Update
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, but I'm not sure when the next chapter is going to be posted. I've been struggling to write it for the past couple of weeks. Burnout is trying to set in and I'm doing my damndest to beat it back. It does, unfortunately, mean I might be writing a little slower. I've also been dealing with something stressful irl and trying to get that organized. I'm also gonna be out of town next weekend (weekend after 4th of July), then have more family visiting the weekend after that for 10 days. Mandatory doctor and dentist visits for the kids before they start school again in August, which the youngest is starting for the first time. Summer is busy.
To be clear, I am still writing chapter 16 actively. I've got a good 5K words in scene one. But it's not finished. And I will post it when it's done. My brain is just fried at the moment with the stress of life.
I'm sorry to everyone who were looking forward to this chapter and the following chapters. I'm not putting the story on hiatus, just slowing down a little. Once Act III is complete, I'm gonna take a bit of a break to breathe and write without the stress of a deadline for a little bit.
I appreciate each and every one of you, and I miss reading your thoughts and theories on where the story is going, etc. Y'all are absolutely amazing and I appreciate all of y'all's patience as I try to get my life together and beat burnout. I WILL NOT be abandoning this story. Fuuuuck no! I love this story way too much to do that. Also, I like to torture myself by picking a long ass fic as my first fic...
Anywho! Thank you everyone again! I'll get the chapter out when it's done!
Much love,
Rai ❤️
