Oh man, haha, I actually thought to myself "I wonder if Richards is still around." Glad to know you still are! Ahhh, you're the first person to pop in, and I have this mess spread across multiple sites. It's weird how I need feedback to breathe in a writing environment. Most of the writing advice I see is "ignore the readers, write for you." No! I mean, I'm writing what I want, but without people hanging on for updates, I'm not nearly as motivated.
Now that you've commented, I've got that necessary drive to write the next bit. ...Not chapter 6, that's written, but beyond that. Yayy!
