Hello Darlings,

I know it has been quite some time since I have updated this story at all, and for those of you who have stuck with me, I would like to explain why.

There are multiple reasons for my absence, ranging from writers block, dwindling motivation, and some severe health and financial issues.

The writers block, is in part, because my attention span is that of a small child, and because I stupidly tried to make this story a rigid, planned out narrative. This is always a mistake on my part, because I tend to write much more actively, when I do not set restrictions for myself. The same can be said of any art I create. It is one of the biggest reasons I never do commissions. I need freedom and flow in my work.

The dwindling motivation, while sharing some of the reasons as my writers block, also comes with other reasoning's. I have had severe depression my entire life. Sometimes, this makes it extremely difficult for me to maintain drive, something that's not helped along by my total lack of self worth. I often convince myself to stop trying, simply because I'm convinced Ill never do my own idea justice, or live up to the expectation's of others. Its something I'm working on, but its very much three steps forward, two steps back.

In regards my health... well, I'll not go into it fully, but my health has been on a rapid decline for some time. When one thing is fixed or atleast somewhat managed, something else pops up. This includes both mental and physical health by the way. Again, this is something I'm always trying to work on and improve, but there is only so much one can do when you are not truly in control.

As for financial issues, I am barely getting by, and have been barley getting by for quite some time. As it is, after I have paid my bills, I generally have about $80 left over to pay for petrol, food, and medication (about $30+ ), for the fortnight. As you can imagine, this does little to help with My health problems.

All In all, I am so deeply sorry that I have faltered so completely in my writing. For now, please be patient with me. I will do my best to write when inspiration hits, and not create limits for myself. My quality may be somewhat poorer, and for that I am again, sorry, but my mind is honestly rather fractured and frayed these days.

As well as continuing this story when I can, I am going to start writing lots of little snippets, drabbles, and short stories for things, in an attempt to combat my writers block and tendency to dart from one love to another.

Again, I am sorry for being such a disappointment, and I hope you can all be patient with my flights of fancy and difficulty maintaining momentum.

Thank you for all the kind words and comments, they have helped me more than you know, and stopped me from doing some really stupid things.

With love, Nyura.
