Hi everyone,

I really apologise for my absences recently but there has been a lot going on in my life. Writing has always been one of my passions but alongside university and not being in great health, it has become a second priority.

This is something I'm trying to change.

I will be updating New Beginnings again very shortly and would like to thank my wonderful Beta. With all your support I have been getting back into writing again and can't wait for you to read it.

Lots of love,

L.

NOTE: I try -and I really do- to update very regularly but sometimes, due to my workload, it is impossible to squeeze it in. So if I occasionally go a week or so without posting, please appreciate that I'm going through a busy patch and I'll make it my utmost priority to add a new chapter ASAP. Thanks!

SCARS: IS HALF WAY THROUGH BUT UNFINISHED CURRENTLY DUE TO NEW BEGINNINGS TAKING PRIORITY.

NEW BEGINNINGS: HAS WON THE W.I.P ENERGIZE AWARD FOR BEST WORK-IN PROGRESS IN THE HUNGER GAMES CATEGORY. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF MY READERS FOR NOMINATING/VOTING FOR ME. IT'S A HUGE HONOR. IT'S STILL BEING WRITTEN CONTINUOUSLY AND I DON'T PLAN ON FINISHING IT ANY TIME SOON!
