    Always the hardest...

    Twelve and a half years ago, a pure white cat walked into my life and front door. She had six kittens in tow and eight more inside her. She was hungry and needed love. I gave her all she could ever want. Six months later, when the second litter was just starting to ween, her lungs nearly failed. For twelve years, every three days I gave her medication. She thrived and returned the love given. She

    Coping of a Former Human Removed (Deleted)

    Today, I have removed the "A Deer Named John" companion piece "Coping of a Former Human" from my published stories list. I've been considering this action for a long time (years) and have finally made the move. The reason being that it doesn't easily fit with what I have planned moving forward with its group of stories. Those stories I still want to write, just they now no longer have the weight

    State of the next chapter

    Have spent part of this week nibbling away at what could be considered the cold opening of the next chapter, which wasn't originally planned for. The fun of adjusting the end of the previous chapter. Reviewed the overall notes as well and am currently dealing with an issue which would have become a plot hole in about eight or ten chapters time so doing best to plug it before that can happen.

    It is finally here!

    It is here. It is FINALLY here! Approximately two years from the date I was originally aiming for and on a date I otherwise wouldn't have but the distraction is very welcome. The new chapter is finally out of my hands!

    As the author's notes say at the end of the chapter:

A couple more things · 11:11pm Jan 2nd, 2020

I have yet to hear from anyone who has or thinks they have spotted the terrible music joke in Spot of Tea, Change for Me? and the one in the chapter Wake Up Call. One of them will be made very clear in one of the upcoming shorts. I don't doubt you will all be groaning when they are revealed.

Other news, as you all are undoubtedly aware, the first short for A Deer Named John released. I had to leave some stuff out of it as it was holding up the chapter. Those elements will come to light in later shorts and arc chapters.

On an issue that is dragging on me, please just let the story play out. It is nowhere near finished. I have plans to address certain concerns and issues people have raised from time to time. They are actually written into the preparation notes for the future chapters they are to occur in and I am not going to address them sooner. Trust me, I truly get that fixation on things happens, it happens with me too. A lot. All part of my mental condition. But, with everything else happening to me right now, this is starting to wear me down. And it may get to the point where I throw out the whole project as a result. I have addressed this enough and really don't want to again.

Simply put, PLEASE just let the story play out. I love the feedback and am very open to constructive criticism but this is getting beyond that point and I neither want to snap at anyone or mentally snap myself.

Wishing everyone the best,

A very tired Tael.
