Okay, I never do this. It's an author's note. I have never written an Author's Note as a chapter so give me a break here.

Why I haven't updated since October:

First, my external hard drive, which has all of my stories (and the completed new chapter) crashed. It was COMPLETELY done and it just crashed... so I was devastated. I couldn't afford the three hundred dollars to fix it and get all of my pictures, 10,000 songs (I'm a music freak), and all of my stories (fanfiction and english essays from high school/stories).

Second, I've been extremely depressed. I hadn't been able to find a job and everyone else around me was bitching about their petty problems and I just got pissed (held it in though, you don't wanna know me when I'm mad).

I know it's like I'm just making excuses, but I'm really not. It's just life. But good news.

Finally, I got a job. Like... on Friday. Only going through orientation right now. Retail is a pain in the ass. But!

What to expect in the next week or two:

Expect a new chapter by the end of either this week or next week. I'm working on it RIGHT NOW even though I have to wake up at 8:30 AM to get ready for work. It's almost 10:30 PM right now and I'm going to write until I'm at least half done with the new chapter rewrite. And then I gotta send it off to Haruka to see if it's any good.

Thank you so much for those who have reviewed the last couple months. You don't know how much it means to me that people still read the story. It actually made me want to rewrite the chapter - make it better than the previous. If you have any ideas at all, send me over a message or write a review for this Author's Note and I'll see if I can incorporate them into the story. There's not many chapters left, but I am thinking of a sequel. It's a big maybe, but it's also a big thing for me because I haven't written a sequel to anything before and I just wanna make it better than the original.

Thank you,
Capri (since I can't do the dots on here because is kind of special that way xD)
