FUMBLING TOWARDS ECSTASY:
Author's Note
Okay, guys… I feel bad granting you all an author's note, rather than chapter 18, but hear me out, k? Tomorrow I am leaving to work at a camp for 3 weeks, and then I'm going to SC for 2 more weeks. I will return home in mid-July before leaving for a writer's camp at Duke University for 2 weeks. Then I will spend the month of August in FL. That's my entire summer right there! My goal was to finish F.T.E this summer and then start my futuristic S&S in August/September; I am not sure if I am going to meet this goal or not. See, I feel awful because I began posting F.T.E. a couple of years ago…and it is still incomplete! I have known since the VERY beginning how I want to end it; it's just a matter of not being so busy and writing! You all have been so wonderful through it all, though. You guys have ALWAYS exceeded the required amounts of reviews for me, and, furthermore, given me confidence and motivation to keep going! This is why I'm NOT going to give up on you; I am NOT going to quit posting. Ever. At least not until I put my stories out there; I owe you guys that much! Besides, I love putting my works up and having your feedback; it's a wonderful thing. So, I'm asking for you all to be patient for me. I am bringing my laptop with me this ENTIRE summer, so I will most likely finish writing the remaining 3 chapters left of F.T.E. My new goal is to either post those chapters in July (when I come home for a few days), or when I'm home for good in the end of August. As for my future works, those will be posted whenever F.T.E is complete. I'm sorry to leave y'all in waiting. If only there were more hours in the day! But PLEASE don't give up on me—I'm just asking for your patience through these next few months. Once again, I am so sorry. This is nowhere NEAR the end of me; I'm writing the chapters as we speak. It's just a matter of no portable Internet access (although I have my laptop, I have no Internet hookup, yet). You get me? I will replace chapter 18 with this note A.S.A.P. In the mean time, thank you all SO MUCH for your support. It means more to me than you'll ever know!

author of F.T.E
diirtyblonde (Mackenzie)—I will have a note for you in my next posted chapter. Just know, in the mean time, that your feelings regarding my writing reflect my EXACT feelings for yours, as well!
