Why I haven't updated some of my stories.

First: I have focused on AC:E and want to get at least three chapters out. (Chapter 3 feels like it might be a little longer than the other 2.) In this summer I wrote almost twenty thousand words if not more. That is a lot for little old me.

Second: I am in a cast. Not one of those nice ones where you can walk either. I have to keep my foot pretty much at a horizontal position. It sucks. I can barely sleep and have you guys had ankle surgery? Fusing the ankle together is a long and painful process. Like I was on morphine for three days after having my surgery. Another question have you guys been on morphine? No- it is extremely addicting. And I was in a lot of pain. My mental state has been pretty grumpy for the last month. And I have one more cast and then I get a boot that I can walk on.

And relearning how to walk is humiliating. You want to know how bad it is when you can't control how your foot reacts to stimuli? Put it in a cast for a few months and see how sensitive it is.

Third, my house has been having internet issues for almost a week. Or at least I have- my mom has no problem with playing her facebook games and I have issues with even typing a few hundred words without the connection going out on me. The internet has been going in and out for a ridiculous amount. So Fragile Crystals updates? Not until I get a good internet connection to stream anime for longer than twenty seconds. I hate not updating stories. I also want to update A Learning Experience (and I have some ideas about it) soon but that means I have to reread what I wrote. (hey don't knock it til you try it. It helps with building a cohesive story. Plus, why is that story so liked? I like it but it just confuses me when I write stories quickly and they get super liked. (TS;AS 27 likes and 3 dislikes? Animation Corps:Entropy 8 likes and 6 dislikes. I spent a month of almost not sleeping to learn about what I was crossing over. Must be head canon stuff or the weird storytelling.) It just creates this expectation for me to not mess up. Like it is intimidating. If I put a plot twist or something I feel like I'll lose my readers. And I thrive on plot twists so I'm worried with.

I haven't been depressed or self-depreciating enough to rewrite the Death of Loyalty.

On other projects I have to finish more. And school seems to give me a good amount of time to work on it. Try balancing writing and college plus a work study. (Now I'll give that working in the computer labs is more like being a security guard cause I didn't do anything that involved working. I did more computer stuff training for the job than anything.) I wrote mainly on weekends. No life but hey better than getting a hangover. (And yes I still know how a hangover feels. I wrote Celestia's Sun Problems from experience- plus I still had enough of a hangover for it to seem like a good idea.)
