LO SIENTO!

I know, I know. I've made so many of these "apology author's notes" that someone should just take my laptop away from me. I'm surprised all of you have stuck around and it amazes me that you have. As I might have mentioned before, I wasn't in a very good place last semester. As a lot of you might know as well, that feeling doesn't just go away. I hope it will for good someday, but it's something I have to work with and deal with as life goes on. Thankfully I've been trying to keep positive and change up my routine which has actually helped improve my mental state. (SAD can be a pain as well as any other mental issue)I'm also giving myself more opportunities to write and I've been trying to become better at this craft because there is always room for improvement.

In short, I cannot tell you guys how sorry I am for letting time slip by and I apologize for not being as speedy as others with the updates. I want the end of this fic to wrap up well and so I'm pushing for quality. For me, that can take time. But, with that being said I am actually doing a good job of catching up and my muse for writing is coming back stronger each time. Thank you all for being so patient. thank you for all the good comments and constructive criticism as well as adding me to favorites and alterts lists. You're what's motivated me to continue these fics and continue writing in general.

So, to thank you for putting up with my crap, I'm trying my best to work extra hard to get this next chapter up during or before Thanksgiving break! So anywhere between 11/19-12/1 (I know it's a bigger window but it's me we're taking about) I will not let this become a dead fic. And in the wise words of Katara, "I will never turn my back on [fanfictioners] who [want updates!" Girl scout promise!
