Priorities

Hey all. So as you can clearly tell, my life has been turned around in the last few months. I finally finished my freshman year of high school with a 3.76, so that's out of the way. But now I am over 3000 miles away... In Alaska!

We've been driving up from our comfortable Utah home for the last nine days and we still have seven more to go until we get home. Darkened5ky and Shadowflame are up here as well.

My life has been getting more and more hectic recently: Although school is over for the next few months I have a Martial Arts test coming in July. And let's just say that I'm not very prepared for it. It's my last "color belt" test, meaning that after this I will be starting the grueling, challenging 2-year test for 1st Dan Black Belt. Once that begins it'll be more difficult than ever.

There had also been lots of emotional stress in my family and my friends. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this on FIMFiction, but my nephew, James, has autism. Our health insurance doesn't cover autism, so my brother and his wife have to pay around $20,000 a year for his therapy. It's put all of us into a financial crisis as we barely scrape up enough funds to pay the bills. We're not in poverty, but we are barely able to support ourselves.

Also, last Saturday my girlfriend's father lost his life to cancer. It was so sudden and so violent that there was nothing the doctors could do, and he went from completely healthy to barely staying awake in a few months. His funeral is happening right now, but I can't attend it because we're in Alaska.

To make a long story much shorter, I have my priorities in my life, and writing is "on the back burner" so to speak. It's not that I don't have the time - In fact, I have a Minecraft YouTube channel. It's that I don't enjoy writing anymore. My head is full of interesting ideas for fics but I simply can't get myself to write anything.

Anyway, that's all for now. I've spent a part of my time sitting in the car working on Frosty part 4, but I'm not sure if I'll get myself to work on it enough to finish it anytime soon. I will finish Frosty, but it's a very low priority at the moment so you won't see any updates anytime soon.

If you are willing to donate to my nephew's autism fund visit this page. Trust me, every penny is appreciated.
