I figured I would post a notice here, in case anyone checks it wondering why I haven't updated in ages (with the exception of a few people who I know luvvels me and would get this update anyway, and you know who you are). I haven't updated for a series of reasons-- first, I had extreme problems getting back home from Japan, and nearly had to go to the Embassy to beg them to send me home. Once that bit of stress was over, I was honestly too lazy to get back in the seat again.
Recently, I had finally geared up enough to write again, thanks to some friendly (and ever-so-slightly threatening) nudging by arcane and phoenixdown, and was finally going to start typing.
But right now, I'm truthfully not much in the mood at the moment, as I have a serious problem that won't go away any time soon, barring a miracle.
My parents might lose their house--my house--within a month, and end up on the streets. I'll be back at school, living off my scholarship (thank god, or I'd have been forced to drop out ages ago, with this crap economy), and living in a house with my friends until I graduate in May, but I'll have no home to come back to, and I have no idea where my parents will go. We've been running on fumes for a long time, and the fumes themselves have run out. We might get a turnaround in fortune (mom's a broker who works on commission, so you never know), but with the way things are going, I'm going to lose my family and my home, and have to try and start a life with bad credit, no savings, and no legs to stand on.
So, writing is a little far from my mind at the moment.
Something may work out, and I'll be spitting sunshine and shitting roses, but until then, frankly, I'm too damn stressed. No one's been bugging me about it and everyone's been giving me space, but I figured that anyone who was wondering and waiting had a right to know, if they wanted to.
I also get the therapeutic benefit of venting.
Hopefully I'll have better news for you in the near future, and I'll relax enough to continue writing. I have not and will not abandon(/ed) Fox Magic, as I have many, many fun things to spring on everyone, but it is on a short hiatus until things change enough for me to relax.
Thanks,
Akai
