I fell off the map for quite some time. Life happens, I guess. Priorities change, reality sets in, paths open, or close, life moves on without us. In the process, the things we love, tend to be lost, to be found years later, to be loved again.
It's been eating at me for some time now, that I left the story hanging. Whether due to the lack of motivation, writers block, stress, whatever, I could not stay away.
My focus is going to be primarily on tuning up the holes in the existing chapters. Flourishing the slack, expanding on the dullness of my fiction.
Where it goes from there, time will tell.
