Hi, my loves. <3 @MDjarin17 @Brigmath28 @B1ana_Vack3r @ElizaJGrant @livetowrite_7 @Marie_jkkkkkkk
          	
          	I've missed hearing from you guys on my books more than you know. I'm trying my best to be patient & understanding, but the exponential drop in followers & the near radio silence on my board & books recently haven't helped get rid of my doubts & sense of isolation.
          	
          	I'm not putting my chapter updates on hold anymore; I plan on finishing & posting at least one new book poll in our "Boulevard", another "VII" entry, & Chapter 5 of "Magic in the Making" before the day's over. <33
          	
          	You guys should have my 'no chapter skipping' & 'no chapter skimming' rules memorized by now, so if you have the time & are in the right headspace for it, I hope you'll consider catching up on all of the books mentioned above in the meantime, especially "Sunset Boulevard" & "VII" if you're my current readers of 'em. <3
          	
          	As for any lingering insincere followers, I ask that they unfollow me now instead of taking their sweet time with it. Insincere, superficial, & rule-breaking users are about as welcome on my page as Umbridge is in Hogwarts.
          	
          	That's all for now; thank you for reading my TED Talk. <3
          	
          	~Love, Sunset

@B1ana_Vack3r It's alright, RARA, I get it. I just wanted to make my position on everything as clear as possible. <33
          	  
          	  Thank you, I appreciate you understanding & look forward to hearing more of your thoughts & theories on "Magic in the Making", "More Than Fate", & "VII" once you get the chance to get caught up on 'em. <333
          	  
          	  I hope band & your other online/offline things have been going as smoothly as possible for you. Stay safe, stay hydrated, & keep Standing Tall, sweetheart. <3333

Hey I just wanted to hopp on and say sorry that your not feeling motivated lately. I really hope you are staying safe and taking care of yourself. And I love that your book Faded Stars has been a book I go back to when I need my Julie and the phantoms craving fixed.  And your book is my escape when I need it. 
          Hope you had a wonderful Easter. 
          Stay safe and stand tall as you tell everyone. Have a blessed day. And a blessed hole week. 
          Stay hydrated. Take care.

@Sara1Butler Thank you, love, that means a lot to me. I'm slowly, but surely, getting my motivation back, & I'm hoping to get a fair bit of writing done today. <33
            
            I hope you had a sweet Easter too, and are having an amazing week! <333
            
            Yep, stay safe, stay hydrated, & keep Standing Tall! <3333

Hey, I know that some, if not all of you, have been dealing with some serious glitching on here, but I just want to check that my announcements are still reaching you guys {literally & figuratively} because the past 6 that I've posted haven't gotten any replies/acknowledgment whatsoever, which is more than a little concerning to me. @MDjarin17 @Brigmath28 @B1ana_Vack3r @ElizaJGrant @livetowrite_7 @Marie_jkkkkkkk
          
          On a similar note, I've noticed a devastating drop in engagement from you guys on my books recently, specifically comment-wise, since that's the engagement I appreciate & enjoy most. I hope everything's okay and look forward to hearing more from you guys on 'em when you have time & are in the right headspace to enjoy them. <33
          
          If ANY of you ever have ANY questions for me regarding ANYTHING about my books, page boundaries, etc., all you have to do is ask respectfully/appropriately. I'm ALWAYS happy to answer any book/boundary-centric questions you guys have to the BEST of my ability. <333

@MDjarin17 Nice; I had cherry cordial & black raspberry dark chocolate chip! <33

Hi sunset!!

@B1ana_Vack3r It's alright, not your fault. <3
            
            Thanks, sweetspark, I appreciate it & you, as always. <33
            
            Good to know; I hope it'll be more fun times than stressful ones for ya. {Wasn't ever in band, but I know it gets VERY hectic} <333

@SunsetMercer I’m sorry!!! <33

            Yay! I’ll probably be super MIA these next five days with band (that cult am I right?!).

@B1ana_Vack3r Hi, RARA, I've been on a non-stop emotional rollercoaster lately. My Easter Sunday was okay, but it was overshadowed a fair bit by an unpleasant up-&-down tide of cramps from the start of THAT time of the month. <3
            
            On top of that, I've hardly gotten any book engagement lately & none of my recent announcements have been acknowledged whatsoever. I'm more upset by the former, but they both suck, regardless.
            
