#my absence

          It’s been roughly two months or so since I updated my sanders sides fic “Behind this Mask is A Desperate Heart.” However, I just uploaded chapter five of this story. Unfortunately, it is shorter than I had originally attended, but life has a way of impacting not only one’s creative process but their time, motivation, and energy. I felt drained because my classes were ending and finals were approaching, a sentiment many blogs have expressed. But, it was the unfortunate and untimely passing of my grandmother that made it difficult to find the motivation despite the amazing messages and comments I have received on the little writing that has been done for this AU. My family had to fly out to California to visit family and attend the funeral of my grandmother a few weeks ago. And only recently have I found the motivation to take out my laptop and work on this story.

          For those of you that have been waiting for updates, I do apologize for my lack of posts. I was and I am very dedicated to telling this story and will continue to write. I will not have an update schedule though, but I am aiming for every 1-2 weeks with longer chapters now that summer is here. Thank you for your patience and support during this time.
