Welp. c:

Not gonna beat around the bush, not gonna whine and shit.

I've been having a damn rough time. College is a major time-taker. To say the very least, stress got to me.
But to log on after who knows how long and see people are still reading..... it makes me want to start anew.
Seriously. Last I logged on, I had a total of 7,690 views over my three submissions. Now I have 7,851. It's not a major increase, but it fills me with a happy joy, that people are still reading for what it's worth.

To start: the idea I had? Where I was trying for 10,000+ words? Bombed. Badly.
Writer's block got the better of it, and I have no motivation for it..... at the moment. I may get back to it. As it sits, it's at roughly 2.5k - 2.8k words.

Have not started on the "Blood on the Snowfall" expansion yet. But the ideas still sit in my head, so I hope to at the very least update the one-off as it sits, if not add to it. Not sure how long in total it will be.

"Rob's New Beginnings" still sits in In Hiatus/Cancelled to me. I can't find any ways to continue it, despite me wanting to. If I find a way, I'll put it out of Cancelled status. Until then, it'll have to stay Cancelled, lest I get my hopes up for nothing.

Now the hard part. Recently, I hit a stumble in college. It's gotten to the point where I'm taking the rest of the current semester - 8 weeks left - off. If I stayed, I'd be in the clinical mental ward. Possibly no joke. But I'm not here to whine or complain about such things as these.

To the people whom I'm SUPPOSED to be pre/proofreading for: I apologize. I disappeared with no trace, didn't leave word of my leave, didn't give updates. Shame on me. Please, if you see this, PM me, as I'd love to get back in touch with you, and possibly continue if it isn't too late...

To LuMe: Not ready yet for our co-write. As mentioned above, college got me. But we'll see about it once I'm back home, okay? :)

To the readers who still read: I thank you all. You've given me my second....... third........
.......fifth wind now? xD Anyway. Thanks oh so very much.

It's 2013. It's a new year, already almost two whole months in! It's time for a change for the better! Let's get writing! ;D

Many thanks to all.

Post-addendum note: You know what? Even with everything that's gone on, and all I've been through recently, I think I'm going to crack open the tome that is "Rob's New Beginnings". It's an idea that I wished to stick through with until the end, and even more than that, my flagship fanfiction for this account. The very REASON I started on this website at ALL.
Chapters 1 through 7 are now considered a part of what I will call Act I. I'll add a simple Title chapter just for this.
The next number of chapters are going to be colloquially grouped under Act II. The update that will go live in a little bit is JUST for this, so expect things to happen fairly soon.
