So, probably you're all wondering: Where's the damn story?!
I'm really sorry for my sudden dissapearance from this story. I hate it that I've become one of those authors that never updates and looks like I'm going to leave a WIP forever...believe me, I really do hate it.
Anyway, I have part five just about ready to post, but then this huge problem came up about two weeks ago. I have carpal tunnel syndrome, and my doctor says it's really bad for someone my age. (He said no one my age should have a case this bad.) So my wrists and hands flared up in a huge, painful way, and I had to stay away from the keyboard until fairly recently.
When I went to my doctor, he told me that if I wanted to avoid numbness, spasms, even more pain, and eventual surgery, I need to stay off the keyboard as often as possible. Well, that's pretty depressing...I run a pretty popular site that I update every 3 days or so, I write (along with this story, I had 2 others being planned out in the back of my mind) and I blog and talk to friends on MSN and AIM.
What I've had to do is cut out a major part of my internet time, which unfortunately, includes my writing. I know it's summer, but I need my wrists to be in tip-top condition when the school year starts up again in a couple months. And in the profession I want to work in, I need to be able to use my wrists to type.
So right now, the future of this story is uncertain. I've been getting discouraged with all the spoilers and the news about Angel that's been coming out b/c my story is just going NO WHERE right now. Anyway, as soon as my wrists are really 110% (because they still aren't feeling GREAT) I'll try to update with a new chapter. But if I go a while without writing anything, it's because I've really got to conserve my typing-time.
Also, if you want to try and find out where I am and if I'm not writing because of my CTS, visit my livejournal: www.livejournal.com/users/cloudyvisions. If something is wrong with me, I usually post it there.
Thank you for the support though and for the people who have left some reviews asking where I am. I'm really sorry about this, but my health comes first before writing, which should be a "duh" statement to everyone.
