I ain't dead yet!

Basically, the title's the situation in a nutshell! But here's whats going down. It's all good news too, so don't flip or anything, m'kay?

When Kickin' Flanks got featured on EQD and the massive (okay, massive by my standards) outpouring of favorites and views came in, I really decided to put my hoof down and get this done. There's a new and completed chapter being read by my proofreader, and I'm even at least a fourth of the way through the following chapter, and that's basically a record for me. I've also been working on my outline to keep more on point, because the unreleased & finished portion actually kind of bucked me up. I also didn't fully crystallize some of my ideas and now a major amount of my daily thought processes have been devoted to ironing out the kinks. Point is, you're going to actually get more things to read! Heck, I even have a few follow-up ideas floating about, but honestly I can't promise much more at this early of a time than sheer intent.

Also, a word of warning: as the completed new chapter stands, there's a really weird interpretation of a certain character. It's most likely original (I sure haven't seen anything like it), it's funny (at least I hope so!), but it's also just radically different. If the idea manages to stay, I just want you all to understand that I've got an angle with it, and as a joke it'll develop and hit the punchline as the story progresses. In fact, it even might connect back to what I was saying about follow-up ideas. I'm probably just being super paranoid, but it would make me feel significantly better if minds were open about what's about to happen next, okay?

Righto, that's everything. I'm really on the edge of my seat right now, and I hope you are too.
