Dear beloved readers,

I worry so much about leaving you neglected for all this time. I am especially terrified that I might have forgotten to respond to your reviews, and if I did you should private message me and tell me to get my act together.

Let me explain, if I can, why I have been neglecting you. I am a senior in high school and college applications are coming soon-very soon for me, as I am going Early Decision. There is a book I have been working on for almost 6 years, and I want to have it finished and published before November 1. Therefore, I have been spending all my time and energy writing and editing so it can be ready for that crucial deadline. Trying to update Permafrost Diplomacy AND Negotiating With a Rapier AND A Light in the Desert is just too much for me right now. But after November 1, I plan to take a nice, relaxing break from original fiction...and return to fan fiction.

Rest assured, my stories ARE being continued and ARE NOT forgotten. I have been playing Evelynn a lot lately and it makes me desperately want to write about her. But I just can't spare the creative energy right now.

So, I must beg for your forgiveness right now, and ask your patience. I will be back...2 months from today. And I will be posting a link to my story when it is published, so you can see what I've been wasting all my time on :)

Endless love,

Eyowyn
