An Important Message from the Author of Fire and Ice and Curveball!

Okay, so first of all, I just wanna say that I feel horrible doing this. I know how disappointed I get when author's delay stories that I like, but the quality of my chapter's may suffer if I don't and I really don't want that to happen. I hope you guys can understand where I coming from when I say that the chapters will not be released until I can overcome my writer's block. My writing doesn't flow effortlessly like it does when I'm inspired to write, which makes it dull to read. I tried to write today and it lacked the details that I usually include in my writing. I just didn't sound like myself and I know that my writing wasn't up to par, not to the high standards that I set for myself, anyway. I think it's because of all the stress that getting ready for going back to school causes for me.

This may sound dumb, but I'm getting my nose pierced soon. It's adding to my stress level, because, not only is it painful, but it's a drastic change and a lot of things have been changing about me, appearance and personality wise, this summer. You may think this is stupid, but change is hard for me, it always has been. School's always really stressful for me anyway, especially in the beginning because that's when you meet your teachers and you meet new people and you get new classes. I'm not very good with that stuff to begin with, so it's really hard for me to do it. Basically I want you guys, everyone who reads my articles, comments or emails me, to know that you are very important to me. If you weren't I wouldn't put myself out there every week and share my writing, which gives you a look into what's going on inside my head, with you.

You read stuff that I don't even share with my closest friends. Like I said I'm sorry to keep you guys waiting, but I just need some time to regroup and get my stress level down. I should be back in about a week, and in the meantime I'm gonna try to get inspired to write. Who knows? Maybe I'll be back in less time than you think! Sorry for the fact that this is so long and confusing, I just wanted to get my thoughts out there and make sure that everyone knew what was going on with me, plus I'm feeling a little scatterbrained right now. Sorry, once again!
