So, I have been gone for quite a while. A LOT has happened since I've been away, and I wanted to update you guys on what's been going on as of late. Well... I got MY DEGREE!! I went back to school and got my bachelor's in English and Creative Writing!! This past weekend, I actually went to my graduation, and it was amazing!
          
          I have also been working on finishing up one of the stories I had posted on here--The Cities Lay in Ruins! I am currently finishing that up, and it has been going quite well. I'm proud of where it is currently, because I have learned quite a lot in my schooling that I can put to good use in my writing.
          
          Lastly, I have been on the hunt for a writing gig that suits my degree. But I think the writing was really meant for me as someone trying to establish herself in the professional writing world. But I have gained so much knowledge and learned so much about myself, and I think that's what makes me happier than anything else right now!
          
          While I'm not entirely ready to return yet, I am working up to that point. But I leave you guys with this bit: do not settle. Do not give up. Please keep striving and writing! Learn the ins and outs of your craft. Hone it. And finally, love it to the fullest!
          
          Take care, guys!

IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I WRITE THIS MESSAGE.
          
          I WILL BE REMOVING CLIR FROM WATTPAD. I HAVE THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ON THIS DECISION, AND I FEEL IT IS BEST. THERE ARE SOME MAJOR REWRITES I MUST DO AND SOME RESTRUCTURING OF ZENO’S CHARACTER.
          
          TAKING MY STORY DOWN FOR THESE REASONS WILL HELP ME FOCUS BETTER AND MAKE THIS STORY AS AMAZING AS I CAN POSSIBLY MAKE IT. THIS FEELS BEST.
          
          I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS READ, COMMENTED, LIKED, ADDED CLIR TO THEIR READING LISTS! I HAS MADE ME FEEL SO GOID TO SEE OTHERS ENJOY MY WORK. I’M SADDENED TO TAKE IT DOWN AND LEAVE WATTPAD FOR A TIME, BUT I HOPE TO RETURN AND PUT THIS STORY BACK UP IN A MUCH MORE FANTASTICALLY AWESOME STATE SO YOU GET A STORY YOU CAN IMMENSELY ENJOY.
          
          THANK YOU TO THE FRIENDS I’VE MADE AND WHOSE STORIES HAVE HONESTLY INSPIRED ME TO NO END! YOU GUYS ROCK, AND I ADORE YOU SO MUCH!
          
          I WISH ALL OF YOU THE BEST ON YOUR WRITING JOURNEYS. ALL OF OUR PATHS ARE DIFFERENT, BUT WE WILL REACH THE DESTINATION IN THE END.
          
          TAKE CARE, GUYS!
          
          UNTIL NEXT TIME...MAYBE.❤️

          UNTIL THEN, CHAPTERS 1-9 ARE UP FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE!
          
          TAKE CARE, GUYS!

To my friends and readers, I have been away for a long while trying to get my writing in order. I have been combing through pesky paragraphs and in-between lines to check for inconsistencies and such parts that weigh down the story.
          
          
          There have been quite a number of changes to CLIR, but they are for the best. And I do hope to share those necessary changes with you in the future.
          
          Right now, I do not know when that will be, but if you are reading up to chapter 9, thank you so very much.
          
          If you are commenting and leaving helpful feedback, I thank you tremendously.
          
          And if you are giving my chapters stars and votes, because you truly see the beauty that pours forth or leaps off the page, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
          
          For now, I will be working on CLIR, getting these damned chapters written in the most fantastically wonderful way I can. And I hope you’ll be with me along for the ride when I finally post them.
          
          Until then, take care my writer friends and reader friends! I shall return soon.

          Go now! :)

If you’re still with me, peeps, thank you so much!! Fans of CLIR, I know these chapters are long overdue. Unfortunately, I’ve had a few unforeseen events occur, so there has been a delay. But maybe there’ll be a surprise tomorrow.
          
          I’m not telling!
          
          Check back and see if Friday brings goodies!
          
          Take care and God Bless, guys!

          Time...

COMING BACK IS HARD TO DO!
          
          So, guys, I’ve been working as diligently as possible to get these new chapters up and make my comeback, but it has proven a task. I had a bit of a health scare, so that threw me off track. But, no worries! Things seem to be fine.
          
          I will be coming back by next week! That is the goal! Keep reading, commenting, and (hopefully) clicking those stars to show your love for CLIR!
          
          Thanks, guys! Take care!
          
          Until my return! :)
