Hey everyone! I know what you're all thinking: I haven't updated in an eternity. My sincere apologies for that will never be enough for you to forgive me, I realize, but I have a reasonable explanation.

First off, my life has been super hectic. Sophomore year has been, so far, the most vigorous of any other grade for me. Ninth grade was fairly difficult, too, but I'm now piled with a more ridiculous amount of work than I was last year. I spend eight hours of my day at school, and then at least two hours after school additionally for studying.

My desperate yearning for Thanksgiving break is pathetic.

And not only that, but I'm exercising at my gym three days a week, if not more (shedding the unnecessary pounds!) What time is left after all that I spend with my family and friends. I mean, do you blame me? They need my attention, too. I'm probably going to get a job soon, as well, so I can save up for a car. My life is insane!

Secondly, when I do have free time to write, I sit down on my laptop and type up my current and first book. My dream is to become a published author, and I am determined to finish writing this book by the end of this year. I'll probably have several issues publishing, and I might not even publish this book at all, but I'm still going to try my hardest because this is what I want most in life. But I do believe in myself; I know I'm a talented writer.

Finally, to add onto above, I need to focus on my future career by writing novels, not fan-fiction. Anyway I'm beginning to grow out of it. But fan-fiction will forever have a place in my heart, and so will my stories, because that's what really helped me grow as a writer. It's improved me, and all of you wonderful people have made me so confident in my writing that it's unbelievable. I thank you all for that so much!

But this is why I am no longer going to write for my stories. I absolutely love my stories. They have been a huge part of my life for at least two years now—well, the Third Child of the Fire Nation has—and I will never forget them. Although I can't finish them, and I am sorry for that. I need to move on so I can start to build my future.

I am so, so sorry to all of you for not giving you an ending to either of my stories. Honestly, I am sad myself, but I know I am doing what's right for me. I would wrap it up for you guys suddenly, but with my two stories that'd be impossible. I will not be deleting my stories or my account yet, but I will sometime in the future most likely.

So, I encourage all you lovely readers to use your imagination and think of your own ending to either I Won't Give Up, Third Child of the Fire nation, or both. Make it happy, tragic, however you wish, just as long as you feel closure. And again, I am very sorry.

To end my final addition to fan-fiction, I'd like to thank you all. Thank you for reviewing, for waiting for my updates, for favoring and following—it's meant so much to me. Your kind words and feedback about my writing has helped me immensely with my writing. I honestly hope you guys can forgive me for leaving you all so sudden without giving you any ending. But knowing how amazing you guys are, I know you will.

Bye, y'all. Hope you enjoyed reading just as much as I did writing.
