Hey folks:
I know it's been a really, REALLY long time since I've updated, and I thought I should explain myself. Beyond my full time job, which eats up an insane amount of my time, I have spent the last three years writing a book. It has been a long, hard road trying to finish this darn thing, but now - finally - the end is in sight. Not done yet, but very close (with the first draft, anyway). I don't know if I'll ever be able to get it published or anything, and while I'd like to, that was never really the point anyway.
It's about the writing, right? Just the simple act taking these people (some might call them "characters," but they really don't appreciate that)who show up in your head one day, demanding you tell their story, and putting it all on paper. So you have to do that - there's really no other option. And these people are very loud and surprisingly self-centered and they push aside all the other people in your head (like our wonderful Willow and Tara) so that you can properly focus only on them. Don't worry, though, Willow and Tara are locked safely away in their own little room, having an absolutely fabulous time.
In any case, I do apologize for leaving those of you who were reading this story hanging - I know I always hate when a story I'm reading falls off the face of the earth. I do hope to finish TOD at some point - once I finish my book and can get these non-Willow and Tara people to finally stop their yacking.
In the meantime, if I might be so bold... I highly recommend "Impulse" by ophelia11, "Van Rosenberg II - Lord of Ice and Shadow" by the incomparable Alcy (I've read everything she's written at least 5 times), or "The Apothecary" by Tara the Phoenix. Fabulous stories, all.
