Life's in the way. · 12:12am Sep 19th, 2018
I now realize it has been a whole 2 months since I published a chapter of 'Life In Boxes', and for that, I apologize. Not only have I been in a horrible state of writer's block for the last month, but I lost my job three weeks ago, and I'll be moving back to Phoenix as a result. These combine to form a perfect storm of not being able to write jack shit. I've actually gone backwards in progress; a week ago I had about 2,000 words of chapter 8 written, but now I've got 300 because I didn't really like what I had.
I've been trying my best to get this chapter to a place I want it, but it's been strangely difficult. To that end, I actually made some progress last night. I dunno, I'm not giving an ETA because I had no idea if it'll be a week or a month until I've got something to publish. Just know I am working on this story, and it will be complete at some point.
This message is especially for my few new followers who have come here because of the Seattle's Angels review. Don't worry; this story won't be in the works for eternity!
>flashbacks to when I thought posting nothing and writing nothing for two months was bad
Nah man it’s understandable
These things... they take time.
The story's awesome, but you've gotta make sure your life is awesome first. Thanks for writing for us.
Tbh, man, we’re getting this for free, you can take whatever time you need. Heck, I follow a yearly-updated fic...
But please don’t do that to me

what breathes lives
what lives is what needs to live
it takes time to both breathe and live. I hope you find some time.
Ah shit, I'm sorry dude. I hope things go on the up and up for you, as they deserve to. We all go through such periods, and if it's anything like my own, you'll surely get out've it. Best of luck!

I'm honestly not too worried about moving back or the fact I lost the job. My parents still live in Phoenix, and my bed is still in the house, so I've got that. I thought this job was going to be what I did for the rest of my life, but a multitude of things ended up making that not the case, so I'm going to pursue the one thing I've always wanted to do, and the one thing I've always felt I should do: flying UH-60s in the US Army.
My grandpa was an Army aviator, and for as long as I can remember I too have wanted to be an aviator, so that's the path I'm gonna take.
You probably worry more than it necesary, many writers takes much longer to upload their stories. But you have decency to explain the reason of the delays, something most people wouldn't even bother.
Be happy with what you're doing and I'll paciently wait for the next update.
