Good evening, dear readers!
I'll begin with a bit of clarification; I know that I had indicated that Chapter Seven was incomplete. I rescind that statement, in lieu of some discussion with my editors as well as some introspection on my behalf. The scene that I had planned to tack onto the end of Chapter Seven felt a bit rushed to me, and I plan on carefully re-writing it as the beginning of Chapter Eight.
Now, for the plea: know any good artists? I am actively seeking interested artists to do a bit of work inspired by this story! Now, I would fill those shoes myself, but let me assure you, dear reader, that my artistic ability is akin to that of an amputee with Parkinson's trying to recreate Da Vinci. Should you feel interested in doing a bit of work for Cantering Death, not only would you have my eternal gratitude, but I would without question feature your art within the story itself wherever it seems situationally appropriate. Drop me a line at kcanradio@gmail.com if I've piqued your interest! I will accept any and all submissions.
Moving right along: I am trying my absolute damndest to banish any lingering laziness. Admittedly, I have been recovering from a rather nasty cold for the past few days, but I more or less feel as though that I'm over the worst of it (save for the occasional sniffle). Also! I just learned that I'll have the next few days off from work - I am trading a few shifts with a coworker, so that will give me copious amounts of free time. Expect some rather lengthy updates in the very near future: much like a snowball tumbling down Everest, I feel like this story is gaining mass as it rolls along.
Thank you all for your continued interest in this story! You guys make me feel all warm and tingly, for lack of a better analogy.
Horrifically yours,
-Scriber
