i'm back! it's literally been so long and I feel soooo bad for that. I wish I had a better excuse but this school year literally killed me with work and college stuff. but I really miss this so much and to come back like 8 months later to see 245k reads on Alone is beyond amazing. I've seen the comments and I want you all to know that I haven't forgotten about this book at all, I'm hoping to get back into it like when I first started. I'm hoping to get back to you guys with an update sometime next week, I just have to re read basically everything at this point so I can plan out the rest of the book. thank you so much for all the support while I was away! can't want to get back to writing and finish this book, hope you'll enjoy it!
