All right! All right! Everyone can start throwing the tomatoes at me! I know I've been a baaaaad writer and haven't submitted chapter 4 yet! (assumes 'tornado' position on floor)

Okay. Here's the scoop. I know that I said that I would submit chapter 4 around the beginning of December. Well, at that time, I didn't have a job. I had so much free time on my hands, I didn't know what to do with it. So naturally I wrote a story. But.... when I was in the middle of writing chapter 4, a job came along. This job has been keeping me VERY busy and I haven't had the time to write. (I mean REALLY busy....I've been working until like, 7:00 at night most nights.) But there is some light to this story! My boss is taking a 10 day vacation starting this week and I'll have oodles of time to finish chapter 4 and start on Chapter 5. Also, now that I am accustomed to the work schedule, I can budget my time better and will be able to update more regularly. I hope that all my faithful readers haven't disappeared during my hiatus! (gets on hands and knees) Please come back, I beg of you!!!

Okay, enough groveling. And thanks Alan's Only.... for letting me know how much you care...(sniff) F.H.
