Island Paradise Resort!!! Please join!

***************  

You are walking into your neighborhood, miserable. You just got out of school, and it's Winter Break. You should be happy, but you aren't. you are going to be stuck in your boring house the whole break, with no access to the Chatterbox. This is because you are grounded.

For reading. Reading! 

Well, that isn't exactly the whole story. 

The day before yesterday, you were reading an extremely immersing fantasy novel. You were in the middle of a very suspenseful part when your parent yelled,"Lights out!" You tried to argue, but your parent cut you off. "I don't care how good your book is. You need to get some sleep." You wanted to scream that they didn't understand, that you simply had to keep reading. But you kept quiet; there was no use in arguing. You sighed and turned off your lamp.

Five mintues later, you pulled your covers over your head, along with three quilts on top to make sure your flashlight wouldn't shine through and give you away. You turned it on. It was supposed to be used for emergencies only. And this was an emergency. A book emergency.

You continued reading, feeling excited. You wanted to scream with giddy delight when the main character finally kissed that girl, but you could only smile silently. You wanted to punch the wall when the main character's best friend betrayed him, but you could only grit your teeth. Then that charming wizard guy died. You dropped the book, shaking.

"Nooooooooo!" you wailed. "No, no, no, I hate you, author!"

Your bedroom door flew open, and your parent rushed it. It all went downhill from there.

"I am confiscating your book for two da-" your parent started. Suddenly there was a flash, and the room seemed to shudder. For a second, your parent's eyes turned scarlet. Then everything went back to normal, and you forgot all about that weird thing that just occured.

Your parent's voice was cold. "You are grounded. For the entire Winter Break. No screen time, no blogging, and no leaving the house."

Now you are walking home, dead leaves crunching beneath your feet.

You arrive at your house and open the mailbox. Something flies into your hands. It's a letter:

----- 

Dear Chatterboxer and Book Lover,

You have been invited to be in the first group of people to stay at the newly constructed Island Paradise Resort! The Resort sits on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the entire island is owned by the Resort. We are its only inhabitants. You will be taken to the island on a first-class private jet. Once you arrive, prepare to have a world of fun!

Our Resort is made up of a four-story luxury hotel, a beautiful beach, a small amusement park, a five-star restaurant, multiple relaxation areas, three thrilling waterslides, a peaceful forest, and absolutely no murders!

And the best part is...it's all FREE*!!!

The length of your stay depends on the number of people attending. If you choose, you may bring  one AE and/or one CAPTCHA. We will pick you up from your home. Watch for our purple limousine.

We are not responsible for any pain, excruciating pain, deaths, excruciatingly painful deaths, or pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows.

See you there,

Island Manager 

*You will have to pay for the popcorn. 

-----

You pack your belongings right away, and as soon as you finish, a shiny violet limousine parks in front of your house. You run outside, dragging your AE and(/or) your CAPTCHA with you. The car door opens, and you get in. Before you know it, you are driven away in a whirl of mauve.

*************** 

I will let you all know when we have enough people, and then no more people can join. 

And you may start guessing as to who I am starting the moment you join.

Um, hi. I am going to finish this. Eventually.

*bursts into tears* 

Everything's so absolutely crazy, mostly in a good, exciting way, but not good in one way: because all the many things this season have taken away my time from this. And I know deep in my heart that this will be finished. 

Eventually. That word pains me so much.

But that's all I can promise. All I have promised. And this is all I can say. 

I keep having to get cut short. This is one of two major breaks from posting in the course of this story. (You remember the other one; I sprang back, and I'll do it again)So much, so much, good, bad, good, bad....and somehow in the midst of it all, this story slipped away. Every once in a while I would think about it...then push it back, because there was something more pressing, more this, more that. And even in the moments when I knew I could rest, could write, I chose to do something else. To write something else, to sing,to whatever. So it's a mix of me, a mix of things I've made happen, like accomplishmenets, and things that I don't make happen but make happen anyway. I guess I've just been busy, and not prioritizing everything.

I guess none of this really matters...I hope it doesn't sound like excuses. I just felt like I owed you something. First of all, to say that this story will be finished. And second of all, I didn't want to just leave it like that, because maybe then you'd think, "Oh no, has there been some kind of emergency? Has she been kidnapped? Has she gone into DEPRESSION?" (Maybe that's not what you would think, but that's what might cross my mind because I can be imaginatibe at times XD) Haha no. Seriously nope. My life is pretty great right now. Just busy, and forgetting about this. Which is a little deal and a big deal all at once.

Even now, as my strange mix of guilt and determination fills me...I have something to do, due tonight.

By popping in and letting you know that I'm still here, I hopefully clear some doubt. I don't think I'm helping anything, but at least I'm not harming anything, which I would be doing if I allowed silence to drag on, and not tell you that yes I will finish this.

I've promised, and I don't break promises like that. But not just because of that. Also because I love this story, and I love sharing it with you all, because you are so amazing, and your excitement about it has meant so much to me, encouraged me to go far. And for being there, as friends. :)

So. That was meant to be about two short-sweet-and-to-the-point paragraphs, but you know me :) that's just who I am. And once again like me, not time (or not the patience?) to preview :P so apologies for any typos!

I'll try to start poking around the CB, but I can't promise lengthy posts on threads. As for this thread, (for the...3rd time???) I will finish this story...eventually :( :) :( :) :////

I love you guys, and keep up your amazingness!!!
