Hi everyone!
I've gone on radio silence for far too long and at this point and I'm not really sure what's going to be coming up next from my profile, if I'm being honest. I don't really know what I'm feeling at the moment either.
I have a few things I need to explain. A part of this is because I want to get it all down somewhere and let you guys know what's been going on in my life, recently.
First off, University is amazing and I love it more than anything! My classes are fantastic, I've made some incredible friends, and I've been working in the sound booth for my school's Christmas play as the sound operator. Thanks to this opportunity, I have met two lovely other techies, and I have gotten to know the all female-cast very well! A lot of my time has been devoted to school work and rehearsals and I have had little to no time to do anything writing related (that wasn't for marks) as of late.
Second off, I have been hitting this huge amount of writer's block. I have countless ideas for stories, but I have little to no motivation to get them written or to get them posted. I do want to apologize to all of you, especially since you have stuck with me for so long, even through my long silences. It really does mean the world to me!
So, I really don't know where I would be without all of your constant support.
I do want to start writing again, more than anything, but I have no idea when my next story will be coming out. If that's in the upcoming future, or if it won't be until later in December, or even pushing it back until January 2019.
That said though, I do have a bit of sneak peek, for all who are interested, of a story that has been in the works for about two months now!
To get a quick low-down of what Troublemaker will be, see below!
Sneak Peek:
She flopped backwards onto her comforter, the softness engulfing her from the long day, and her eyes glued the bottom of her roommate's bed. The door had been sealed shut for the night, the small little red light flashing from underneath the door was proof of that.
The bars on the window slowly began to shift as well, moving to seal her into her bedroom for the night so there would be no chance of escape.
Nicole kept her eyes locked on the underbelly of the bed above her, knowing that Erica wouldn't be returning tonight.
She had been taken by a foster family to see if she would be a fit in their home, which left Nicole alone.
It wasn't that there was a problem with the fact that she would be spending the night alone, she had done it countless times at the previous shelter she had been housed at, the one that certainly wasn't as high-tech as this one.
Her eyelids started to droop slightly, causing the young woman to shift into a more comfortable position on the bed, her head actually resting against one of the two pillows she had been given. The quiet was nice, she revealed in that, her hands folded over her stomach as she just waited with baited breath. Just waiting for a miracle to happen. For God to hear her silent pleads and just release her from this continuous torment.
Though, she supposed if there was a God, he wouldn't have allowed an invasion.
Was she upset? Most definitely. She had been nearly done with her fourth year in college, almost days away from receiving her teaching degree and weeks from starting a new life with her and her fiance.
Crappy how it all managed to change within seconds.

Thank you all so much for sticking around, even if I have taken this time to myself to reorganize and rethink some stuff.
God bless you all!
Cheers!

Howdy, Howdy!

Yes, I am still around and I still have plenty of ideas to write and share, however, time has finally caught up to me and summer has ended.
I am proud to say that I have finally moved in to my dorm room at my new University and am more than excited to start my studies! I have been anxiously awaiting the day I could run away and get some independence. My parents actually just dropped me off recently and are heading home keen tomorrow morning.
I'm currently just trying to settle in and get with this new rhyme and rhythm of University and dorm life!
As always, Kat is still around, just a lot busier than I had intentionally been! No worries though, I still frequent being online, and will reply to comments, notes, or any little thing being left for me. Though I am not posting any stories yet, I hopefully will have time to do so in the near future, as I thank the Lord that my schedule isn't too, too demanding.
Cheers!

Heya!

Hi everyone!
I just want to speak to a few points of my very sudden and long disappearance. I'm perfectly fine! So, please, don't be worried that something bad happened to me! School and life has just gotten really busy all in one, and my second semester has just kicked into action. So, that's also a drag as well. However, I have a few different reasons for being so absent.
Let me just explain myself c:
1. Life has kicked me in the ass a good couple times this year already, and I'm hoping for February to be better as well! I also have a cousin who will be moving in with me shortly until she can get back onto her feet. So, I offered for her to come and stay with me for as long as she needed to.
2. I've been having major writer's block and nothing has been helping me cope with such a thing, which is why my stories are far and few between. I also have a theatre production coming up and rehearsals have started, yet again limiting my time to actually be able to sit down for a good amount of time and write something meaningful or something good for that matter. You all deserve something that I sat down and put thought into instead of just a weak and short story.
3. Alright, well, this is something that I probably should've spent a whole different journal on explaining, but I'm going to get it down here instead, and just let it all out. My boyfriend of three years and I have broken up (and I know, this is personal, but I need to share this), and it's been dragging me down even further than I thought it would. I'm left thinking that it's my fault, like I had done something wrong, and he doesn't seem to care about that- not like he has to. However, it's difficult for me to cope with this because I had invested so much time and energy into him, and he had kept leading me on. Like I was worth his time. Why'd we break up? He cheated. He had been cheating for little over four months nearing the end of our relationship. He had told me that the other girl was a better choice for him anyways and we said our goodbyes. I still have yet to figure out what I had done so wrong, as to have him end it so abruptly, even so far as to going behind my back and being with another girl.
4. This one is a little harder for me to talk about, as well. I've been feeling rather down lately, which certainly isn't helping my creative streaks at all. I've also been feeling pretty empty. Petty. Like I can't do anything I love anymore, and this deep self-hatred that I hold inside me. The only reason I'm getting this down on here is because this is where I feel I'd be able to cope with it best. I feel sick and tired, and just all around worthless right now. Don't worry about me, I'll crawl out of this pit I've dug myself into sooner or later. And I know I need to seek help, but- I'm just so scared of the reactions I'll get from people.
I'm sorry that this is so heavy and all, but I needed to talk about it somehow, or else I would still be slinking in the shadows of my profile. Don't worry! I'm still here, and I am doing alright! However, I still may not keep writing for a little while longer, so I will most likely be on hiatus for maybe a couple weeks longer. Hopefully, I can cut that time down, but until I can find a way to manage myself and everything that has happened so quickly around me at this time.
Much love to you all!
Cheers!

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to give out a short little journal entry, just letting you all know that I'm doing well! I would like to apologize for my inactivity, but school has been a pain for the last couple weeks and I haven't had much time to sit down and write for a bit.
I should be getting more active in the upcoming weeks.
Cheers!
