Hi all! I wanted to let you know that I am still alive. I am still struggling but I am slowly picking myself back up. While no new chapters yet there is still work being done. I am going through all of the current chapters and doing some cleaning - adding descriptive details, clarifying tenses, things of that nature, but the hope is to make it more readable. Also, working on some Patreon content that I am really excited about. If all things go well and I am smiled upon by the muses of writing, there will be some stuff up this week. Yay!

Thank you all for baring with me, you all are the best readers that anyone could ask for.
