Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a second to touch base. I got hit with a surprise 11,000$ medical bill for a procedure I thought was fully covered by my insurance. As a result, my schedule is pretty hectic right now, and I haven't had the time or energy to do much writing. That doesn't mean I'm giving up on the story, only that releases will be slow going for a while. Sorry to everyone who's been enjoying my story, and especially the handful of people who joined my patreon. I don't know how long it'll be until I get back to my more regular releases, but I just thought everyone deserved a heads up about what was going on.
