At first I had writers block for several months, not being able write much I didn't hate. Afterwards I got absorbed in my own life and my old laptop died. This was bad because I had my story outline and research there, and of course it wasn't backed up. However, I have gotten back into writing and am happy with how chapter 3 is coming. Although I won't be able to write chapter 4+ until I can redo my research, trying to keep it somewhat historically accurate with names and all that.

Going forward I will finish chapter 3, and while I do my research for chapter 4 I will be starting another story. I have a few different ideas and I'll see which one takes a life of its own. As of now I've been re-reading a couple of my favorite stories, which I was pleased to see that Synergy is related to one of them (Harry Potter - When Past and Present Collide by Elizabeth Jean).

In addition to this, part of my New Year's Resolution is getting back in shape and writing a depression help book (or website, just depends). After 11 years of chronic depression I feel like it is my responsibility to help others that are suffering from it. I hope everyone has a fantastic year and please look forward to several posts from me.

Happy New Years everyone!
