Fire and Gold

by GoldenSun.SilverStar

Tris has recently moved to Chicago, known as the Windy City. But it's also known for it's gangs. What will she do when she (or maybe her parents) becomes involved in the feud. With a worshiped family history within the gang, she's taken into their protection when things go south. But will they really be able to keep her safe, or will her stubborn nature get in the way? FOURTRIS!

4. Update Please Read

Hey guys…

I guess I finally decided to pick my head up from shame and give ya'll some answers… Not that they're really important… It will probably make you even angrier with me… So, I'll start by saying that I'm sorry. Really, really sorry.

The week that I stopped posting, I had state standardized testing. My initial plan was to take the week off to get prepared for them (It was algebra, so a lot of preparing for me). But it just kind of escalated from there. Today is my last day of school, but I've already finished all of my work (I'm homeschooled, for those of you who don't know). Anyway, after the state testing week, I had begun preparing for finals which were inevitably a royal pain in my ass.

Finally, I've had volleyball/conditioning starting this past week. Beginning on the 16th, I'll start having practice 2 days a week… Eventually, we'll start fundraising and stuff, which will only take more of my time. And summer. I'll also have camp on the last week of July, then the official season (And school, obviously) will start soon after that. So ugh, so much.

And not that this is much of an excuse (Well, none of these are really valid excuses), but I haven't had much inspiration recently… Like, I haven't even had the inspiration to post. I have one or two chapters of Contingent written ahead, but I haven't posted them because… Well I don't know, I guess… I just don't like how they came out, and I really don't want to disappoint you guys….

So, there it is, all laid out. I'm upset with myself for not telling any of you what's going on sooner, but I felt that I had to just take a break from it all, so I could jump back in full force when I was ready, instead of posting shitty work. But whatever.

Finally, onto what I'm planning for coming up… Not much, honestly… I do plan on continuing Contingent, and I should finish it and post the sequel by the end of summer. Which I absolutely cannot wait for! Now, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to be doing with Fire and Gold. If I do plan to continue it, it will probably be a few weeks. Please review or PM what you guys would want. ALSO, I've been thinking of a new story some… Something supernatural… I'm not sure about it yet, but once I figure it out, I'll give you all the details. Of course, I won't give you much, because that'd take all the fun out of it.

Well, that's about all that I have to say. I should be posting on Contingent on Tuesday, returning to my normal update schedule. And I'm not sure about Fire and Gold yet. So, please be sure to let me know what you think about all of this. I'm going to say again that I'm so, so sorry for not telling ya'll anything sooner… But this was a break that I needed and I'm ready to start writing again! Until Tuesday, bye guys!
