It's been a long 21 months that have passed since you last heard from me. I'm not going to bore you with all the details of my absence because, frankly, I don't think you want to hear them, nor do I particularly want to revisit some of them.
Here's what I think you want to hear instead: "The Inches Between Us" is preliminarily scheduled to have its next chapter posted on March 19, 2022.
The chapter is mostly written - it was drafted in 2020, in fact - but it was never actually submitted for editing. The awesome jetson63 has confirmed that he will return to the editor's chair on my behalf, and I expect to get it to him before the middle of this week. That will give me some time to dive back into the heads, hearts, and lives of these characters who have been making their voices heard, if only subtly mixed into the morass of an extended depressive episode, asking me to continue their story.
I can't - yet - make any promises about a posting schedule, but I do promise to finish the story. Maybe even start another one.
Looking forward to all of you rejoining me on the path John and Lisa are walking --
