I've been busy with a lot of things recently, including moving, school, work, and dealing with difficult people at work, among other challenges. I've hit a slight writer's block when it comes to developing the characters' reactions, which has been my main obstacle. However, I am gradually making progress. I apologize for not responding to everyone; so much has happened and continues to happen that I haven't had much time to log onto the site and update my stories. I promise it will happen—eventually.
