"oh wow, ro's alive!! it's been over a year since we heard from her!"
yeah... i'm here... hey?
i know i've been promising to finish respawn "soon" for like... 2 ½ years.... mental illness is mean and makes it hard to write sometimes. then, of course, life had to be all /abcdefu/ and hit earth with covid and my city with a tornado in 2020 (aka, the last time you heard from me). then in 2021, i had 3 separate hospitalizations for my mental health :') ...fun.. my illnesses leveled up and i got a new diagnosis while i was there.
and now, december 2021, i'm being forced into moving back to my hometown. i'm leaving in 2 days. coincidentally, it's the town i lived in when i started writing the level up trilogy... funny how things work out like that, huh...
there are only 3 chapters of respawn left to write (possibly more if I happen to find a loose end that needs tied up). i have everything planned out, i just haven't had the time time to execute it. school consumed my life in 2019-2020, and now in 2021, my mental illness has been too far in the drain to do ANything!
i'm hoping once i settle in at my new house that i can start to work on it respawn again. i have a majority of chapter 15 already written. it's a tough chapter that deals with a major piece of keith's arc so it has proven difficult to get right. but, since i have most of it done, it will be easier for me to finish it when i get the chance. chapter 16 and 17 are things i've been looking forward to and planning towards forEver so those are going to be fun to write.
once i get the time/energy, i'll do my best to pump out those last three chapters for you guys. bear with me. i'm trying my best.
thanks for sticking with this story for the past 4 ½ YEARS (it's been so long since i started level up omg). i love you guys so much and plan to give you the ending you deserve.
love,
rosebud
