Dear Readers,

I am so sorry I haven't updated or even left you a letter, but I have received all of your wonderful reviews.

As of today, I have one quarter of the following chapter complete. And, to be completely honest, I've been slacking off of working on it because I haven't felt the inspiration recently. When I write, I get a spark of an idea, and that's what drives my story along. But as of late, I've lost touch with the Vivian and Gabriel voices inside my head, because of a pesky little thing called summer vacation.

In short... don't worry!

I'm not dead, and I'm not about to give up on this story. I am just not a hundred percent sure when I will post the next chapter. I would love to say one week from today, but that's kind of pushing it. I just want whatever I write and post to be something I'm proud of, instead of just a half done thing just for the sake of updating.

And, while I'm still writing this, I would like to ask that any further reviews be about my story, and not that wretch of a movie I refuse to watch. Everyone who has told me about the movie has told me the same thing. "Don't watch this movie, I didn't like it. It would have been okay if they hadn't decided to name it Blood and Chocolate because it was nothing like the book." So thank you for averting my eyes from all of that, but please, I would like to hear more about my writing.

Thanks again for all your patience.

Patricia
