@Garyay This made my day; thank you!! I am continuing Rise from the Ashes, as well as Inevitable & Infinite, but it is very much at a turtle's pace. I still have a sliver of motivation for the both of them due to the big plans I have, and I'm latching onto that, but the lack of it combined with the little time I have is very detrimental to writing them. I revisit the documents and add a little bit at a time, slowly building it up. It's taken me many months to reach even three thousand words on the next chapter for Rise from the Ashes, so it's very slow-going, but I continue to add little bits when I can. The main takeaway is that I'm not abandoning it, I assure you. Realistically, it'll be a while particularly due to the ridiculously chaotic changes in my life at the moment, but I look forward to being at least able to finish the next chapter and post it for you to read :) Thank you again for the uplifting comment!!
