A/N: First of all I'd like to thank all of you who read my stories, review, and have stuck with me through the long months that I haven't been able to update. I put a similar message like this in my other profile, BluePotterFan24. I made this new profile because I didn't want one of my friends who writes on here to know who I was because it made me nervous. But she knows now, so it doesn't matter. I'm sorry for not updating very often. I know that as a writer it is my responsibility to make time to write and update and I have no excuses, but I just can't. Whenever I first started writing on this website it was four years ago, when I moved here from my previous home in New York. I had never moved before in my life and it basically felt like I left everything behind and there was nothing here for me. I had always enjoyed writing and when my friend told me about this site I started a profile because I needed to get emotion out. But here's the thing, I still love writing, but I don't have some of the desire and loneliness that I had at that time. I have softball now, and a community theatre company where I can act and be myself without worrying about people judging me. I am so busy now, and a lot of people told me that it's no excuse, that they are just as busy as I am but they still update. That may be true, but here's the difference. I'm busy doing something that I love so that I don't NEED writing in my life every single day and I have something to belong to. Trust me, I'd love to just sit in my room for weeks isolated from the world, throwing myself into new chapters. But I can't. I haven't made any promises that I've broken; I knew that there would be gaps between updates. I actually know for a fact that I have a chapter (somewhere) written for Beauty and the Freak, I just need to find it. I will try to update soon. I am so sorry, and thank you so much. I love you guys for being patient with me. Please keep reading and REVIEWING, and once again I am sooooooo sorry.
Love,
