Hey everyone,

Due to a power outage yesterday that cost me a lot of progress, and some issues getting the chapter to feel right,the new chapter of Twice Removed won't be finished today. I will try for tomorrow, but depending on how well it goes, it may be delayed to next week. Sorry about this, but the power outage really threw off my writing groove. :(

*big hugs to all*

For all of you who read today's chapter of I Wish, thank you so much for reading my work, I love you all.

That being said I pulled a small April Fools joke, by omitting the last paragraph of the chapter. It's there now though if anyone wants to see how it really ends and read the April fools comment I posted at the end.

Here's hoping you can all take a joke, but I'm going to hide from rotten foodstuffs, just in case.

*big hugs to you all*

Hey everyone,

I'm very sorry to have to do this everyone, but I don't think I'll be able to post any story chapters this week. I've spent the last two days so sick that I haven't even been able to get out of bed. I still feel horrible and I don't think that I would be able to write anything worth reading at this point.

Sorry again

Amethyst

Hey everyone,

Just a quick reminder to those entering the Leap of Faith story contest that entries must be posted by 11:59 pm EST on February 29th.

Also, due to continuous problems sleeping I have been a bit slower than usual on my weekly schedule. I apologize for that and am trying to by best to keep on schedule as much as possible. That being said, there will be a bit of a delay on Syryn's Song, since there's a lot of details I need to work out and it will not only be the final chapter, but the epilogue as well.

My apologies to all of my readers who were looking forward to Twice Removed this week, but circumstances have made it so I can't post it this week. I've been unexpectedly busy the last few days and haven't really had the time to finish the chapter. Add to that the fact that I've been having trouble sleeping again the past 2 nights and well, I could push to finish it for today, but doing so would be a rush job and not up to my usual standards.

Hey everyone.

I just want to take a quick moment to thank everyone for their well wishes, condolences and warm thoughts since my recent losses. It means a lot to know that I have so many supportive readers, friends, and family here on BCTS. I'm still feeling the pain and loss, but it's not as raw and everpresent now as it was at first and I've been feeling more myself in the past day or two.

*thanks again and big hugs to all of you*

Okay, so I'm sitting here waiting to leave for the funeral. We don't leave for another hour or so yet, but I've been ready and sitting and trying to shove the anxiety and all the other emotions aside for over an hour already. I haven't slept properly in days again and I'm just kind of a wreck. I was also worried sick about Dottie yesterday after her accident. I could be filling this time with writing or focussing on other things, but I'm just too physically and emotionally drained right now.
