Dear Readers/Reviewers!
This isn't a new chapter. Sorry guys.
I know its long but please read till the end. Important announcements.
Its been a VERY long hiatus so I just wanted to give you guys an update. Um, so here's the deal: I had given up on this fanfiction. I was NOT happy with the way it was going and I was writing myself into a whole that I couldn't get out of. I think I had a total of like 14 reviews and they were bringing up somethings that I hadn't thought about. Like the consequences of Siobhan and the other characters actions. (Where I'm from {i.e. Kentucky where the back roads are so isolated anything goes] many people get into fights and that sort of thing without any police involvement or anything like that. The people hear are all about pride so if someone gets their butt kicked, they don't run to the police, they go get some friends and come back. Where I'm from consequences are few and far between.) I hadn't really thought about anything besides where I wanted the story to go. I came into this thinking no one would read it and I was just making it up as I went along. No idea of a plot line, No idea of the events that would happen along the way, No characters (other than Jesse, Rachel, and Finn) set in stone. This was my first fanfiction and it wasn't going well.
I also began my first year of college (which has been the hardest year of school of my life) so I haven't really had much time to write, between classes, work, and trying to find time to spend with my family and stay in shape.
Bottom line is this: I was experiencing writers block and it was not fun. I was all out of ideas for the story and I was in a place that I had to get out of carefully with the story I had already written. I'm still not sure what I can do to dig myself out of it but I'm going to try.
This is my return to fanfiction. The story will continue as soon as I can come up with a way to fix what's been done.
I had given up on this story but I logged onto fanfiction looking for something to read and just decided to check my story stats. I had 55 reviews and they were all so kind and so encouraging that I started to tear up. Thank you all for your kind words and thank you for making me think before I publish. I should have been thinking about where the story would go instead of what would make for an interesting chapter. I can not thank you all enough for the encouragement. I have always loved writing I just never thought I was any good at it. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and leave me reviews. You will never know how much it means to me. The reviews are what made me decide to start writing for the story again. I can't say thank you enough. You will never ever ever know how much all of you words have meant to me. I haven't had one bad comment and I thank you so much. I'm just starting out and you all have been such an inspiration. Because of you I'm writing again. Thanks sooo soo much.
I can honestly say I love all of you readers and reviewers. Thank you for everything.
Sincerely and gratefully,
Ashley.
