Winter Lull

I realize it's been some times since I've said anything.. and while I still don't have a story ready for you yet I thought I'd give you a quick update regardless. As I've mentioned a few times already, for a whole bunch of reasons winter is a slower time of the year for me to write. But as it's starting to warm up again, I'm getting lighter work and finding myself with both slightly more motivation and more free time!

I am also busy writing multiple "threads" at once I guess is a way to put it. Megan/Andrea, Lea, and Sophia all acting mostly independent but not completely. And while none are yet publishable, I have been making a lot of progress the last week and a bit especially. I want to get everything lined up right so that interactions happen the way I have them in my head. That might mean that I'd rather hold back until everyone's caught up with everyone else. This is bad in that it might make the wait for the next story longer. But it's good in that (a) I'd feel more comfortable publishing when everyone's caught up so everything meshes well and (b) it will make the wait for the part after next a bit shorter.

Just like how parts 14 and 15 kind of started off together and split, parts 16, 17 and 18 will probably be released more closely to each other. But that makes part 16 potentially a bit longer of a wait than it otherwise would be.

Trust me, as a sometimes obsessive fan of many a thing (latest new obsession being Saga.. come on once a month? I read the first 25 chapters in a weekend, once a month is practically torture!) I know first hand waits can suck. But I also know you'd rather I take my time and have it be up to standard than rushed and fall short. I just thought I'd keep you all updated on how the progress has been going.
