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, don’t 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. You’re great!

Congrats on the worship team! Don’t worry, I’ve 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 (I’m in the chorus now) have a little solo, but THE MIC WAS BROKEN! So in the video I took you couldn’t hear nothing and I felt so bad  but it’s 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. We’ve improved over the years however, as our confidence grew. Now I don’t get scared in audiences! It’s all just an issue of the now, not forever I promise lol. You got this, keep doing your best for God!

Did yall see the new mermaid tales at the end where it showed the wolf mask?

LightningTrail

@idk-9871 holy crap I did see that! I was so pissed off because I couldn’t figure out what it meant lol. The character was all black so we couldn’t see their hair or clothes or anything!! And then I went back to the teaser to analyze the mask a few times, and everything is the same except that big red scar on it, which confuses me even more! Now I have no clue what it means, or maybe the mysterious mask person was originally from mermaid tales? AHH IDK AND IM MAD ABOUT IT!

Did we seriously just go from 3k reads to 4k reads in 3 WEEKS?!
          Ummmmm what the heckity should I be scared /j
          (It felt more like one week to me but I checked and it's been 3 weeks... yeah I was counting- so what?)
          It's still just surprising to me since the official season 7 is coming out soon, and this fic isn't anywhere close to being finished- but I WILL finish it, don't worry!
          Just... wow...

Nah, it’s only uphill from here!! Congrats of the views! Ppl will definitely start flooding in to read your work

I'm writing the next chapter right now and getting slammed with a wall of nostalgia... I started crying while writing because I just remember how much I used to love Aphmau's series, and to write the next chapter I've gotta go down memory lane.
          Speaking of the next chapter, it might take me a little longer to finish, and there's no promises it'll be done by Wednesday.
          (At the rate it's going, I'll expect it to be around 20,000 words long!! Or maybe even more! Who knows?!)
          But hey, if I'm going to be crying while writing then I guess that'll get me into an emo angsty mood that'll produce more plot twists so I can cackle and not be in an emo angsty mood anymore :D

s1llyBerry

I just watched the Knights of Guinevere…
          IT WAS SO AMAZING!!
          But then I was reminded of The Owl House and fell into depression -_-
          Whoever cancelled that show messed up big time
          I’m tearing up just thinking about all the missed opportunities and storylines that were never finished as I’m typing this lol
          AN OWL HOUSE FANFICTION?!
          Jk I wish but I don’t got the time or the patience
          
          Also for my story it took a turn that I didn’t expect but am definitely embracing! The idea came to me at 4 am lol. Because I needed Aph to be more uncertain about herself and her past and I was like… you know what?! She’s healing a cursed soul! And she’s literally healing something like blindness! So it’s like a trade! AHAHAHAHAHA-
          My sigma editor read chapter 39 and thought Aph was turning into a werewolf or getting her werewolf stuff taken away or something >_<
          Anyways I’m almost done with volleyball season so after that I SHOULDN’T have too much trouble getting chapters out!
          (Until…. Everything else starts up again in Spring… gulp)

@idk-9871 just because you think you don’t sound good doesn’t mean you shouldn’t sing! It’s scientifically proven that singing makes you feel happy and it relieves stress. It’s therapy for free lol

Your bio made me laughed especially when you referred the new Aphmau Channel content as cocomau also I’m not sure if you know this or not but Aphmau on her second channel called Aphmau Diaries (Yeah she keeps rename it I think this is the third time) there are like maybe two Roleplay videos about the Mermaid series not sure if it’s a sequel or not but yeah additionally I think that’s where My Street Season 7 will also be releasing once the exact date is known if you are still interested in watching her that is. 

s1llyBerry

@LightningTrail I didn’t think I’d like it at first and the constant feed and media probably would’ve ruined it for me if I stalled for too long, so I see where you’re coming from. But honestly since you enjoy the chaos of Aphmau and Mlp I do think you might enjoy it! (The plot was also lowkey pretty good and I appreciate all the songs except for Sodapop!)

@s1llyBerry i  personally don’t like K-pop demon hunters. I haven’t watched it and don’t really want to, but the songs infiltrating my mind constantly might make me cave in and just see what the whole thing is about. At least then I can decide if I actually don’t like it (also sry for not responding, I was eating dinner)

s1llyBerry

@LightningTrail Everyone in my class loves K-pop Demon Hunters but admitting it will get them to blast Sodapop until somebody crashes out (usually my friend who can’t stand that song- just like me lol) I sang Golden as a joke and didn’t have a voice crack during the high part for once (my classmates always either go head-voice or just choke) and they told me I wasn’t the main character… like bro it was a dare chill out

I'm lowkey messing with bot comments on my story if you see me replying to them don't worry I'm not going crazy- I'm just trying to put the randomest things I can think of :)
          Banana banana banana like pillows are made of bananas and dreams are made of bananas and if you ever think of the summer slide like I always imagined the summer slide to be yellow but it's white on the inside part so you can see the person going down so it's not a full tube because it's only half... wait does that make the summer slide a banana split :0 banana banana banana
          Okay maybe I am going crazy

            "@s1llyBerry Haha that reply just made my brain do a double flip love the chaos! it actually gives me wild abstract art ideas, like a sketch of a dancing mouse-train. Ever thought of turning that kind of randomness into a scene?"
            
            "banana"

I’ve been really busy… I want the next chapters to be really high quality since that’s what I’ve had in mind for the past 3 years of my life, and it was supposed to be super awesome and stuff! Now that we draw closer to those more important moments of the story, it kind of seems slightly anticlimactic when I try to write it -_- (I’ve trashed four drafts already) So… that’s that…
          
          AND guess what?!
          
          I restarted up the youth worship team at my church and I’m learning to play the piano for it :3
          
          Bro I wish my hands weren’t tiny… I can barely reach the chords X(
          
          ā€œIs that boss music I hear?ā€
          
          B#m7 has entered the chat
          
          Okay so all excessive yapping aside- if there is no chapter on Wednesday, it’s because I really want to make the next chapters good, so I might delay them due to lack of time. Thank you for your understanding and have a nice day/night!

@s1llyBerry I play guitar but I never did that for my church. As I said earlier I was way too anxious, so I didn’t even bother playing.
