I am extremely exhausted from the past now seven months of absolute nonsense and I need a break.

I genuinely believe I have been cursed at this point and am going to be taking a very short break of one to two weeks.

From the death of a pet,

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

to legal trouble,

to bureaucratic nonsense,

to unexpected family health trouble,

and on it goes.

I literally cannot deal with this crap and maybe taking a break from writing and trying something else will get whatever the hell this is off my back.

I promise to be back soon, but I'll be resting after my most recent computer issues that launched all my books back to the online backups on goddamn Halloween.

My OS is re-installed and my progress on the new subplot is back to a big fat goose egg.

Please be patient with me, because reality itself wants to shit in my cereal and I'm doing my best.
