Should have probably posted something sooner, but...

Long story short I was on vacation!
I went somewhere without my laptop or internet for quite a while. And so despite being not busy with school, no updates.

That said, it isn't all bad news! This gave me some time to do some much needed brainstorming for later parts of the story. I will return to working on Desperate Journals as soon as I post this. Hopefully the next update will come soon(tm). I actually already have quite a bit written, but it doesn't feel quite finished yet.
