208 Author Note.

Alright you sexy bastards.

I wanted to take a moment to address something that's been on my mind, because I'm constantly reminded of it.

Look, I know I haven't been able to keep up with my promises, especially when it comes to the chapters I owe you.

I've seen the comments, and I want you to know that I'm ducking aware.

This year has been incredibly challenging for me. I've undergone three surgeries, faced multiple hospitalizations, and battled infections as a result of all these health issues.

It's been a rough fucking year, to say the least. And that's just the medical side of things, on a personal level, well… multiple family members have died during this year, so yeah.

For those of you who know me well, and have been with me since the early days, you know how I am when I'm not sick, when I'm at my full power.

What I want to convey is that I'm genuinely doing my best under the circumstances.

I will post a bunch of chapters tomorrow, and I know that despite my efforts some will still feel like I'm not trying hard enough, or not doing enough.

I love writing, I love seeing others like what I do, it's fulfilling.

I will continue doing this, and eventually, I'll be back to the rate I had before.

I will fulfill all of my promises, even if they take longer than expected, and I will finish all of my novels, even if that takes longer than expected.

Hopefully that clears some fog in the situation.

With love, a sick Corn.
