Hi everybody.
          	
          	My gut instinct is to come on here and apologize for not updating in almost a year. But I’m not going to. The last year has been...weird, to say the least. I’ve gone through two major schedule changes, that have severely affected both my mental and physical health. Because of that I had to quit a job that I actually liked, working with people I love, and that was just the rotten cherry on top of it all.
          	
          	I’m feeling better this week. The hot weather is almost done, I’m reading more than one book a month, my house is staying relatively clean. My sleep schedule is still totally screwed, but better than it was a month ago I guess. So yeah, I feel better in general. Hopeful that this is an upward trend.
          	
          	All of this to say that, I’m trying. I’m really, really trying to write. I’m listening to writing podcasts, reading books on writing, analyzing the fiction I read. And I think I’m getting close. Close to being where I was two years ago. But I’m just not there. Not quite yet. I have a goal of doing SOMETHING for NaNoWriMo, whether that be revising or working on Fading So Brightly or starting a whole new project, who’s to say. I’ll be happy to just be writing again.
          	
          	So please, just bear with me. I know a lot of you understand that life happens, but to the few who are upset I’m not updating- I’m trying, I promise. And I’ll always appreciate all of you for reading my stories.

@paisleypikachu Hey, I won't pretend to know what you are going through, but I will share some advice that someone told me: "maybe the problem is you are trying to go back to the person you were, and that isn't possible, she's in the past, things have happened, you've changed, you've become someone new...embrace who you are now, and find a way to shine your light from there..."
          	  I hope you find the strength to get through this. Take your time, healing has no deadline...and when/if you are ready we will be here to support you and cheer you on...

hello!! <3 pls do not listen to people who pressure you to update! take whatever time you need because you and your emotions are 100% valid and you come before anything else should. just because somebody wants another chapter, doesn't mean you, the creator, should be obligated to. im proud of you for what youve written and accomplished so far!! youre doing great, keep going <3333

Could you please please update. I honestly hate reading a book and then finding out the second one is not even updating. Your book is absolutely amazing and I don't think I'd be able to liiivvee if it doesn't get updated I need to know what happens especially with that last endind in ESL

HI HI HI!!!
          
          Sooooo some of you may have noticed... BOOK TWO IS HAPPENING! Like, right now. I'm in the middle of Chapter Two right. now. For now the title is FADING SO BRIGHTLY, which thematically fits perfectly, but I'm just not sold on it yet, so it's subject to change. It picks up right after the events of EVER SO LIGHTLY, and is going to be loads of fun. It'll be full of all your faves, plus some new POVs(one starts with a B...), new settings, romance, turmoil, and... probably some deaths. Ok no, definitely some deaths. Please don't hate me?
          
          I really hope that if you enjoyed EVER SO LIGHTLY that you'll give FADING SO BRIGHTLY a try! And as always, feedback is SO welcome! This is a first draft that I'm posting as I write it, so it's going to be so so sooo far from perfect.
          
          As always, thank you all so much, from the very bottom of my heart, for sticking around and reading my books. You're all the best *heart eyes emoji*
