just absolutely nothing left that I can keep adding into an update.
I apologize for anyone that this might offend, especially considering the fact that you had to wait practically 2 MONTHS since my last update, but sometimes there's really just nothing else you can add into a chapter. (I also didn't feel like making everyone wait ANOTHER 2 months in hopes that I could come up with something else to add).
In any case, sorry for the wait. I'm not dead, and thanks for patiently (and a lot of times impatiently) waiting.
