Hi guys! Long time no see, huh?

First of all I can't apologise enough for not putting anything up for the past month, life's just been super crazy. So let me explain...(skip the next paragraph if you're not interested in my life...which, let's face it is probably everyone)

So last chapter when I said that I felt ill...I really felt ill. I continued to feel sick for two weeks (so basically my entire school holiday) and ended up going to A&E (the hospital) twice, which as I'm sure that you can imagine wasn't a very fun way to spend my break from school. And since then I've been back at school doing a bunch of work, including biology coursework which is super stressful. So school has been hectic, not to mention the fact that I won a national writing competition for my school, which I didn't find out about until when it was announced in front of everyone (according to my friend my expression was hilarious) and then that kind of took over my life for a few days too. So yeah, everything just got a bit much for me! XD

Anyway, with being so ill and busy though, my momentum with this story has kind of fallen flat... Don't worry, I'm not abandoning it (who am I kidding, you'd probably be glad to hear that I was doing that XD) I just need to re-read a few of the more recent chapters, look over my story plan and hopefully re-immerse myself into the storyline. I just thought that I should explain all of this to you because I've felt so bad leaving you without anything to read. Please don't be too mad at me, I'm trying my best!

I'm going to try to make a start on the next chapter this week but I don't know when it's going to be up, it depends on how long it turns out to be really. I'll try to write fast for you though!

If you want to help out with getting a bit of my inspiration for writing this story again though, I'd really appreciate some feedback on the story so far and any hopes that you have for it or the characters in the remaining chapters. You can be as long-winded and rambly as you like, don't be afraid to just rant because I absolutely love reading long reviews! Tell me anything, tell me what chapters you've liked (if you have liked any, let's face it my writing sucks most of the time XD), tell me about any storylines that you've liked, tell me about any storylines that you'd like to see me include, tell me about any characters that you've liked reading about, tell me what characters you'd like to read more about, tell me about what characters you'd like me to focus on more, tell me which characters you'd like me to leave in the background (probably Coral, I'm guessing XD), tell me if there is anything that you'd like me to try to work into the story, tell me about any character preferences that you have, tell me about anything that you've hated so far, tell me about anything that you want me to stop including, tell me about any character head-canons or ideas personality aspects that you'd like to see me include, tell me about any future relationships you'd like me to bring in and how I would do that, tell me about whether you'd like me to include more drama, tell me if you want to keep it quite light-hearted, tell me if there's anything that you'd like me to change, tell me any completely crazy ideas that you think would never happen but would like to see, tell me your wackiest ideas and please, please, please tell me your complete honest opinion on the story and the way I write characters. Don't be afraid to be awful, I'd actually appreciate it to be honest. And if you don't want to be horrible in a review then just send it as a PM, I honestly don't mind. XD

So to sum all of that up, please leave me a nice long review, it really makes my day when I see those and let's face it, I need the motivation and boost to get writing again. Be as crazy and abstract as you like, don't feel embarrassed, I'll literally read through anything that you put...probably twice. XD

If you stopped by to read this then I'm very sorry that it's not a chapter, I just really haven't been feeling up to writing lately. If you've stayed this long though then thank you so much for being so supportive, it really does mean the world to me. I can't thank you enough for being so lovely and I promise that I'll try my best to get some inspiration back!

Thank you so much for reading, guys! I hope that you've been well and I'll see you soon!
