Recently, there have been two separate occasions concerning my updating time. One, was by a friend of mine on AFF and she inquired about whether I was all right and then stated that she was worried. The other being that someone, somewhere wrote as if I was purposely not updating frequently and how I was making them wait. 

I'm mostly writing this to clear up misunderstandings and to tell anyone that there is no reason for you guys to worry about me! I am so sorry if any of you have been worrying due to my irregular behavior. I suppose this is where I better explain myself.

1) August is usually a busy month for me.

With school starting in a month, this thing I like to call a "Summer Rush" happens. 
My work wants to use me as much as they can. So, they shove me with the most randomly dated and long-hour shifts.
My social life doubles. My friends all freak out and have this "I must end summer with a bang and hang out with EVERYONE" mentality. This mentality ended with two of my 4-day road trips I had this month.
Family. I'm very close to my family. We spend a lot of time together, we go out to dinner and more importantly, we visit other family members who live 6-8 hours away.
A combination of these make it very hard for me to organize which days I can write. 

2) I'm writing more than one story. 

I'm not sure about other authors, but when I write a story, I need to put a few hours aside to write just the rough. Mostly because I'm easily distracted and I will stare for a long time at my word document when a scene doesn't make sense to me or if I get stuck. 
Then I edit (and sometimes get a beta to edit after that). And then, I post it. Booom, exhaustion hits me. I am in no mood to write anything for at least 24 hours. 
And, I do it all again later but with another story. Write, edit, post and exhaustion. I don't think you understand how much I admire those authors who can write decent chapters every friggin' day. How do you organize your time? Are you never tired?

Sorry if this post appears whiny to you or if it appears like I'm giving you guys excuses. It's just the fact that I might actually be worrying some of you bugs the heck out of me! I definitely don't want that! I am fine, I'm just having a hard time finding time to write is all. I want to. Oh my goodness, I want to. I'll be at work and daydream about plots and whatnot. 

Okay, that's all. Paper Mâché will be updated somewhat soon (a day hopefully) and the end is drawing very very very very near! OMG, I don't what I'm going to do once it's done :'(

Much love everyone <3 xoxo
