Long-overdue Apology & a HUGE Thank You!

I feel so, so terrible...

With great shock, I realized I haven't posted ANYTHING in TWO WEEKS!!! Two weeks is an incredibly long time when it comes to blogging. This is so not acceptable, and I want to take this time to sincerely apologize to anyone who I might have let down with this involuntary hiatus.

These past two weeks seem to have just flown by and I have no idea where they went.

I had been in kind of a writing slump even before these two weeks - can you believe I STILL haven't written my review for Before I Wake? It's been a month since I've read it! *sigh* Then real life got really busy and somewhat stressful, and to top it all off, there was/is all this drama in the blogosphere going on.

I won't go into detail or really talk about all the horrible things that have been going on, but they have shaken me up quite a bit.

Even though, none of the issues affected me personally - apart from probably the whole MyFreeCopyright mess (go HERE to find out what I'm talking about if you don't know already) - but it all just makes me really, really sad.

I have only been blogging for six months, but have already made a few really wonderful blogger friends, and I was having a fantastic time, but all this negativity going around kind of put a damper on all that. Maybe some people will say I'm overreacting, and that's it's really not that bad, but I am a very emotional person and things like these just get to me and can really put me down. It's why - apart from tweets for the YA Crush Tourney - I have been staying offline for the most part of the last three or four days. It's been refreshing and so relaxing as well.

So, yes, this is basically why I have been somewhat of a slacker around here lately, but I am starting to find my groove back, so be on the lookout for more regular posts coming your way.

Thank you so much for not giving up on me!!! I really, truly appreciate each and every one you!!!
