I think I might make an art book???
          	 I dunno, just kind of a random thought I had. I think it'd be a cool thing to do to kind of keep you guys occupied and remind you all that I'm alive in between the huge breaks these chapters are getting ;vvv; (sorry)

Oh and I might post short stories there too? I dunno. I'll probably make a different thing for that. But spoiler alert: a short story is definitely coming sometime, so look forward to that.

OKAY OKAY OKAY
          I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST.
          YES. I KNOW I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN LITERALLY ALMSOT TWO MONTHS. THIS IS PROBABLY THE LONGEST I'VE EVER GONE BETWEEN CHAPTERS WITHOUT WARNING AND HOLY CRAP ITS FRUSTRATING.
          -breathes- Alright, let's take it down a notch.
          Now here's the story. Well... more like the answer as to why I've been dead.
          To keep it short, ever since September I've felt like I was just stuck in a GIANT rut, especially with my writing. But instead of doing what I usually do and do my best to pull myself out, I just sat there, basically digging that rut deeper with all of the excuses I gave myself to just not write at all. And yeah, those excuses were somewhat valid, but definitely not enough to at least try and write everyday, to get past this damn writers block. And now after nearly two months of doing next to nothing, the guilt is really settling in. As usual. But worse.
          Look, I know most of you guys are patient and don't mind my huge gaps, and my god, I'm just happy you're still here. But you guys really don't deserve to wait this long, and I don't plan on making you. At least not for two months again.
          However, I think I do need to lower my standards a bit. Because it seems like no matter how hard I try, I can never keep up weekly updates consistently. Maybe I will eventually, but as for right now, I think I need to take it slow. I really don't need this to be another stress factor in my life. I mean, I started writing the nuzlocke because it was really fun, and it's just stupid to turn it into something... not fun.
          But... yeah. Just needed to get that out there and to let you guys know what the heck was up with my disappearance.
          As for the next chapter, I am gonna finish it before December even if it kills me. Then if I die I will rise from the grave to keep writing.
          
          I don't know what to finish this off with...
          Bye?
          Sure. That works.

@ambergem16 Hey. As someone else who just got over their own block, all of this is completely fine. You don't have to worry about weekly updates or anything ridiculous like that, and not every chapter has to be perfect. What matters is that you do what you love and you love every second of what you do, because this is a site for young writers to grow and explore, not to tear themselves down to make deadlines.
            Don't stress. Smile. Brainstorm. Take a walk.
            Your fans will be here when you get back. We can wait.

Life update time.
          Yes, I know that I've been writing at a very slow pace lately. It certainly hasn't been ideal, since I like keeping a weekly update schedule, and feel bad for making you all wait any longer than you should. But I knew that the next chapter would be late because of a magical thing called band camp. Essentially it's 11 hours of practice for 5 straight days. And it's only been 2 of those days so far. So no, writing has unfortunately not been my top priority. 
          Now, I'm definitely not saying this as an excuse or anything. I've already given way too many of those before. It's just that I was hoping that I could get the next chapter out before band camp started, and... Honestly I'm a bit disappointed in myself for not reaching that goal. I knew that if I didn't finish, I couldn't post the chapter for another week, but unfortunately my procrastination got the best of me.
          I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry for making you guys wait so long, and that I hope I can really commit to finishing chapters on time in the future. 
          Thank you for all of the patience you've granted me so far.

So. I was tagged in this thing by @Omicron_Link. And since I'm on hiatus I figured I could at least show everyone I'm alive. Essentially I just have to list six things that I say throughout the day, so... here we go!
          
          1. NO.
          
          2. I should really be playing my Nuzlocke...
          
          3. wow there is no food in this house.
          
          4. *laughing hysterically*
          
          5. Where did I put that thing again...?
          
          6. What shall I binge watch on YouTube today?
          
          And there ya have it! Now for the tagging... I guess I'll go with @NotACoolYouTuber and @Aberhem . Work on those Nuzlockes you two!! :b
