Sorry I've fallen off the updating train since I've been back from China. I've been sorting out some issues that I left behind. Now that those are handled, I'm dedicating more time to my writing. Expect a new chapter by tomorrow!

Hi!
          
          My flight landed last night. I managed to transfer everything I wrote by longhand onto Google since I couldn't sleep. 
          
          I will only be able to post one chapter of Against My Will tonight and another tomorrow night. After thinking it through, I decided not to rush my writing process. While I have three chapters written, I want to edit them before I officially update it in the story. Hope you understand!

Hi everyone! 
          
          This message serves as a life and writing update. I took a few years off from Wattpad and writing due to some personal issues. Near the end of my Junior year, I took a few trips to clear my head. During my last trip, I found myself incorporating a writing prompt that I found on FB with a story idea from a few years ago. This is how Against My Will was born. There are currently 4 chapters uploaded. I intend to continue writing this summer till I finish this story. Maybe then I can return to some older works.
          
          On a related note, as I found my groove in this story, I returned home for a week, where I rested before my next flight. I'm very fortunate in being able to study abroad in China for the next two weeks. My flight leaves tomorrow morning. In typical fashion, I started packing this evening. I've decided to leave my laptop behind because I want to experience China as much as possible.
          
          I'm taking a notebook to keep writing, however. Updates for Against My Will will be postponed till June 4th, when I'll be back and hopefully not jetlagged. There should be three chapters that will be posted that day. 
          
          If you haven't begun reading my new story, I highly recommend it! Any comments and votes are appreciated!

Hey you guys! Sorry it's been so long without any updates. The college process and keeping up my grades has diverted my attention than I would like. If you can, though, there is a way you can help. Help me achieve my goal of providing and improving education worldwide with YOUR vote at: http://t.co/dxyIzDMGF7. It's for a scholarship that would really help me out. If you can, please vote. And you won't have to wait too long. I intend on updating my stories in December. A nice treat for the long Winter season.

Hello, MTFR fans. Long time no talk.
          
          Let me apologize for that right now. I'm sorry that I have been such a horrible and unreliable writer. I have let stress, school, distractions and other priorities distract me from finishing this story. Those of you who have been reading since the beginning have waited long enough. I don't want to hold you up any more.
          
          I've been talking to a few of you and have used your feedback to decide my course of action. I was a little hesitant at first but ultimately decided to continue posting new chapters in December. Before any misunderstandings can arise, let me clarify what I mean. November and December are typically the months were I begin to slack off and where stress takes a tight hold on me. It takes a lot to prevent me from falling- which is a guess as I always succumb and have never experienced much productivity during these months. However, I am tired of making excuses for myself. I don't want to hide MTFR anymore. I don't want to stifle Chloe as I have done for the past two years. Her story must be told and it needs to be told before it's too late.
          
          This means that I will finish editing the chapters I have currently and will start to write new ones. Bear with me, though. I am also working on another novel for NaNoWriMo. It is a story that you may or may not see on Ml depending on how it turns out. But, just know that I want to finish it before 2014 as well. I will do what I can to balance both of them. Don't feel as though I am making an empty promise. I've already commenced and are making plans for MTFR as you read this.
          
          This brings me to my second- or third- point, I am running with MTFR for SOTY. I don't have much faith in it winning. Still, I think it's worth a chance. At the very least, I hope to get new readers, entice old ones or just get feedback.
          
          For now, that is all I have. More updates will be announced the sooner I come to posting the remaining old chapters and the new ones.

Something that happened yesterday made me realize excuses are stupid. They honestly don't justify anything. The amount of time I've spent not writing, I realize how much it's a part of me. When I go without writing for a day, my fingers itch. A week and my heart races. A month and my determination lacks. So you get the point. I'm in a program that requires lots of hours working and studying and pushing myself. But I refuse to go without writing for as long as I have up to now. I'm sorry it's taken this long to realize. But I swear that I will update once a week every Sunday. For now, my priority is HMMF. Once I establish a routine that works, I'll add MTFR to the mix. There's a new chapter of HMMF. The remaining 9 unedited chapters will be edited within two weeks. Don't despair. I've revived my passion and my perseverance. No more excuses. I'm here to stay.
