good evening, cyberspace!
Once again we must come to you with unfortunate news. Last Tuesday we posted an announcement that said our newest smudge — StoryTime With Kenzie! The Day I Nearly Died — would be posted today. On Friday.
Like three hours ago.
Unfortunately, though every member of our staff has been working tirelessly all day today and yesterday (seriously, guys, I’ve been working on this basically since I got up this morning. I am fried.), we have been physically unable to finish the post.
The reason for this, we have decided, is because this is a story that is A) extremely close to our hearts (because it was so trauMATIC, OH MY GOODNESS), and B) one that we have been sitting on for nearly an entire year now, which has caused the post in question to expand to unnatural and quite abominable proportions.
meaning it is currently at over 4,500 words. ahahahahahahaha. help me.
SO. Because of our love for this particular StoryTime, we really, really, really, really do not want to rush the writing of it, even if that means we have to — once again — bump this post up a couple of days to give us some more time to get it right. And besides, this is literally the most fun we’ve had with any sort of writing project in a very, very long time, and we would honestly hate to lose this feeling of excitement and joy to the stress and brain-deadness of having to get a post out before midnight.
It is therefore with our deepest regrets and apologies that we must ask you to wait just a little bit longer for the StoryTime With Kenzie post.
We are so, so extremely sorry, but when it comes to posting a post that is mediocre today, or getting some sleep and posting a post that we absolutely adore in three days. . .
. . .we are totally choosing the sleep, guys, let’s be honest.
Once again, we must apologize for any possible inconvenience and continue to hope that you will not start a riot with three angry pigs and stab us in the toes with a rusty pitchfork in your burning wrath and fiery anger.
As always, we hope you have the most splendidest of nights, and we’ll see you all here on Tuesday.
And also possibly Friday.
And maybe Monday.
Who even knows at this point.
I’m so tired.
Sincerely,
The Smudged Thoughts Team

Anyone want to join me predicting that the final version of this particular Storytime with Kenzie will end up 5,000 words? xD
Good luck!

You get some sleep, Kenzie; we’ll be here when you get back (no matter how long it gets…) (And I won’t even bring my pitchfork. [I’m so kind. I deserve some kind of award for good social skills.])

This is Kenzie’s secret method of drawing out the suspense so as to make sure the EVERYONE is waiting with anticipation for when it actually arrives. Well done, my friend. I see your sneaky schemes.
