#3: A Brief Account of Recent Times · 8:51am Feb 19th, 2014
I realise it's been a while since I last updated The Country of Roses. Now, I won't bombard you with excuses about work or school or life or any of those things, and I won't plead with you to understand or forgive me, however I do feel a need to explain myself to my readers, and any of those who may fear that Roses has joined the huge mountain of unfinished stories out there on the web. Goodness knows, I've had a lot of projects wind up like that, but this won't be one of them. I enjoy it too much. The fact of the matter is that my attention has been distracted by a lot of things. I recently became engrossed in completing a couple of book series I've been reading for a couple of years now, namely Michael Grant's Gone and Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt, and beginning Robert Silverberg's Lord Valentine's Castle. I have also been distracted with some stuff related to writing, including undertaking a course with the Writer's Bureau, aiding some friends of mine with collaborative works and plots for multiple table top role-playing games which seem to periodically wax and wane, and my continuing involvement in the Doctor Who fan-made audio series, for which I would like to write some stories independent of the overall canon of the project. More recently, I have become even more addicted to Guild Wars 2, for which a new chapter in the grand storyline has been released. It's dreadful, I know, I should have been spending more time on writing Roses for those who have stayed with me, and believe me I will. The next chapter is already fairly underway. Just, you know, be patient.
