Sorry, to any who were following my work. IRL has been most unkind in the way only reality can be. I lost the battle to depression, laziness, and several of my other demons. I plan to try to get back to writing but I can't commit to more than a chapter a week. I will try to post the next chapter on Friday. Also of interest to any readers, I am going to try to change my writing style. I have always tended toward the detailed and wordy type of writing but I feel like my work has slowed to a crawl and the storyline hasn't progressed as fast as I would want it to when I read it back. I don't plan to change what I've already written but I want to try to speed the writing along from now on. I want to get a story told and I have a lot of it left so I will need to move things along. Also, on that note. I have numerous other stories that tie into this one along the way so I may postpone the story along the way to write in another story that will feature in this one somehow. If that occurs, I will be sure to let you know, either in the comments or the author's notes. If you have been following but never left a comment, not even a TFTC, please do so. It makes a big difference to every author whether their work is being read. I would encourage you to always leave a comment on any work you read. The rest of this is just going to be this message repeated to make up for the missing word count.
