I must regretfully inform you all that I will not be releasing a mid-week chapter. I just finished a grant proposal for my class that has sapped all my creative energy and a small piece of my soul. I will be posting a chapter on Sunday as usual and I will work to send out a bonus chapter next week as compensation for skipping this one.

If any of you are looking for something to read in the meantime, I have a new book I am writing for the Writathon challenge called Khiral. I have 20,000 words to pump out by the weekend [insert crazed laughter here] to meet the deadline and will not be proofing it until after that, so if you notice any corrections let me know and I will work on them later next week. It is rough and not up to my standards as of right now, but I am enjoying the challenge. The Interlude Freind or Foe is an exception as it is a chapter I am particularly proud of; I wrote it with a friend as a thought exercise and I think it turned out really well. If you would prefer to wait until it is edited properly that is fine.

I will be posting a couple more chapters of that story tonight after I read through them while I decompress watching Fairy Tail and glaring at my proposal. So, if they seem off to you or I start writing about talking cats, you know why. I would appreciate it if you could try to refrain from negatively reviewing my new story or judging it until I fix it up after the challenge ends. At this point, I would appreciate any constructive criticism available and will work to improve it with those in mind.

I will continue writing TDD, so do not worry about this being the start of a trend of missed weeks. Finals are only three weeks away for me so things are a bit chaotic, but once that is done I will be writing like crazy. I wish you all a lovely week and weekend!
