So I never imagine I would leave this story so long and I can only apologize if there is anyone out there who was really disappointed by that.
I've been that reader! I know how annoying it is but unfortunately life does get in the way.
This is where I give a very much unasked for and personal account of what I've been going through. If you're not interested then there is a new chapter - please enjoy! But if you are...
I got married rather young, I was nineteen (yes I used my own experience as most writers do for a very small part of Rose's back story) it was a happy but also troubled marriage that ended five months ago.
It ended after emotional abuse where I was cut off from family and friends and convinced it was me who was the problem because I didn't trust him. Stupid in hindsight but these things can happen to anybody! In reality in the space of 3 months he had been talking to another women and even had a girlfriend for a month.
He was a horrible horrible man and it was a horrible time for me in which I had no motivation to write anything or do much. I was heartbroken and embarrassed. But things are getting better and I am back, eager to write the story I've had in my head all this time for Negan and Rose.
Why am I doing this awfully personal authors note you may ask? Well because sometimes it's just nice to be honest and transparent and maybe somebody can relate or even have some questions I could help with.
A long shot, I know but it's nice to get it out however I can!
Thanks for reading my excuse for being MIA for a long hahahaha but I'm very much back and loving writing this.
Your comments always make me so happy but right now would really lift my spirits so let me know what you think of the chapter if you want to! :)
