So yesterday morning my grandmother passed away. As some one who wasn't close to her, I was pretty emotional when I was talking to my mother. I think it has to do with the fact of the relationship we had with each other. For some reason I was the only grandchild that was treated differently, and now I think I understand why. I believe it has to do with the fact we were so similar but I wont go into the details as it is a personal matter and I don't think you all want to read my emotional baggage.
And you want to know something that is disgusting. When my grandmother was being taken to the hospital after her stoke last Friday somebody from the ambulance crew stole her wedding ring that my grandfather gave her. How horrible is that, and to have that emotion on top of all that. It makes me sick that people are capable of doing something like that. Especially as they are suppose to be the people that help you and to steal from a sick elderly women. Just horrible.
And on a side note about my story half of the story in written on paper I just have to type that up and then ill work on the second part of the chapter will be written on Sunday after the funeral. I haven't forgotten about my readers just delaying for obvious reasons.

Sad Times
Okay so school is extremely busy right now but thats not what is keep me and my family down at the moment.
So my Grandmother had a stroke and is in the hospital. Shes not doing well and my family as well as my cousins are in a little bit of a fog with emotions. I was never close to my grandmother because of personal problems between her and I. But it deeply hurts me to see her in pain as well as she is the last parent that my father has. My grandfather passed away about nine years ago. My emotions are a little conflicted at the moment and its affecting my progress with my story as well as school work.
With the daily reports I'm getting from my parents things dont look promising.
With regards to my story I have over 700 hits and 4 reviews for my first three chapter and I find that exciting. I'm guessing that isn't that much compared to most of the stories that are out there but MANY of them are really good. Which makes me want to go back through all of the ones Ive read and to leave a comment. But the reason I think for the lower view count is because my story goes into the fantasy and supernatural genre and that's pretty AU for some people or its not there cup of tea. Which is all understandable =/.
I really do hope that I can hit 10 reviews by chapter 5 but all I can do is keep my fingers crossed and press on. I have learned that reviews are extremely motivating to an author to continue writing especially when they put a smile on your face.I do hope for more but I'm not always a positive thinker so I have already have reached beyond what I thought I would accomplish.
