Hm. Where to begin. Sparing the menagerie of bull that the last couple years brought, I’ll say a bit about where things are now. I moved out, me and my two floof gremlins that are screaming and clawing at my door right now for breakfast and attention, getting only just a bit out of family politics. Recently though, I got super hooked on D&D, Critical Role specifically and it’s brought back a passion for storytelling that I’m desperately trying to revive in writing. The work going into Sword and Shield has doubled, which also means so many retroactive corrections need to happen constantly that I’m not comfortable with where the first three chapters are quite yet. That being said. Hi. I’m still here, still alive, still love you all so much. Sorry I haven’t been around lately, but I hope the time’s taken you far away from 2020. I hope to have more to share soon <3 -KG

Also, got my nose pierced. So that’s something I have the experience to write now  for all y’all who need to hear it, don’t let the ADHD demon tell you it’s been long enough to try and switch the piercing. It most certainly has not been long enough.

So instead of writing I spent all day getting Micha and Marley together in the sims, not realizing that while I was essentially snickering “now keeeesss” at the screen, Grace and Ana (who had no history at this point) started flirting with each other. This has absolutely 0 relevance to anything, but I’m laughing (a little hysterically ignore me) about it so ‘ere ya go

Well. Found myself with a lot of damn time coming up. Been doing some good work on Sword and Shield (honestly it could use a better title at this point), so hopefully I’ll get that polished and cleaned up so I can work on progressing it instead of picking up after it. Anyway. Mental health stuff is happening, and while I’m so very grateful for my support, it’s exhausting and ongoing and a messy god damn shitshow and for those of you who are still somehow around after my massive hiatus, Jesus Christ why and how and for what purpose and thank you. Really thank you. Again. I wish I had more words. I’ve had a Shit day and a comment made me smile. God I miss it. 
          
          Hope y’all are safe, and if you have something to hug  (preferably a pet or stuffed animal, given the ~global climate~) that brings you that good ole happy brain sauce, give it a hug for me :) -KG

@ZephyrHeart you are an amazing author so no wonder people stay around. I love your works, night school was the introduction and that was one intense introduction :) I hope it goes better for you, I'll bear hug my cat and you can channel it

I don’t know what’s happening but in the last three days I’ve seen my new reader count, votes, and comments absolutely SKYROCKET and guys my life is a mess rn and this is just— 
          
          Hi, I guess, to all you new people, and to everyone who’s somehow stuck around as I figure life out in the corner, it’s so, so awesome to see all you your engagement and I am trying so so hard to get something done for you guys cuz it’s been so long and you all freaking deserve it. 
          
          ..... but I’ve been struggling with blank page syndrome lately and I’ll ask you guys, how do you think the Night School should start? Keeping in mind it’s gonna be set in college now. Idk, I’m just like..... it’s so cool to see my stuff gaining traction again and I want to be able to rise to that. 
          
          All the love and well wishes guys you don’t know how much you mean to me <3

But maybe just make marley having a tutor apart of a previous year or semester so you don't have to expand much on it, just make it so they're familiar w one another.

@ZephyrHeart hm hm that's a tough one haha.
            
             I forget what your plans were for Megan, wasn't she supposed to be a yoga instructor ?  Maybe grace forces marley to go to yoga with her because she gets a free coupon, and then obviously megan is the instructor (if that's what you planned) or maybe also taking the class, they bump into one another briefly (asking for directions/ something similar.) Later on, grace meets hazel, and of course believes she's megan. 
            
            Marley needs a tutor, and is paired with Megan, and grace never explicitly meets megan, (i think i just remembered you changed her name lmao) they're going to some sort of event and bump into megan (concert, yoga, something of the sort)  and grace and marley run into megan. They dink around and catch up for a while (grace is somewhat absent from convo) and then, she meets hazel.
