To all of my lovely readers,
If you're worried that I'm about to put this fic on hiatus, breathe easy; no such problems here. That being said, I do want to explain why there hasn't been an update in quite a while now.
Over the last month, I've been feeling my throat tighten, to the point where I have problems swallowing and breathing. After going to the doctor a few times and a few tests, I found that it was nothing as serious as they were touting: it's just stress. That being said, it is interfering with my day-to-day life, and therefore, some of my current practices are having to change. One is that I'm having to get a full 7 hours of sleep, which severely cuts down my writing time. As a result, I haven't had much of a chance to write the next chapter (or even the next few, as I like to plan).
I am so sorry about this development, and I expect that I'll have much more time to write when the term ends in three weeks and I go into working full time again for a few months. In the mean time, I'll try to keep my brain working on the chapters so that I have lots to write about when I get the time!
Again, I'm sorry, and if I could change this, I certainly would, but until my stress levels come down once again, I'm going to stick to the doctor's regimen.
I hope you all are doing very well, and I'll get back to all of your comments as soon as I can.
With love,
Mel
