Update on the next chapter: I prewrite on google docs before posting, and I use MLA format (12 font Times New Roman, double spaced, etc.) The chapter is 200 pages long 0_0 UMMMMM I think I'm about two weeks behind schedule so that's nice... ANYWAYS one reason why I haven't been getting my butt to work is because I joined the worship team, and today was my first time up there!!! I play the piano and I spent ten hours this week practicing for the songs I play. (I've been playing for a month or so, and I can only do chords and sometimes both hands as long as I'm not singing at the same time!) THE PIANO BROKE. I was standing up there, getting everybody to clap and then about to start playing the piano AND NOTHING CAME OUT WHEN I PRESSED THE CHORD. While the other two members were singing I was searching for some kind of switch or speaker thing to fix it, but nothing helped! Our singer started singing off-key so I just gave up on the piano and came in to keep our singer on tune... After the first song we fixed the piano and I was shaking in my boots because I got really anxious and I just couldn't press the chords!! I kept messing up and getting the tempo wrong, or just hitting the wrong notes and making a really ugly sound... THAT NEVER HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PRACTICING!!! I'm also not used to weighted keyboards (which is what I happened to be playing) because the one at my house isn't like that. You just press it hard or soft and it makes the same volume lol I was supposed to be leading the group basically because I was the one who had practiced the most and I needed to keep our guitar on tempo and our singer on tune so when I failed luckily our guitar player carried us through the song. SO... I wouldn't call it a traumatic experience but it's sticking with me! :D I've got beef with the piano now K RANT ASIDE The next chapter will probably be... (don't kill me) Sometime this month. Not this week, probably not next week... I'M SO SORRY I'LL GET MY BUTT TO WORK I PROMISE!!

Also about the story, donāt you even worry about that. I know a lot of people (.including myself) that just need breaks for school or even themselves. If you ever get a little burnt out, just take a step back and relax for a moment. Youāre great!

Congrats on the worship team! Donāt worry, Iāve been there in the rough times (not actually in worship tho, it was in a concert for my school so it was even worse lol) like last year, I saw two girls in the chorus that was above me (Iām in the chorus now) have a little solo, but THE MIC WAS BROKEN! So in the video I took you couldnāt hear nothing and I felt so bad but itās all ok! When I was younger and in chorus, we all would go off tempo during the concert, and the teacher could do nothing but go along with it. Weāve improved over the years however, as our confidence grew. Now I donāt get scared in audiences! Itās all just an issue of the now, not forever I promise lol. You got this, keep doing your best for God!
