Hey everyone, I'm so sorry for not updating and I really appreciate anyone that asked me if I was okay.

Ironically enough, I've been extremely busy. I know like a third of the people that read my book actually read my little Author's Note but in one of them a few weeks ago, I talked about starting my art business.

Due to my mental health issues, I quit my job at a local grocery store because I was miserable there and decided to pursue my art as a "part time" job or a temporary job at least until college or through it.

I didn't expect much to come out of it but it has. I do paintings and digital drawings every single week, ship them out, and begin new ones. I also have exams next week, with Homework to do Monday-Friday in between doing my artwork for commission.

My older brother doesn't have a steady person to watch his daughter, so I've been watching my niece a lot as well.

My therapist was pregnant and she had her baby last week. I can't talk to her until the 27th... I could talk to her but I won't, she has a newborn baby so I'm not going to bother her. But a lot has happened in a month and I am very easily stressed.

I don't want you guys to think I've forgotten about you, I haven't. I really appreciate that some of you reached out to see if I was okay, that really means a lot to me.

I'm just trying to get to a balanced place so I can update frequently and finish up the book. There's maybe 8-15 more chapters left, depending on where I decide to take it.

The point of this A/N was just to let you guys know why I haven't been updating, I really am trying. I just need to get my business up and running stable and then I can get back to updating.

It should only take a week or two and I'll be back to it.

Thank you all for being so patient and carrying! ❤️❤️❤️
