I'm home now, and luckily, I got a lot of work done on chapter 11 while I was in the middle of nowhere with no cell service. I'm gonna do my best to get more work done so that it's not another 3 months before the next update.
I'm currently up in Utah right now with my Grandpa and cousin. On Saturday we depart for Idaho for a bear hunting trip, which will be good for writing, funny enough. Hunting is 50 percent walking, 45 percent sitting totally still, and 5 percent "oh fuck is that an animal".
Work was moving along nicely, it really was. Then... I slowed down a bit and looked back at what I had written, and I did a little rewrite, and then I began to really look at what I had done and... I decided a total rewrite of the 4000 words I had was in order.
His final words on the blackbox were surprisingly sad. I don't know why they got to me. Rest in peace, Rich. Hope you got to see the Orca's in the sky, my man.

I miss him and I've never even met him.
I'm out of the loop. Who is Rich?

Wow, now that's an epic way to leave this world.
Still, the fact that he was suicidal makes it all the more depressing, I'm sorry for him and his family.
