Hey everyone!!! I hope you all had a happy New Year and a merry Christmas, and are looking forward to seeing how 2025 turns out ^u^
Hopefully you'll be happy to know that I'm working on the chapter again! I've surpassed 1000 words, but that's including a lot of my notes and I'm not even halfway into the main section of this chapter. It's going to be a slow one, unfortunately...
I hate having to delay this so much from you all because I know you started off reading a chapter every week, and it scares me to think you may lose interest over time or not be as immersed in the story as you'd be if everything previous was fresh in your mind. But even so, I hope you're still enjoying Harmonies of the Heart and are excited to see what comes next for Jake and Hailey :) I'm excited for you guys too.
If I'm being honest, I've recently found it quite hard to feel like I belong in the tmf community, even though I've been in it for almost five years now and it's like, the biggest special interest I've ever had. I just find that many of the flaws are getting me down about it overall, and not many others in Rosy's Mystical Meadow really seem involved now. Granted, we haven't had a new episode come out in a year and a half, and it can get tiring waiting, so I understand that. But the lack of sense of community I'm feeling right now has also been part of the reason that continuing to write has been difficult.
But, I'll keep going anyway! I really do think this story is worth sharing and I know you guys love it, so it's important to me.
Thank you for listening to me rant and explain my point of view as a fanfic writer lol. It feels nice to have it known by those who should know.