            No worries, sweetheart, I get it & look forward to hearing more from you once you're able to settle in with my books again. <33
            
            ~Love, Sunset

Aside from finishing & posting MitM Chapter 5, I don't think I'm going to bother trying to post any other new chapters of any of my books for a few days, give or take, since all of my current readers are severely behind on 2 or more of 'em right now. @MDjarin17 @Brigmath28 @B1ana_Vack3r @ElizaJGrant @livetowrite_7 @Marie_jkkkkkkk
          
          On top of that, the near non-existent engagement on my books has taken an Atlas-level toll on my inspiration, motivation, & emotions in general. My last announcement {from Thursday} adds more detail to all of the above, so please read it if you haven't already.
          
          You know the drill; stay safe, stay hydrated, & Stand Tall. <3

Good evening, sweetsparks! <3 @MDjarin17 @Brigmath28 @B1ana_Vack3r @ElizaJGrant @livetowrite_7 @Marie_jkkkkkkk
          
          Here's a list of the chapters I've posted recently or somewhat recently:
          
          ~ "Magic in the Making" 'Chapter 4: Our Fantastic Five' {Almost 6 weeks ago}
          
          ~ "More Than Fate" 'Chapter 11: My Friends' {Almost 6 weeks ago}
          
          ~ "Vault II" 'Our Adventures {Part 2}' {Last weekend}
          
          ~ "Sunset Boulevard" 'Head-Canon/Hope Central {Parts 14 & 15}' {Almost 3 weeks ago}
          
          ~ "Sunset Boulevard" 'Head-Canon/Hope Central {Part 16}' {Last weekend}
          
          ~ "Sunset Boulevard" 'Head-Canon/Hope Central {Part 17}' {Last night}
          
          I ask that my current readers of the books above do what they can to get caught up on them. <33 
          
          It makes it harder for me to feel inspired/motivated to work on getting more chapters to you guys when I'm worried about you falling further behind. On top of that, I miss hearing your feedback {thoughts, theories, etc.} on all of the above. <333
          
          ~Love, Sunset

HEYYYYYY
          How are you????
          Have you eaten or drank anything?
          Love you x 300!

@B1ana_Vack3r Hi, lovely, it's nice to hear from you. <3
            
            I'm doing alright, though I've gotten a late start to my day, so I haven't done much yet. <33
            
            No, though I promise I'll be enjoying a late breakfast shortly. After that, I'll be working on finishing & posting {Part 17} of "Sunset Boulevard" & Chapter 5 of "Magic in the Making". <333
            
            ~Love you 3000, Sunset

I hope everyone's having a good weekend thus far! <3 @MDjarin17 @Brigmath28 @B1ana_Vack3r @ElizaJGrant @livetowrite_7 @Marie_jkkkkkkk
          
          I've just posted the next HHC chapter of "Sunset Boulevard" & I'll be posting {Part 17} later tonight! <33
          
          I promise "Magic in the Making" Chapter 5 IS on the way; I worked on it a bit yesterday, but I was also offline for a good 3-4 hours last night too, so I was fairly drained when I got home. <333
          
          I hope everyone will enjoy whichever books they need to catch up on & I'm looking forward to all of your thoughts, theories, & any questions that might arise! <3333
          
          ~Love, Sunset

I've just posted a new "VII" chapter & I hope you'll all enjoy it! <33 @MDjarin17 @Brigmath28 @B1ana_Vack3r @ElizaJGrant @livetowrite_7 @Marie_jkkkkkkk
          
          Please, pretty please, with cherries on top, DOUBLE-CHECK that you are FULLY caught up on ALL of the previous "VII" chapters before diving into the new one! <33
          
          Also, if you are one of my current "Sunset Boulevard" readers, I ask that you finish catching up on the latter BEFORE "VII", because my "Boulevard" chapters have been posted for a LOT longer than the latest vault chapter. <333
          
          I'll be offline for the next hour or so; my aunt's in town, so I'll be out of the house with her & my dad. When I come back online, I'll be happy to reply to all sweet, respectful comments & messages you guys have for me. <3333 
          
          Until then, stay safe, stay hydrated, & Stand Tall, my sweetsparks. <33333
