    It's only been... a decade?

    Well, this isn't something I expected to be doing. I've been hanging around the fandom on the periphery for a while. I've never really gone away but time just hasn't been available. Since I last posted a chapter here, I worked five years in a maximum security prison, got married, had a six-year-old daughter and bought a house. I'm a manager in a much less dangerous field now and I'm doing

    Making a living is an unfortunate side effect of living

    I was tempted not to write this, as every other time I have expressed optimism on my coming ability to get writing time I have then been hit with even less time. So, this is not an 'expect an update' soon post. Real life hit me hard, and I'm only now staggering back to my feet.

    The Hardest. Possible. Chapter.

    I can't believe how long this chapter is taking. I want to apologize to y'all for the delay after promising a faster turn around. I think the chapter might be cursed. I've rewritten it several times, and the coordinated death of all three of my computers sidelined me for a week. I've also just started a new job. After working eight years in radio, taking a temp job in a warehouse is a big change.

    What the Well!?

    As I was working on chapter 4 today, I realized I have never explained this expression. It isn't just a clean ponification of "what the Hell." I don't shy away from actual cursing in Homecoming, so it isn't an aversion to using the word "Hell," rather that I am unsure it would make sense.

Making a living is an unfortunate side effect of living · 4:53am Mar 24th, 2013

I was tempted not to write this, as every other time I have expressed optimism on my coming ability to get writing time I have then been hit with even less time. So, this is not an 'expect an update' soon post. Real life hit me hard, and I'm only now staggering back to my feet.

That said, I have stabilized a bit. Enough that I have been able to stick to an oath I made to myself last week. That oath being "I will find time to write 250 words a day." That is about as far from a blistering pace as can be, but it is something. Honestly, it just feels good to get something down. This small daily progress has done wonders for me. While I would like to be able to sit down and hammer out several thousand words, trying to do that just kept me from getting anything down. "I won't be able to get much done, might as well just not."

So, what is this post about? I'm not dead, and for the first time in a long time I feel like a writer again. Progress is being made. So to those who have stuck around, thank you. I don't know when, and I won't make a guess, but I will keep working to continue the tales that hopefully entertain you.

I've just read through homecoming and I have to say I quite enjoyed it. There are a couple of spelling errors or relicts (Contagion's in-chapter title "Triage" is the same listed title as chapter 1), but on the whole it's well written.
I certainly wouldn't be adverse to seeing a bit more, if you finally start running again.
