Hey all,

Just wanted to let you guys know of a decision regarding "Beat to Quarters", as well as some good news on the homefront. First, regarding BtQ. I don't currently have any work done on the next chapter. It's going to stay that way for a while, because I'm planning to rewrite/edit much of the already published portion. Why, you may ask?

New chapter of "Beat to Quarters" is complete, and I don't have a pre-reader anymore, so all I need to do is format it to this site. Expect to see it tonight or tomorrow.

EDIT: It's up.

Cheers,

Yeah. Writer's block. I have it. The worst part is, I find myself writing, but not for the story I'm really attached to (that'd be Beat to Quarters). I've even started the sequel, and I haven't even finished the damn story yet. Sorry I'm so slow at updating, and fear not, I haven't forgotten you guys or the story. It's just coming along slower than I expected.

P.S. In other news, I got tapped to attend a soldier of the month board, so I'm studying my flank off.

I'm flying back to Ft. Benning today to finish out my Army training. This will be as before, no internet and no writing (like I was writing anyway). I'll be back online Feb. 1 when I get to my permanent duty station.

Hey all, just wanted to let you know I'm on holiday block leave from basic training and made it home safe despite the lake effect snow. I'm already enjoying the break and spending some time with my family before I finish up basic and head to my duty station.

EDIT:

Upon a second look at the story, and reading every chapter, the reviewer approved it. He said he was tired and being too picky, which I understand. It's gotta be hard going through stories which don't really interest you. I bear him no ill will. However, my question to you still stands.

The Earth got used up Wait, no, that’s wrong. Take two.

I’m heading to basic training on Monday. Hopefully there will be one more chapter this week which will wrap up one of the cliffhangers from last chapter. There will be no updates until at least the middle of December. I will be back to my writing as soon as I’m done getting screamed at and learning how to drive tanks.

I'd like to say a few things to my followers/readers.
