To My Dear Readers: Being a business owner...

Well guys, I'm sure you've all noticed my absence (even with commenting on people's fics/reading them) for the past few weeks

So I figured my loyal readers deserve an explination...or excuse, whichever you want to call it~

As of Wednesday the 2nd of October, 2013...I signed the papers to be put on an LLC (Limited Liability Company) and I am officially 33.3% owner of "Motor City Java & Tea House"

So yeah, I'm a business owner now!!! 

It feels weird, honestly...

So many parts of me feel like it wants to be a kid and do kid things

But I can't anymore...

It's almost bittersweet, because I'm finding that the more I get invested into this business and the more I work at it and become successful

The more estranged I'm becoming to the things I used to do on the regular, like update my fics...and RP on sites and stuff...

However, I think that the point of growing up, isn't to give up the things you love when you're young

I think the true beauty in growing up, and true success is gauged (for me) in how I can still make matured decisions and prioritize my life...while still not forgetting the things that I love to do, like writing...

It is a difficult, and very roller coaster like transition for me, but I'm making it one little bit at a time

And I can promise you guys one thing...

Even if you don't see me for periods of time, even if I don't update regularly (lol lets face it, I haven't updated regularly since 2012)

I'm not gonna ever give up on my fics, my stories are still my medicine, and my readers are still deeply in my heart

I don't think I've ever really expressed how much you guys affect me, your comments, whether they be negative or positive, they all affect me so strongly that I've often shed tears...mostly happy ones

So I'm a selfish author and I'm going to ask for patience (because I'm sure that most of you want to know how my stories end anyway, right?), while I take a semi-hiatus in the world of fan fiction...

I desperately need this in order to get my business together, I have to do all sorts of things like restock the entire store, write and completely new menu and train employees how to MAKE said things on the menu, as well as get the building up to code and in the process, we're doing fund raisers every month and it's just completely hectic that I find myself only being able to sit in front of my fics and write for maybe 10 minutes a day

10 MINUTES (*sobs*)

But I can't regret asking you guys to be patient while I'm on my break...Because I really really love you guys' comments and all the little things you do to make me feel like my stories are actually worth it, so yeah, I'm selfish...Selfish Maegan~ *smacks my hand*

Well, anyway, that's about all the time I've got for the day since I'm officially making my first wedding cake that this lady ordered for tomorrow...

I bid you all au revoir~

Well all I can say Mae is Congratulations. You are moving up and doing good for yourself. Being independent is awesome and I am happy that you care enough to let us know even though you don't have to; that you are doing this well.

You know I will always wait for your updates no matter what you know I am one of your most loyal readers ever since you started posting for the first time and I regret nothing. I am glad you have decided not to just up and leave like some ppl do. They think to stop writing is to stop being a child and no Writing is suppose to be a passion not just something you do for fun. So I am glad you know what it really means.

I will root for you and I hope you are very successful. I hope you do so great that you even become the sole owner of that place and be like the one to just sit back and sigh and look back and say I made it. And then you just keep managing your company and have more time to write lol

But honestly I wish the best for you and I hope you really are very successful and that everything works out always. It is obvious there will be some ups and downs but I know you will be able to get through it with no problem. I know you a a very hard working and independent woman...(well that certainly made me think of Destiny's Child "Independent Woman" Lmao!) All the good luck for you Maegan! Love ya! ♥

Wish you the best. Don't feel bad for loving different things and finding your path in life. That's really amazing. Hope you do really well <3

As long as you don't lose the passion for writing, I'm really okay with that. Writing is life, so I don't want you losing that. Use it as your safe get away for when the things in real life get you a little stressed. It works wonders ;)
