Even if you don't do that sort of thing. Good wishes, like a motion to adjourn, are always in order.
For those who haven't given up, thanks. I have not been ignoring you folks in particular, I have just been ignoring everyone.
I know, what a dick, right? I won't offer lame apologies because they are worth what you pay for them, just know it was not something I could blame on others in any case, it's all me, baby.
NEWS AND UPDATES
I have a new story out for editing and I think it will be fairly popular if you like my other stuff. Not a ground-breaking subject or treatment, but something I wanted to write someday anyway.
Some will be happy to learn that, despite my inexcusable tardiness, Dark Days 2 is complete and out for editing. No ETA on that, the other story was finished first and was put in the pipeline first, but DD2 does exist.
So, lessons learned so far?
1) Never start a serial story if you don't have a good outline and know where it is going before you start. You write yourself into a corner and, if you do manage to finish it, the ending is not something anyone is really happy about. (Empath)
2) Never promise a sequel unless it is COMPLETE before you open your trap. That just guaran-damn-tees the muses will enlist the fickle finger of fate to goose you. Those bitches went on a vacation and didn't even send a post card. (DD2)
I am sure there are more to follow. I am still relatively new at this writing thing, despite having been on here a couple of years now, and am learning more with every story I manage to get down on paper.
Thanks to those that hung in there. My apologies to those that lost faith, I can't blame them.
