Chapters Will Come... Eventually · 1:58am Nov 2nd, 2020
Hello, 14th C Friar fans (and fans of other stories, as this applies to those as well). Just a quick update here:
I'm not dead, and neither are my active stories.
Life has been, in a word, "complihectibusycated." I've had a lot on my plate that's just been... a lot, and that has significantly sapped my energy and ability to lose myself in the writing process. I've barely strung two words together for anything remotely related to creative writing for, well, a painfully long time.
I was grateful to FOME for the Ponidox contest in large part because writing Daring Do and the Ditzy of Infinite Possibility (easily one of the odder story ideas I've had) got me back into the writing saddle. Up until then, it had probably been two months, at least, since I'd even attempted to write something.
But I'm getting back into it now - I'm sifting through my notes and partial chapter sections, not just in 14th C Friar, but in other stories as well. I can't say any updates will be soon - in fact, I can practically guarantee they won't - but they will come.
Thank you all for your patience. Writing for you all is truly a delight for me, and I hope to get back into the swing of things over the next few months. Assuming some things come together, I'll be able to get back to a more regular schedule as we enter the new year.
In the meantime, please enjoy this beautiful artwork I found of the Winged Hussars at Vienna.
-Lots of clone troopers are bald
-Kenobi is dressed as a clone trooper
-General Kenobi, you are a bald one
Glad to hear from you. Here's hoping the complihectibusycations clear up soon.
*Boop!*

It's incredible really, someone shaves their beard and they look ten, twenty years younger.

It took Ewan McGregor three years in real life to become convincingly ten years older in the films, so this isn’t that shocking.
I'm glad to hear your stories and more importantly you aren't dead. Sorry to hear life has decided to come at you sideways that's always the pits. I wish you the absolute best and know I'll be waiting when you get back in the saddle your stories are to good not to wait for. You got this 👍👍👍

I can't think of anything meaningful to add, so I'll just second this sentiment.
Meanwhile, this song was playing:
Hope things go less mind-melty for you in coming days.
I’m sorry life has gone mad, as it does. I’m glad it’s on the upswing. Hope it stays that way.
You have been in my daily prayers my friend, you're worth waiting for.
Loved an image.
Didn't the Siege of Vienna (that Siege of Vienna) happen in 1683, though? Fantastic image, though, really captures the moment.
And don't worry! While I personally have been a bit bummed out by the fact that 14th C hasn't updated in a long time, I can completely understand being unable to write this year. And that's not even taking into account anything that might be going on in your particular life. Glad to hear life's better now, and I'll be awaiting patiently for your return.
Complihectibusycated. Yeah, I can relate.

Yeah, I'm not really sure why the picture says 1776. And that is clearly the only odd thing about the picture.
