Hey guys!

I know updates are annoying, but you all deserve an explanation for why I haven't been updating.

So I've been going through some hard times lately, and I really haven't had any motivation to do anything. I think it's because I don't have any inspiration for this story anymore. I'm kind of lost on how to get through these reapings, and it would be much easier for my if I could just write from one perspective. I feel like I'm writing the same thing over and over again every chapter, and it's not enjoyable for me, so it can't be for you either.

So you might be wondering, "Are you going to quit the story?"

And the answer is, no. I will not discontinue the story. I've found away to make it easier for me, and it will probably be better in quality, and more enjoyable to read.

I basically had this surge of inspiration when I was creating a character to submit to a SYOT. I fell in love with this character, and decided I wanted to write about her. I never submitted her, so I'm not writing about a character that I have given to someone else. Sorry IVolunteerasauthor, I just had to keep her!

I'm sure you have some questions, so let me answer a few I already know you are wondering : )

Am I going to discard the characters you all worked hard on?

No. Definitely not. That would be very unfair to all of you. I love all of your characters and would never not use them!

Am I going to have the same story line?

Yes. Everything will still work perfectly.

Will the character I created be the winner?

Not the only one ;)

Will my character be the only perspective shown?

For the most part. I can think of only one place where a different character's perspective will be shown. It is towards the end. We can have a pole to decide whose it is!

What will I do with the tribute that my new tribute is replacing?

I don't know yet. My character is going to be a district 9 female. I definitely won't get rid of the district 9 female that was submitted to me. I can promise that. I'll figure it out :)

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to PM me, or leave a question in the reviews, and I will answer it on my profile.

I promise this way of telling the story will be so much better! I hope you all understand. I am so sorry for the sudden changes.

This week is my thanksgiving break, and I have a lot going on. There are some projects I need to do for school, we are going to do things around the house, and I am spending time with a friend this weekend. I am going to work on chapters this week and post next week. I can't wait to share this story with you!

Love you all : )
