Hey guys!

I know it's been a VERY, VERY long time... I apologize greatly! I know not everyone reads authors notes, but I was strongly with some depression in 2016. I lost the inspiration to write. I haven't told anyone until now, but I have been working on revamping this story. I started re-reading it a few weeks ago and decided Halden's character needs a lot of revamping & the story needs a lot of editing. There was a lot added in that made the story so long that wasn't necessary to the plot, but I just wanted it in there for some reason at the time.

There are already a few significant changes: Halden is now going to be nineteen instead of eighteen & a few other things in regards to her relationship with Scott and Melissa specifically.

If you have any suggestions or concerns regarding any changes I might be making, please let me know! I am entirely open to anything you guys have to say. It's not a guarantee I will agree, but I'll listen!

Key things I wanted to ask you guys myself as I started to second guess some stuff while editing:

1) I was debating about changing Halden's hair color from teal/blue to lilac/purple - what are your thoughts?

2) How did you feel the relationship between Derek & Halden developed? Do you think it took too long? Was too fast? Did you feel that they were falling in love? What were your complaints in regards to them? What things did you enjoy about their relationship?

3) How did you feel about Halden's relationship with Scott? Did you feel they were too strained or was it annoying? They are now going to be having an age gap of 3 years instead of 2, but they haven't seen each other in over 6 years. There will be changes in their relationship, but I haven't gotten far enough in my editing to where it's significantly different.

4) Also, I personally found some of Halden's more deeper thoughts to be a tad too angsty. It might have been because I was depressed while writing it and was channeling all that into Halden's character; there would be like 3 paragraphs of how sad she was. She's still going to be the same type of person, but I've been able to cut down the paragraphs in a way that I believe effectively demonstrates how she feels without the length. I am wandering, what flaws of Halden's did you find most annoying? What about Halden do you value the most?

Thank you for all your support and for those that still comment demanding updates. It's definitely has inspired me to start writing once more.
