UPDATE ON TNA CHAPTER NINE!!!
          	
          	I'm finally back to what I'm used to!!! About halfway through the chapter as of 6;30 PM today! Should only be another day or so before it's uploaded!! I can't wait until you guys read it! Hopefully, I'll get a start on Chapter Ten tonight as well!! 
          	I may be a little rusty. I hope it's not too horrid. If it turns out awful, I'll definitely need to start looking for a beta reader(s).
          	Until next time,
          	-A

Note: (5/1/2016)
          
          Its been a long time.. Even after all this time, I find my way back to my "hobby". At least that's what everyone else thought. Passion burns inside of my cold shell for the rush I get when I write my stories. 
          I've been pulled in so many directions that I feel thin and as stretched as a rubber band about to snap.  
          The last year or so have been some of the most difficult, though I won't divulge that information.. 
          Now, I have time, acceptance, and happiness. (and a computer again)
          I can only hope that though I have promised again and again to keep up my writing, that I can find peace within myself again to do that. I hope to be bursting with inspirtation and a muse like I have been for the last month or so. I've scribbled down countless ideas in my notebooks. Now I can only to bring them to you.
          But that will come over time. I am a slow writer. That is because I can be lazy, I'm human, and I have a life to live, which I won't always spend sitting behind a computer screen.
          More importantly, I apologize for the absence, but upon my first login since the last, I noticed the support for Together Never Again. I saw it had reached 1 MILLION views and cried until my eyes were sore. 
          The feeling I got when I realized that people actually read the words and cared to read more made me swell with joy. That was one of the deciding factors for me when it came to keeping this account. I almost deleted it and saved my writing away on a flashdrive I probably would have lost.
          For that, I thank everyone who has ever read, commented, or followed me here. If it weren't for you wonderful people, I don't know how I would still be here or writing for that matter. Or still have any record of my writing.
          Much love to you all.
          For the hope of return and gratitude that comes from my words,
          I thank you and love this community.
          
          -A.

So, I've actually written today? Yeah, I'm shocked, too.
          
          I've updated a short story and I am currently writing to But, I'm Only Fifteen. I know everyone has been asking about Together Never Again. 
          I'm working on it. :)
          I've tried to start it over and over again, but I keep getting stuck. I'm not sure how to get out of the writer's block for this particular chapter. It's been an annoying problem. ESPECIALLY since I lost all of the chapters I've been working on for Together Never Again. ): I think my old roommate accidentally deleted the chapters, so I've had to start over.
          I have worked on it, and it should hopefully be just a week or two until I FINALLY GET THAT NEXT CHAPTER OUT!!!  It's been irritating me to pieces, and I bet it has you too.
          Plus, my boyfriend has really been helping me get back into the habit, so hallelujah for him :)
          I love you guys! 
          I'm trying to get motivated. 
          Don't give up on me. 
          With all my love,
          ally~*

Long story short, I have an explanation.
          
          I have moved yet again. Back home in fact. I lived on my own for most of the summer, working at least 25-30 hours a week to make what I needed to survive. 
          It feels surreal. 
          I was on my own with my boyfriend for what felt like a lifetime. Now I'm again riding the struggle bus to make a living at home, finish my Associates degree, and eventually find a way to get the money for a car so I can go back to Morehead for my Bachelors in the future.
          
          -le sigh-
          
          And I've yet to sit down and enjoy what inspired me to go into Creative Writing. My hands feel empty.
          Where my brain used to pulsate with ideas, I've been left with a silent void. 
          
          Lastly, here at Wattpad, in a place I considered an escape for the longest time, it seems to be like a long forgotten paradise. As it becomes overgrown with moss, tall grass, and roots protruding through its soil, I find myself wondering what else I could do. 
          Inspiration comes and goes. 
          
          As of late, I can only focus for a short time on an idea. My mind plagued with worries, stress, and the inescapable feeling that I might not ever finish the stories I've posted onto Wattpad. 
          
          And my heart breaks at the thought.
          
          I'm trying desperately to focus, to let go of everything that strikes at my thoughts and simply listen to my imagination. The worlds in my mind that have laid dormant scream to be heard, yet I can't find the strength.
          
          I'm hopeful that soon I will be able to relax once what needs to settle does just that. Here's hoping. 
          
          I'm sorry for such a long/depressing/boring message, but I needed to let you know what's been going on. It's been eating at me. I felt you had to understand why the lack of updates has continued. 
          Again, I feel guilty, but I need to get my life together. 
          
          I refuse to "force" myself to write. Especially when I can't concentrate.
          I love you guys. Hopefully, I'll be back strong soon. :) 
          Raise your fancy glass of champagne and drink up! I'll be back!!!
          With love,
