Hey guys, if there are any of you left who actively read my severely outdated stories. Long time no see.
          	
          	I'd lie by saying I've been working hard on new stuff for you, so I won't lie. I haven't been working hard on new stuff, in fact I'm just now getting back into the swing of writing. I'm not even sure if I'm getting into a swing, lately I've just been inspired to write a bit more than I have in the past months.
          	
          	Anyway, I should say why I've been gone. Last year was beyond hectic. Since my last post way back in February of last year, a lot has happened, but I'll save you the boring stuff and get to the real reason I haven't been active ANYWHERE in so long.
          	
          	My dad was killed in an accident the day after thanksgiving. It's been hard, but I'm healing, or trying to at least. And I know, "But that was 4 months ago, you've been gone for a year," and I can explain. Junior year. And next year I'll be a senior. I just got my driver's licence and school is legit driving me insane.
          	
          	Anywho, I'm trying so hard to write good stuff for you guys to read. And like I said in that rewrite announcement on BWAS, I might just relaunch this account altogether. Whatever I decide, I hope you guys can stick with me and be patient with me. My world has been flipped upside down and shoved in a blender. It's so hard to feign being okay sometimes.
          	
          	Thanks, and lots of love,
          	Maniac.

Hi, everyone. I just added a part to Begin With A Spin regarding fanfictions and future plans, so if you'd like you can go check that out. I highly recommend that you do, since it explains a lot about my activity and what I plan to do.
          
          I hope you all are doing well, and I'm so excited to get started.
          
          Thanks!
          Maniac

Hello! I need to apologize for the lack of updates. I'm busier than I thought I would be this summer, but I'm trying my hardest to keep making progress on Imagines and other works. For those of you looking forward to my Bucky/Winter Soldier book, I'm almost ready to start posting chapters, but there are a few decisions I still need to make and a few plans that need to be finalized. I really want this book to be as enjoyable as possible for you!
          Thank you for understanding!

Hello! I'm going to keep this short, sweet, and to the point: I'm terrible at updating. I know a lot of you are waiting on imagine requests, and I should have been getting a lot of them out, but I have been so much of a slacker that it's making me sick. I've gotten a bit busy, but I promise I'm working on those requests! One of the things that I hate about myself is how perfectionist I am; I always want to make these as good as they can get, and that causes them to be released way later than they need to be.
          
          Again, I'm sorry for the really long waits, but I'm working on the requests. xx
          
          Love to all,
          -Maniac

Hello! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am out of school, so updates should hopefully come faster than they have been. I'm also proud to announce that the construction of my Bucky fanfiction is underway, but I won't begin posting parts for a while.
          
          For those of you waiting on imagine requests, thank you so much for your patience! As I said, updates should be coming out smoothly as I have more time to work on them. 
          
          Love to all,
          -Maniac.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you all have a marvelous day as we all celebrate the ones we love and care about. We really do only live once, so let's live it to the fullest and let our loved ones know just how much we care about them, because you never know that what you have is valuable until it's gone. I want to do something differently today, and I know not a lot of people will see this, but instead of giving each other candy and cards (which I know we all enjoy ;), let's just care about everyone. The family that lives far away, the not-so-friendly siblings that we always argue with, our parents that will (sadly) not be here forever, even the strangers walking home or on their way to work, and PLEASE don't forget the homeless people! They might be homeless, but they're still people with feelings.  Today is the day for free hugs, random compliments, and smiling for no reason except to spread a little happiness. Let everyone know (the non-human ones too;) how much we care about happiness, because you truly only live once, so live happily. 
          Lots of love,
          Carie. <3
