Hey everyone, did you miss me?

Sorry this isn't a chapter, but I haven't posted in such a long time that I wanted to let my loyal readers know that I haven't croaked yet and am still alive and kicking. I think I mentioned this in an earlier chapter's authors note, but I am in the midst of preparing to go to college in Japan, and just today I finally got the stuff I needed back from Japan to get my visa. 

The whole process was incredibely stressful and made it difficult to concentrate on writing. I still have more stuff to do, like actually go to Japan, but the end is in sight. I do still plan to finish the first book of my outlined three book series, so you aren't rid of me yet.  

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

I can't promise another chapter in the immediate immediate future, but I should be able to put one out in a month or two at the latest once I get settled into life in Japan. I have also been working on a story that I think I want to try writing after I get the last few chapters of the first book of this story out, so if you think you might like other stuff I write you can look forward to that.

If you really can't bear to not read the ending for this story, in the distant future I do want to finish the three books I have outlined, with the eventual goal of a polished project for publication (I will post the story here first, even if I have to take it down later). So if you keep this story on your reading list or favorites I will post an announcement here in the future that you can check when I continue with this project.
