Hi everyone,

I owe you all a huge apology for dropping off the face of the earth and being negligent for some time.

Years! OMG…. I hope this doesn't make some sort of record. But I have truly missed you all. Since I've left fanfic, I've found my own brute of an Edward and I'm happily married, not dead as some of you feared (or hoped-my much loved flamers- yes I've missed you too).

My own love-story is stranger than fiction. It would make a good read-I'll leave it at that. So he's been what has been eating up all my time.

As I was finishing up school and focusing my attention to trying to write real publishable work, even visiting my page was too much of a temptation.

It kills me that I have missed out reading your work…oh the binge reading sessions I am going to have. Can anyone point me in the right direction, where do I start? What's the next 50 shade read or Perfect Wife type star-story?

Anyhow, so here's where we are.

I've got 8 plus chapters, nearly doubling my word count- they were pristine and ready to go, just had to dust them off and look them over.

(I even had some Edward POV chapters that I tossed out, forgot I even wrote them. Perhaps I'll publish them as an outtake idk.)

It takes me so very close to the ending, like right up to the closing remarks…I am hoping posting will inspire me to tie up loose ends the right way.

Purposely, I am delaying the finishing chapter…sometimes commenters change my direction ever so slightly and I can't simply leave the story how I intended it. Or someone points something out and I end up reading my own chapters five times over to see if they are seeing something I am missing. That is the beauty of fanfic.

Anyhow, a short chapter or teaser will be posted sometime in December, then the chapters will roll out in the New Year, in January and into February.(at least that's when my new year is…)

If I get the courage, maybe I'll drag my sorry ass over to the Twilighted thread like I promised. Yikes, I'm like a guppy over in that pond- those women eat fish like me for breakfast. I love twilighted, don't get me wrong…it is just so much more intimidating than FF.

Anyhow, that's where we stand…I understand you might be mad.

That's expected…. I am literally biting my lip as I write this and expecting the hateful remarks. "What the hell have you done in these passing years? Only 8 chapters?"

Or perhaps you are frustrated with me.

Know you're not alone, I frustrate people all the time in my real-girl life.

In my next update- I'll be sure to leave my husband's email to voice your complaints. Oh and his background is in American History, but his passion is European history- so he would love to nitpick my story with all you flamers.

Like I said he's a brute and when it comes to motivating me or making me see reason, he has succeeded in ways that impresses my own mother. She says, and I quote, "I wish he was around when I was raising you."

Some of you don't' care about me and are saying….

"Enough with all this stuff about you, I only care about the story."

Again I understand, so I bolded the important parts.

Peace readers and friends….I'm looking forward to hearing your reviews and posting those updates!

Andi :)
