Hey, everyone! Sorry I've been kind of MIA for a bit, but things have been a bit of a mess lately, so I figured I should kinda touch base with y'all, so you wouldn't think I'd abandoned everything. 
          	      
          	The main problem I've had in the last few weeks is that the idjits in the higher offices at work are basically trying to kill us. One of our main machines has been on it's last legs since September, and has been crapping out on a regular basis while they've been waiting on the parts to come from overseas, but instead of easing up on the production schedule, they've actually been taking new orders, which just puts us further behind. Therefore, we've been working 10 hour shifts, 7 days a week, for over a month, and everyone is exhausted. So I'll come home, eat, and try to write, or work on Christmas gifts, and usually end up going facedown in my keyboard or my cutting mat.
          	
          	Fortunately, they finally got the part the day before Thanksgiving, and had maintenance fix it over the weekend, so they say that this will hopefully be the last week of overtime if we can start catching up, so I'll hopefully be able to get back on track soon. I've been working on a new chapter for "COAL", and I'll try to get it out tomorrow or Wednesday, and after that, I'm gonna try to alternate between that one and "Priceless" at least one chapter a week until after Christmas, when I won't need to split my time between this and finishing up the gifts I'm making. So thanx for being patient, and I hope to have everything back to normal soon.
          	
          	Have a great rest of your day/night!  :-D

@BansheeMoonsong  @SuicideInTennessee  Thanx for the support, you two! I just hate feeling like I'm letting people down, even though I know that trying to post anything when I'm basically brain-dead would be just as bad as not posting at all, if not worse. But today was just normal hours, and for the rest of the week, they're going by when we hit standard, so if everyone can keep their asses in gear, we might only have to work Saturday, and not do 10 hour shifts on top of that, which means that my brain may hold up long enough to finish up the chapter tomorrow, so wish me luck!

Hey there, folks–@BansheeMoonsong here! For anyone who's aware and been wondering, no, I haven't abandoned the account I made and have been running for Annie, @Starelf555Remade! In fact, I just posted a few more chapters of her story–"One Step Ahead"–on said account a few minutes ago! Enjoy what I added tonight, and I hope to have more posted in the coming Days!

Hey there, folks–@BansheeMoonsong here! I just wanted to give a heads-up to Annie's followers before either of us have to start fielding a ton of questions!
          
          There's now an account by the username of @Starelf555Remade floating around due to some problems she's been having with her current account recently! She'll eventually be taking over it, but for the Time being, it's currently managed by me and I'm giving her a bit of a head-start by getting one of her completed stories up for her due to Time constraints on her End!
          
          A couple others that're still in progress'll follow sooner or later, hopefully sooner than we anticipate! In the meantime, nobody's stolen any of her stories and started reposting 'em behind her back–she's given her full permission for me to get 'em reposted in her stead due to those aforementioned Time constraints!

The new chapter of COAL is up! I woulda had it done sooner, but it got glommed up into an unreadable mess, cuz I tried to stuff in too much at once, so I had to break it  down into 2 chapters. And since the next one is pretty close to done now, I'm gonna take tomorrow to get some other things done, and then try to put the next part up by Thurs. or Fri. So I hope you enjoy this one, and I'll see ya soon! :-D

Hey there, everybody! If any of you are looking for a contest to enter, check out The Infinity Awards 2020. It hasn't been up very long, so there are plenty of open slots in a variety of genres. They may have some openings for judges, too, if that's your thing.
                And sorry I've been MIA for awhile, but my brain and my internet have been taking turns being non-functional. I'm working on my drafts as we speak, though, so depending on how much mayhem I decide to put into this chapter, the next installment of COAL will be available for your reading pleasure either tonight or tomorrow. Sorry about the wait for all you lovely readers, I'll definitely try to do better from now on. Thanx for being patient, and have a great rest of your day/night.

Hey, everyone! I've come across a problem that I'd like to try to get some input on from some fellow Wattpad-ers, particularly those of you in the North Carolina area, as I'm not familiar with what's available there. 
              
             I just found out from a friend and fellow site user that she's about to become homeless, and I was wondering if someone might be aware of any resources in that area that she might be able to utilize. She's currently unemployed, and partially disabled, which is making it even harder to find a job than what's currently being caused by the lockdown.
          
              I'm not adding her username to this message, as she has concerns that the person she's currently in conflict with might access these messages and kick her out immediately, without a chance to make arrangements or gather her things. So if anyone has any ideas, just let me know, and I'll either relay the message, or ask her to contact you through PM's to keep her username from being publicly connected to this. Any ideas will be much appreciated, so thanx in advance! Y'all  stay healthy and safe amidst the chaos, and have a lovely rest of your day/night!

@Starelf555 That and, walmart parking lots. If this person has access to a car and can live there, I'm fairly certain walmart parking lots won't kick you out. Getting a gym membership also works for access to showers.

@Starelf555 I don't have the greatest idea of the situation/geography of the area, but I do recommend looking into shelters in the area if the virus hasn't closed them. I would also advise this person to ask a friend if they have one who has room, and to stock up/make a bag if needed. It is also wise to look for small jobs if need be such as fast food or the like. Again, I do not know this person's situation well, but I do wish them the best of luck.

@daughter-of-Nike-6  It's something I Googled when I wanted to upgrade from my original PFP. If you type "Fantasy pictures of elves" into the Google searchbar, you'll be able to find all sorts of really cool pics.
