Sorry for the long breaks between chapters. Life just seems to keep getting in the way but I'm really hoping to post way more frequently, starting next month.

I am currently working on a new short story. The working title is 'It's Not Real".

It was supposed to be a oneshot but I can't fit it all into 1 or 2 chapters. So far I have 3 chapters finished and I think it will end with 5 chapters but I'm not sure yet.

Hoping to have it finished sometime in the next couple days or so and posted within a weeks time.

Here is the banner for the story. Not sure if I'm going to make a separate one for each chapter like my other stories... we'll see.

Oneshots just get the one banner but since this is a bit longer, I might do more...

I am so sorry that I have been absent for so long. My health issues really took over this year. I have a whole list of medical problems, the more serious being Pulmonary Hypertension and Heart Failure.

I take a lot of medications to 'help' but overall I am very fatigued ALL THE TIME and just feel like crap basically non-stop.

I have fallen away from every single hobby. I literally have no energy to do anything. I am barely scraping by with my daily mandatory things, like cooking and taking care of the kids. I have 4 by the way.

I am a single mom to 4 kiddos and I have chronic illnesses. It is incredibly difficult. I am not trying to make excuses but I just wanted to let you all know why I haven't been active for so long.
