update on life and fics

So I thought I would sit down and kind of explain why my updates have been so slow for the past couple of months. Especially since it's summer and I should be spending more time on them. But when I had finished school, the main reason for why I was so slow when it came to updating things in the first place, I thought I would have more time in the summer.  But once spring came, I learned that my grandmother, who was one of the closest people to me in my family, had brain surgery twice, various , and was in a coma for months. Between idiotic doctors, a terrible nursing care system that led to more problems than good... I don't know how you can misdiagnose a bed sore as an abrasion and then allow it to get so bad that it got to the size of a football, you have to be pretty stupid if you ask me... And then the eventual decision to put my grandmother in a hospice and finally allow her to have her last moments, then the funeral afterwards, it's been a stressful couple of months from spring into summer.. Especially when you have to deal with family conflicts along the way and play nice with family members that have literally wronged you... It's been a tough couple of months for me. 

And it's definitely affected some of my mood when it comes to writing and doing things on this site. So between updates for fics and finishing that masterlist for ISS, I just haven't always been in the mood to do such a thing, despite having some writing done for a couple of my fics. And more often than not, I just want to relax and catch up on some anime or just talk Infinite stuff since I didn't get to do much of that during school. So between all of that, it's not a wonder for why I am so slow, but I am committed to finishing my Myungstal stuff, Inked Heart, and a few other fics as well, so despite the slow updates, do not think i am abandoning them. And I hope you all understand why I haven't been updating as much, because if I wasn't dealing with some of the stuff that I've been dealing with, I'd be writing a bit more than I have been.

However, I thought it would be a good idea to explain why I haven't been as proactive lately and why I've been slow to things when I used to not be that way a year or so ago. And while my schedule in the future won't be the best either, I'm still going to try and finish some of the things that I've set out to do on this site. Even if it takes me a bit longer than most. And while I know waiting can be a pain when it comes to updates, but writing is hard work and can take up to 3-4 hours at the very least to do one chapter and even then, I can take a few days to finish a chapter due to rewriting scenes or trying to work my way through writer's block. I'm not a natural when it comes to writing like some people, but through experience and just writing a lot through the years has helped me get to where I am now, but I still struggle at times when it comes to my fics. So that doesn't always help with keeping a set schedule at times.   

But anyway, I just thought I would give you guys an explanation on why I've seemed flaky, sometimes out of character at times, and even then, sometimes scarily in the loop for certain things on this site, while also not having an update every 1-2 weeks for fics like I had wanted to do in the first place this summer.

I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family. I don't have any grandparents now. My grandpa, who was the last of them, died thirteen or so years ago, and still there are time when I cry because he is no longer here to celebrate with me. I just take comfort that somehow, in Heaven, he could see me. And don't worry about fanfics. They'll get updated... eventually. Or so I tell myself most of the time.
