Deviation Actions
Just a quick update, I have just moved from Surprise (Phoenix), Arizona to Plymouth, Massachusetts.
42 hours of driving spread over four days (visited friends/family along the way) and 2,830 miles (4,555 kilometers) covered.
For reference, that's like driving from (by road distance):
Lisbon, Portugal to Moscow, Russia
Buenos Aires, Argentina to Recife, Brazil
Brisbane to Perth, Australia
Got a new job and now living in a new state. Lots going on that has kept me busy, but I'll be continuing my story as soon as I have the time.

Story Rewrite Example
While I alter and edit my story, I sometimes come across parts that need a total rewrite. Take this scene between Radiance and Flora in Chapter 5, for example. Radiance was the "popular girl" and Flora was the timid introvert. This scene was meant to emphasize this and to dive into Flora's inferiority complex. However, reading this now, I feel that Flora's treatment of Radiance was too harsh. I wanted to find a way to better show that they are actually FRIENDS while still having that hint of envy. This new draft, I believe, better demonstrates their personalities and their dynamic as friends. I hope you enjoy reading it. I certainly have enjoyed writing it. ORIGINAL VERSION: With a quick goodbye, Radiance and Flora left the spa and made their way to the nearest stores. As the two walked, they ran into a group of young stallions. With the effects of the spa making them extra sparkly and fresh, they had no difficulty getting looks and whispers. Flora blushed at the attention.

Living in Japan
I know I've fallen off the map the past 5 months, but I thought I'd give a life update.
In January of 2019, I moved to Chiba, Japan.
I am currently teaching English, and for the past two months I have been without internet in my apartment. As of this week, I have it now, thankfully.
Since I started writing on DA, I've moved from Tennessee to Arizona to China to Arizona to Massachusetts to Arizona to Japan. Crazy.
But I thought I'd let it be known that I'm alive. And yes, the story WILL be finished. I will not let that fade away.
But how have you guys been? How's your life going?
I'd love to hear from you. I hope you're doing well!

And Chapter 54 is finally up.

....
I'm kidding. Please don't go.
I brought snacks.
