Thank you to all my followers of "Precious Moments Before Dawn" for their brilliant support. For those that are interested in the progress of this story, please read the following updates:

03/08/2011: I have been absolutely stuck on chapter 4 for the past five days. I have written and rewritten this pain in the a* so many times I have lost count. (Sorry for my language as I must vent out my frustrations). Do not fret, my avid readers, as I do not plan to surrender to this vicious and malevolent monster that authors fearfully call-dun, dun, DUN-writer's block. I will get through this chapter even it kills me...or maybe not. (If it kills me then how will chapter 5 be written. hehe) Thanks for letting me ramble. I hope that it will not be much longer until I am to post at least a decent version of chapter 4 soon. Please be patient.

03/11/2011: I've finally finished and posted that horrible thing that is called "Chapter 4". YAY! Hope you have time to read it.

03/14/2011: The tragedy in Japan haunts my thoughts at this moment. Please continue to pray, as I will, for the many victims. Even with this distraction, it seems like each chapter is getter more difficult to write than the last. You may want to place a little prayer for me as well so that I can continue with this story. I think I will need it. My goal is to complete chapter 5 by no later than Friday, hopefully. (Crossing fingers)

03/18/2011: I made it! Chapter 5 has been posted! Yay...now I've got to take a breather...or maybe not. Actually chapter 6 is partly done so I hope that I will post it pretty soon. I will admit that the idea from this chapter initiated the plot for this overall story. So I hope that everyone is satisfied with this chapter.

03/21/2011: I'm having to work out some kinks in Chapter 6 so it may not be posted until Friday. It seems now I've acquired a pattern in my posting so my goal is to attempt posting a chapter every Friday. I'm not really sure if Chapter 7 will be ready for next week or not as I've gotten some constructive criticism about the formal tone in the dialogue between Takumi and Misaki. I may have to take a brief hiatus to reassess my ideas for the rest of the story to successfully make the readers aware for my purpose in this formality. (As I'm just too lazy to go back and rewrite those particular dialogues, sorry)

03/26/2011: Chapter 6 is posted but the scene is not finished like I had hoped but at least this gives me time to wrap up the ending to this interlude so that I can concentrate on the main story. Even though I hate to "toot my own horn" (TOOT! TOOT!), I am excited and proud to have introduced my first OC, Takumi's grandmother, Sayuri. Hope everyone likes her as much as I liked creating her.

03/27/2011: I am still working on my new chapter 7 even though chapter 8 keeps trying to get my attention. Takumi and Misaki is distracting me from wrapping up this Walker reunion as more and more fluffy moments keep popping in my head. As you may have figure out, it seems that I work best when I leave my chapters open for further creative development even though I have already established the general plots. I find enjoyment in placing these new clever nuiances into the chapters like pieces to a puzzle and the result is to stand back and pray that it flows with the rest of the story. But enough about my writing technique, I hope that all my readers will continue to enjoy this story even though it is mentally exhausting for me to write this as I feel the pressure to meet my readers' expectations.

03/30/2011: I really have been trying to work on the next chapter in hopes of posting it Friday or Saturday, but it seems that sickness is preventing me from focusing on this story. I am so stuck on how to end this chapter appropriately. So please don't hate me if I am unable to post anything this week. :(

04/01/2011: For those that may be concerned about my health, I am doing somewhat better although I have been extremely distracted this week. I thought I would have chapter 7 prepared earlier, but I am still stuck on the last scene of the chapter. I am so frustrated right now that I wish I could just go ahead and shoot this dead dog already. But then I reread my reviews and they give me encouragement to persevere as I go through this period of writer's block.

04/02/2011: When I think I'm almost made it to the end of this chapter, some other curve ball hits so I have to rethink about the ending to this chapter again. I just want this scene to be over with by now. (Lets out a loud frustrating sigh)

04/03/2011: After hours of careful and meticulous proofing, editing and re-editing, I gratefully push the "Add chapter" button. Now I sit back, take a long deep breath and wait for my readers to push the "Review" button.

04/04/2011: I keep staring blankly at the blinking cursor of the Word document on my screen. Although I have a general outline for this particular chapter, I have so many good ideas to use I just don't know where to start. I think right now I need to step back and clear my head so that all the ideas can have room to decide where to flow.

