Hey everyone!
So firstly, i am just so, so sorry about how long this update is taking me! i'm gonna be honest and say that it's all still in note form atm - I have no concrete word document of Chapter 18 yet - im sorry:(
Since January, Uni has just been completely insane and literally non stop and over the last 3/4 months, I've had to write 10,000 words worth of essays and i know 3/4 months sounds like a long time and maybe that sounds doable but when you're going to uni four days a week and then working at my job all weekend, aswell as doing other bits of reading and work on top of the essays, its really hard to fit everything in. I had a weeks break in February and I couldn't even go home because I had two 2,000 word essays due in (both worth 40% of my final end of year mark), a campaign video to film and a presentation to do and then straight after those two, I had another 3 2,000 word essays to do (both again 40% of my final mark and one of which I'm writing right now which is due in on Thursday 1/5/14) so this is why I haven't been able to focus on finishing 'As Long As We're Together'
I also have an exam in 19 days which realy does not help with my workload or stress levels at all ahaa
I just want to make sure this chapter is perfect - not only for me but for you guys too! This is the last chapter of my fic (there'll be an epilogue too) and I've had this ending in my head since i first thought of this story so I want to make sure its completely perfect and not do a half assed job of it in between doing my uni work so that you guys are just as happy with it as I am
So i just wanted to write this to let you guys know whats going on with this - I promise as soon as my essay is handed in and my exam is over, I am all yours and you'll get the last chapter and the epilogue - WHEN exactly I'm not sure but i will have completely finished uni for the year after my exam so I'm all yours after that
I just also wanted to say thank you so much to everyone thats still following this story and still leaving reviews- I had someone leave a review the other night (oo Countess D oo - talking about you :D) and it made me smile so much that this fic is still in people's minds despite me being beyond awful at updating but I hope you understand why i haven't been able to. It's not because I don't care about this fic or I've abandoned it - it's just because I haven't been able to give it the time and attention i really want to but as always, this story will be finished!
Hope you're all okay and again, thank you so much for staying with me and if you can hang on in there for an update, I promise it'll be worth it and you might just get what you've been hoping for!
