Beyond Redemption

I’m MIA a lot -summmertime is busy for me, and this summer, more than usual- but I’m still around. Thanks for all the review love. I always appreciate it. I have a few days to myself coming up and hope to do some writing. Don’t really feel like it, TBH, but I did say that I would try to finish some things for y’all, so I’m giving it a shot.

Again, chapters will be short and that isn’t going to change, so lots of cookies to everyone who supported my decision in reviews.You realize that it’s extremely hard for me to write about things that don’t interest me much anymore and that any effort put forth is solely for you, instead of the few who -I know- don’t seem to get it. You make doing something I find a chore a lot more tolerable. <3 So, that’s it for now. I’ll get a chapter up as soon as I can.

Hey Guise!

My hands are acting up, so I’m not replying to individual reviews right now. It’s just easier for me to leave a message that everyone can see here.

First, thank you so much for all the kind reviews and well wishes. It’s been a wild 9 years, but I don’t regret a thing, not even getting carpal tunnel. Everything happened for a reason, and in the end, I wrote the time of my life -hehe- and met many great people. Thanks for acknowledging my contribution to this fandom.

Second, no, I’m not done yet. Being able to pen a chapter that I didn’t hate >.> was the sign I needed to continue on. I can’t say it will be fast updates, but you will get chapters, beginning with the ones you were promised in May (Argh. So sorry about that!). Once I get those last few done, I’ll spin the wheel and start doing random updates on the fics I plan to complete. Again, they will be short, and they won’t be lightening quick, but I promise to keep writing until I can close some doors for you guys.

If you haven’t done so yet, please participate in the poll. Now, more than ever, it’s important to have your voice heard if you’re still interested in the fics.

Okay, I’m out! How about some IY? It’s been a while…

So, today is the big day. InuGrrrl turns 9 years old (????) and I’m still kinda shocked about it. I totally didn’t expect to still be doing IY stuff all this time later, but I don’t regret a thing, not even the bullshit these nobodies put me through a few years back.

Their douchebaggery actually helped me grow because it strengthened my armor and made me a much more thorough person, which is actually a good thing since we’re always surrounded by dicks in life. lol. But it also taught me how to choose my friends wisely; everyone who is still in my life right now are cherished because they are, were, and will always be, the real.

Anyway, enough sentimental stuff! I’m hoping to update today and post a new skin for you guys, so I need to get to it. The chapter, as I warned in my last entry, will be really short. Sorry, but it makes life easier for me and I guess a short update is better than none, yeah? Thanks for the patience and I really hope I can eventually finish a few stories for you guys before I shut the door.

My best friend sent this to me, timed it so that I’d get it on my anniversary. Just how awesome is she?

So, I wanted to apologize for bombing fan month again (epically, at that). I really struggled to write GFE (I just wasn’t inspired and I forced it), so I was unhappy with the outcome, but had no choice because it was like blood from a turnip. To add to my abject annoyance, someone left a comment/rating that pissed me off and killed whatever was left of my drive to even bother. Updating is beyond hell for me now and I only do it for you guys. If I were the sole factor in this thing, I would have closed my site already. I’m past InuYasha, and just about done altogether with writing, so her shit did not help.

In short, one person ruined everything for everyone.

That said, I really appreciate all of the positive and encouraging reviews you guys have been leaving. I’m working a lot right now and not online as much, so I haven’t replied to them all yet, but knowing that you still enjoy the work is the greatest gift for a 9-year vet.

Yup, on June 16th, “InuGrrrl” turns 9. Really hard to believe, huh? We’ve been through battles! I didn’t think I’d still have my site or still be writing after so long, but here we are -even though I’m not really writing….

Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys for all the love and patience. I can’t promise you great updates, or that I will finish all my stories. I can only promise to try. Updates will come, but they will be short. REALLY SHORT. We’re talking 3,000 words at the very most (aka, what just about everyone else writes, lol). It’s the only way I can update without making myself crazy. I think that trying to give you at least 4-5k is just too much for the uninspired me. If I’m feeling a chapter and can go longer, I definitely will, but please don’t expect anything past 3k.

I also want to thank the lovely Angie22 for a beautiful surprise fanart! She enjoys The Neighbor (like many of you) and drew a fantastic story-inspired pic for it. Go see it and love on it. Art inspires me, so who knows, you guys may get that update yet!

I’ve been busy lately -busier than usual. I have work stuff going on and haven’t had time to try writing. It all kinda hit unexpectedly, but I’ve got some free time this week, so I’m going to try and get a chapter out. Not sure which, but it will be one of the ones you guys voted on. UGH, Fan Month is a curse, lol. Something always happens when I try it!

But anyway, the only fics I’m working on ATM will be the ones that were voted on. I want to get those out first -if I can- then I’ll see about the others. I have definitely moved on from IY fanfic, which sucks since I have so many things I want to do for you guys, but while I’m not really in it anymore, I’m still going to attempt to finish a few things before I pack it in.

I haven’t gotten a chance to read the reviews you guys have left recently, but I’ll be doing that this week as well. And big thanks to the lovelie who sent me the letter of thanks and appreciation (I won’t name names for privacy’s sake). It means a lot to know that through all the insanity, my little fanworks made someone genuinely happy. (｡´ ‿｀♡)

Until soon!

Happy Mother’s Day to all my lovelies and their moms -whether they’re here or not. <3

Been MIA for a bit. I severely pulled a muscle in my shoulder and it put me down pretty good. The pain has been so severe that it reverberates into my chest, which sucks the hairiest balls ever. I see my doc in a few days, but in the meantime, shit just blows. Doesn’t help that I haven’t really felt like writing or doing much of anything since breathing even hurts…

Anyway, going to attempt to do some writing today. I have about 2 half chapters I picked away at on my desktop, so let’s see if I can finish them and get them posted fast. They won’t be very long or every great; doing anything IY-related is a struggle for me these days. But I do want to try and finish the 5 requested fics, at least. Next month InuGrrrl turns 9. Dude, why am I still doing this? lol.

Meet my newest k-pop obsession. Oh Sehun (Last name first) of EXO.
He’s fucking gorgeous.

People annoy the fucking shit out of me sometimes, I swear. And it’s only because of who I am, and who I was raised to be, that I don’t completely fucking flip. So please, tread lightly when /if you approach. You don’t want to be that final straw.

That said, sorry there hasn’t been another update yet. I’ve been into something else lately, and while I did some writing, it wasn’t for InuYasha. There’s a project I’m working on that I’m pretty inspired/excited about and I managed to get some work done on it (This is neither here, nor there for y’all, but still). I do plan to work on more IY-oriented stuff, though, because I still owe you guys the rest of the FA fics (You’ll get them, but I won’t make it by the end of the month. I told you guys that in an earlier post). But I’ll be taking time when I can -and when my hands don’t hurt- to work on other things, too, since my interest in IY feels like it’s dying a rapid death.

To be honest, working on a side thing kinda refreshes me in a way that gives me a boost when I have to deal with IY again. Hard to explain, but it’s like having hard block on something, so you scrap it, do other things, and when you go back to it, the block has lessened.

Anyway, I just wanted to quickly update you. I’m not sure when the next chapter will be done, but I can say that I’ll be keeping it short and posting the moment it’s complete.
