week 7: Spoken Too Soon...

Due to my spiraling financial situation, I am going to have to move.  It turns my stomach to say this, but I am not going to finish Softly Tenderly for this years Hallowscream issue.

I'm not stopping my work, the story will be finished, just nowhere near as soon as I would like.  Now just isn't the time I guess.  This whole year my life has been stair stepping down into the mud, but since July it has been an extra slippery patch.  I've been working triage as much as I can, but it has become obvious that there will be no forward progress for me this year when I cannot even hold my ground.  So it goes...

I won't be stopping by any means, but I suspect that it will be a month or more before I have anything new to report.  I may be overestimating there.  I'm going to hold off on anymore promises.  I no longer no what my future holds.  I hate moving and I hate for my personal rituals to be disrupted.  There is no way around it though.  Check back in a month or three and hopefully I will have positive news.

Week 6: Just when I thought...

I had planned this post to be a regret that I was going to be unable to complete Softly Tenderly in time for the Hallowscream, but I discovered this week that the final deadline is October 23rd.  This changes things a bit.  I've been thrown WAY off track with the tumultuous events of this past summer and have struggled to get back to where I need to be.  This adds a good bit of fuel to my fire.  There is indeed hope.  :-)
