About chapter 7 and 8...a delay that was unintentional...

To simply put it, I have some writer's block so far. It's difficult to get into the mindset of writing when I was just a few days away from the mindset of the finals. And damn it all...finals took priority over the writing just then, and now I'm trying to get out of that mindset.

Long story short: it is NOT easy to get out of a mindset that one is determinedly, stubbornly holding onto for dear life for the sake of surviving the finals. ESPECIALLY at an art school. To make things worse, it is NOT easy to shift that mindset into writing and inspiration, especially because I am so uptight about my focus and exceptionally paranoid about being perfect for my writing mood and all. That and...inspiration is just so damn fickle in my mind, since I jump from one to another so easily if I'm not careful, and I can easily mess up the entire conglomeration of them into a tied up ball if I don't untie them with caution.

Chapter 7 and 8 are going to have a few surprises, indeed. To my readers out there, Haru isn't exactly the same as the Haru in canon; she's more observant (due to her self-criticism for not being watchful enough of things), a tad more serious (though that is mostly due to the fact that she now realizes the situation she is in) and quite a bit more thoughtful. She has realized the extent of what is going on, and knows that the best way to proceed through the world is to help her friends find a way to not be sucked into the world of the underground like a black hole gravitation force. Tsuna, also, has realized a few things; he is no longer the Tsuna we know in canon, for he is now much more aware of the fact that he cannot live like he originally wanted to (thanks to Uni's death), much more accepting of the role due to the necessity (unlike the Tsuna who whines and cries about being forced into the role) and not willing to back down from changing anymore, especially since he now knows that being just Tsuna is going to drag everyone down.

And, that's not the only change here. Keep watching and you will see. ;)
