An Explanation and an Apology

Hey guys, miss_anonymous here!! This is honestly nothing extremely important or anything like that. I just felt like I had to explain myself for being such an absolutely terrible author. I seriously do not mean to make you all wait so long for my updates and I'm very guilty for making you all wait 5849307 years for it. ;^;  I'm not going to make excuses and say "Oh, I forget". Nah man, I'm not going to be fake like that. Being 10,000% honest, I've been getting a tad bit-- ok, very lazy and caught up with roleplaying and starting my own roleplay with some friends. Honestly, my updates started getting worse once I started roleplaying (you can blame my sister for introducing it to me).

But, that's not all that's been holding me back. I've also been busy with well... life and growing up. Those of you who have been following me since the beginning know that I'm turning 18 this year. I'll be a senior in high school in August and I'll be super, super, SUPER busy with my last attempt with the SAT and ACT in October, college applications (which are all due in about November), senior trip, senior ball, senior picnic, work, volunteering, etc, etc. There's literally a bus load of stress just waiting to hit me and run me over. 

This summer is the summer before my senior year so I've got TONS of prep to do. In June and May, I was studying for my SAT's, looking for a job, trying to get my volunteer hours in before senior year, and trying to look/apply/win some scholarships. Now it's July and I'm volunteering at my local Boys and Girls Club Monday - Thursday from 8:15am - 2pm for 6 weeks, I'm tutoring my 3rd grade cousins who are struggling in school on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I'm still waiting to begin work (long story short, there's no hours for me to work yet because business is slow :/ ).

I know this my sound like a bunch of excuses to some you but please understand. Getting into college and and making sure I graduate are seriously VERY big deals to me and I'm doing all I can to ensure that I don't screw something up for myself. People graduating this school year or people who have already experiences their last year can understand my stress. I'm going to be legal 4 months, I'm going to graduate in a year, and then by September of 2016, I'll be tossed out into the real world and expected to make something of myself after being babied for nearly 2 decades. I'm 17 and I'm already expected to make LIFE DECISIONS but I still have to raise my effing had to use the bathroom at school. 

"Hol' tf up woman. What about over the summer? You have almost 3 months to try to get in an update! How come you haven't tried to get one in?!"

You don't think I've tried? I have a draft in Google Docs and I have no frigging clue on where to start. The last reason why I haven't updated is because of this major road block in my head. I'm not kidding hen I say this: I go to sleep almost every night thinking of a possible scenario to write about. Some of you may think that I know exactly what's going to happen in each chapter but honestly, I don't. I just write what ever comes to mind and inspires me. I don't even know who Jin will end up with at the end of Unattainable. I'm still having an internal war about TaeJin and KaiJin TT^TT. But the point is that I don't want to give you guys half assed chapters to read. I want to give you guys things that will add to the story; that will make you guys want to continue reading. I don't want to give you guys crap because I know I have the potential and the brain power to give you guys something worthy for your eyes and your imaginations. I really want the plot of the story to flow and develop naturally, not jump all over the place like some fanfics I see floating around. I really hate it when stories are choppy and fast paced. That allows no room for character development or for realistic relationships/romance to flourish. I really want you all to feel something when I write. I want you all to connect with the characters and to really feel what the character's are feeling. If an author cannot evoke emotion in their readers, grasp their attention with real life feeling, or keep reader's interested with an original and interesting then they aren't worthy of being called an author. I am no professional. I mean, just look at I'm His Rebound. I'm sure all of you caught how many times I mistook "now" for "know" and"know" for "now". /is still extremely embarrassed about that/ I just want to give you guys quality work. 

So to conclude this author's note, I want to sincerely apologize to you all for being so crappy with my updates. I just felt guilty because a lot of you guys comment and ask for me to post a new chapter and I felt like I at least owe you all and explanation about why I've been so inconsistent with updates. Please know that AFF and my stories are not all that I focus on. Writing is a love of mine and I really enjoy it, but I've also got a lot of things going on outside of AFF and writing that also require a lot of my attention. I also want to give you guys chapters that are up to my standards and that are actually worthy of you all reading. I do not want to disappoint you guys with a bunch of ty, filler chapters full of spelling and grammar errors. Again, please try to understand the circumstances I'm in and please keep in mind that I really try my best to please you guys and keep you satisfied. I really do appreciate you all and it's because of you guys that I keep writing. If I didn't have so many supporters and people who liked what I wrote, I would have given up a long time ago. Thank you all for sticking with me even though I've disappointed a lot of you and thank you for being such great subscribers.

With my sincerest gratitude,
miss_anonymous

Hey, your future is more important than our satisfaction. I'd love to know what will happen to Jin, honestly I want her to end up with Kai. But seriously I don't mind waiting for as long as you don't quit halfway. It's hard to get the inspiration to write & imagine with just the right words. I've tried it before. Don't be embarrassed of yourself, everyone makes mistake. Your story is written aesthetically with high qualities. Ok? Don't put yourself down, if you're in need of motivations & want to release stress, just do an author note like this. Don't apologize. Stay peace & graduate successfully ;)
