Author's Notes.
First than everything, I wish to apologize to you fellow readers and reviewers. Between college and other stuff I've been quite busy and unable to neither write nor upload Chapter 10 which has been ready since long ago. I haven't finished eleven yet… because I faced quite an interesting experience of life.
Have you ever heard about 'Transformational Coaching'? Well, in a nutshell… they tell you that it is a way to enhance your life, to get over your own fears and transform yourself to live in fulfillment, and be able to work by yourself after the 'personal development seminars'. If you're interested, look in google for: "Large Group Awareness Training (LGAT)".
But that is a really illusory way to see it… The harsh and cold truth… it is a way to brainwash you, used by groups that could be considered some sort of sect. This sect in particular was a really nasty one, and I just broke free from their grasp just about two weeks ago... and they woke up a Dragon, and a really grumpy one at that.
But I didn't get out unscathed… I owe to the bank about US$9k to be paid in 3 years. Besides of the money, they toyed emotionally with me… you don't have to be a genius to know that it was not nice… Well. It is kind of ironic to have fallen into their trickery and deceit, since I have been writing this novelization about a False Religion as St. Eva's could be considered. If you are in a bad emotional moment of your life, the chances to fall into any of these sects go sky high, so don't think that by yourself you can go solving every single of your problems, or the ones of other people; that is delusional.
Nonetheless, it is better to be safe than sorry, so take a break from reading fanfics, look up the concept, and be on your guard when someone comes offering you the chance to 'change your life'. Make him trip on his words if need be. Be even a stone… but your mental sanity and your freedom of will is something really priceless.
Well, about the story, it'll come back kickin'… I'm in the middle of writin' chapter 11; after my experience with this 'evil sect', I'm sure I'll be able to put way more feeling in the story, and found a real motivation for myself... one of the things that I really want to do is to finish this story. So, this show still goes on and on :)
Enjoy, and Merry Christmas to everyone!
