Hello there!

This is thesecretgarden talking (err, typing)! I know it's been a while (pffft, I know, I know — 'a while' is a major understatement) and believe me guys, I too miss writing so, very much! So what is the reason behind my almost-two-months absence from the world of asianfanfics? Simple.

I BROKE MY RIGHT ARM.

OUCH.

And it was all because of my stupid craving for a certain choco-banana-cheese crepe and my inability to look in front. And my clumsiness. And my motor control. Or I suppose, judging by how long my right arm spent being in a cast (seven weeks) — lack thereof. 

So no. I'm not dead. And yes, I will probably write again. Because I have too much pent-up muse that is currently in the verge of bursting out (blame W and Moonlight Drawn by Clouds for those *cough*ParkBoGum*cough*LeeJongSuk*). Now that my fingers and lower arm are almost back to normal (aside from the occasional soreness), I will try to get back to writing as soon as possible. It's been two months after all, and my writing is probably very rusty (*cough*crappy*cough*) by now. And yup, I am currently sick as well, hence the many coughs you came to find in this nonsensical post (totally not because of Park Bo Gum and Lee Jong Suk and their prettiness knocking all breath out of my lungs...ugh, I better stop. Advil is making me delirious.)

Regarding the plagiarism incident. I would be lying if I said I'm no longer bothered by it — because it still does. But after taking a break from writing and getting to take my minds off just basically everything (because there's really not much you can do when your main arm is rendered useless and all you can do is sleep, eat, and watch k-dramas...), at the end of the day, I also came to realize just how much I love it. Writing, I mean. know I've said it before, but it feels totally different because this time, I experienced two excruciating months not being able to move my (right hand) fingers when all I want to do is type. And type. And type. And type some more.

So there you have it. It is a pretty ridiculous reason. But hey, it's been years since I last ate crepes and the smell was just too mouth-watering and I was too much of a klutz to trip on practically a non-existent...existence. Ugh. I don't even know what I'm saying. Please pardon my brain. 

But anyhow. The new term has started last week. And second year is probably going to be even busier for me (so many labs and assignments and online modules and just...ugh.) I don't know when I will be updating my stories, but hopefully, it will be soon.:)

Lastly, thank you so much for all your support, guys! I'm honestly surprised that a lot of people are still faithfully waiting for me to update (and I'm extremely grateful for your dedication!) but at the same time, I'm also scared that I will not be able to meet your expectations regarding my future updates given my lack of writing these past months. All in all, THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! <3

Love, love, and much love,

thesecretgarden.

P.S.: In the case that I will not be able to continue writing again due to school-related conflicts (I still have that stats lab to finish and genetics primer-designing assignment due next week...), I might just sign up for the role of being a beta! It seems fun, and although I don't want to seem presumptupus as to giving advices for other writers, it is a fun way of connecting with all of you without having to worry about deadlines (seeing as I've had enough of them, what with the mountains of assignments waiting for me in the near future). You guys can talk to me about your ideas, stories, writing style, editing, k-pop and k-dramas, puppies, Park Bo Gum's teeth, and just about anything basically! I promise I won't bite! Send me a PM and I promise to get back to you asap!

Phiew. That was a long postscript, lol. 

Until next time! :D
