Just want you to know that we all appreciate you sharing your story with us, but you shouldn't feel like you have to make the updates. I hope it has been as fun writing the story hour as it has been reading it.
Actually, it has been immensely rewarding.
Sometimes fun. Sometimes very, very frustrating. I am actually looking forward to starting the new thread - I guess that I felt that winding up the current one to my complete satisfaction was necessary before I could come at the new one 'fresh', as it were. That was hard.
It has also required more self-discipline that I thought myself capable of. Time is a big constraint - I don't have anything like as much as I need, and stealing the odd hour here and there was an unsatisfactory way for me to write. I am beginning to adjust, however. I need to 'get it out' and down on paper (or a WP screen, in this case.)
Thanks to everyone for your support - I
really couldn't have done it without you. If I've seemed absent, or unresponsive to your questions at times, then I apologize but time, time, time....
Now I have 3 tasks:
1) Begin the new thread. This will be a pleasant break from...
2) Edit the master document for Virtue, Heretic and Rape into something publishable - as noted by Taren Seeker. This will be arduous, and frankly, I dread it - I'm more critical of my work than anyone else. It is necessary, however. It will take a long time.
3) Update 'Divertimento' when the other stuff becomes too overwhelming. The pace is different, and although it has only been five or six very infrequent sessions, the game has a lot of potential. I judge that updates to this thread will be very, very infrequent.
Thanks again for many kind words, and continued support.
No doubt, see you around soon.
Jim.