04/07/2011: The blinking cursor seems to be a "curse" to me right about now, so pray for my sanity...but I am attempting to survive. So I am currently in the process of trying to piece all the ideas that has accumulated over the last few weeks into somewhat of a resemblance of a chapter. This bronchitis is just wearing me down though. I'm trying to catch whatever available time I have right now to write as I am so swamped with the rest of my so-called life. As I reread the reviews (which I do regularly for inspiration), I am surprised that people loved the statement in the last chapter when Sayuri said to Takumi about Misaki, "She's got spunk." I will reveal now that the sentence actually came to me at the last minute. I need to go now so I can quit procrastinating about chapter 8 that is still staring at me.

04/10/2011: I have been having some electronic difficulties for last few days, so I haven't really felt my heart in writing. I keep reading the beginning of the chapter unsatisfactorily. I am somewhat discouraged with the progress of this story. I am uncertain if my current busy schedule will even allow me to continue writing the same creative caliber that I have previously been producing. (Sighs depressingly) I am disappointed in myself that I was unable to even finish a decent version of a chapter to post, but I would not want to offend my readers with a mediocre piece of work. So I hope that everyone will remain patient as I continue to struggle with completing this chapter as well as try to plan to wrap this story up soon.

04/13/2011: My so-called life has been calling me lately, to the point that I haven't had any personal time to write...or even take a breath. Been so busy I haven't had any time to even think about writing. Now I am at a stand still with this story that I do not know what to do. I am so disappointed in myself right now. :(

04/17/2011: My family has come through a terrible natural disaster that occurred recently. I am having to deal with damage control right now. So my mind is not into writing at the moment. I am unsure right now when or if I will even have time to return to this story.

04/25/2011: I do hope that everyone had a blessed Easter. As one of my loyal readers voiced her concern about my previous posting, this reminded me that I haven't updated my profile of my current personal status. Please rest assure that I am well and in one piece. I had to take an extensive hiatus from writing as my utmost attention is needed for my family. I appreciate everyone's concern for my well-being. Although I still enjoy reading the works of my fellow authors, I hope to return with my next chapter of "Precious Moments" soon. Please do not give up on me.

06/02/2011: Oh wow! I did not realize how long it's been since I've updated my profile. And it's been even longer since I've last published a chapter. I am such a horrible writer. T.T I cannot seem to get myself motivated enough to finish the next chapter. Every time I think I have something great, I reread it and want to delete the whole thing completely. I have fallen into an absolute pit of despair. So I've decided that to think about something else. If you are reading this, please visit my current poll question that I have created and give me an answer as I am curious.

06/23/2011: For those that are interested in the current status of this story, let's just say it is going take a little longer. I am in my fourth (yes, my fourth) rewrite for chapter 8. I couldn't take it anymore. Every time I think I have something I can post, I reread and trash the whole work and start all over again. I could have submitted any of those previous versions to share before, but I didn't wish to cheapen my reader's experience with such inferior works of writing. I am ashamed sometime to think of myself as a writer as I cannot seem to grasp the adequate words to express the scenes that are playing in my mind. Please continue your support, especially now, when my discouragements are telling me to just give up on this lost cause. But I read all the other stories out there whose authors are continuing to persevere, so like they say in entertainment, "The show must go on." I know that you may be tired of reading my rants, but please be patient with me as I hope to reward my loyal followers with another wonderful chapter in the near future. To give a few hints of what's to come, it will be somewhat longer that my other chapters and be prepared to have plenty of tissues in hand. ;D That is all for now.

07/28/2011: I finally published the "official chapter 8" which I am in still shock. I had to find the will to stop rereading, adding, altering it. I had to find the courage to just let it go as I cannot make it perfect. Oh well, at least it is done. You cannot believe the absolute hell I've had to go through the past few months. My busy work schedule did not allow me any creative freedom, then my computer decided to give me the BSOD, and if that was not enough, I found that my backup files for my stories were corrupted. Everything seem to be going against me. I just wanted to scream! But I took a deep breath and decided not to let this get me down. So this published chapter I literally had to write from scratch and I had to write it down the old fashion way, with pen and paper. You do not want to know how many pages of paper I wasted. Let's just say that possibly a forest may have been sacrificed in the creation of this chapter. Now I am beginning to organize future chapters as the ending to this story is very near.

11/26/2011: Wow! My apologies for not keeping those that are actually interested informed of the progress of this story. So many things has come up in my life that has taken precedence over this story. But at least I finally got Chapter 9 published today which is exactly one month after my birthday. YAY! Maybe I can finish this story before March roles around. I intend for two more chapters so crossing my fingers.
