I received a PM from someone today, worried that I had disappeared since many of my main stories have not been updated for some time. I'm still here :)

Okay, so this person though and I agreed that it would be a good idea to let everyone know what has been going on.

A few years ago, I had developed a serious medical problem. Lost almost all the feeling from the waist down, could barely manage to walk with a cane and fell a lot. what feeling I did have left was the most intense pain that you could imagine, which of course led to painkillers that left my mind in a deep fog. The surgery I finally went thru was a success, although due to my pain tolerance being so high and not getting it looked at there was some permanent nerve damage.

Hey no worries, I regained more feeling in my legs than I lost. Walking without a cane and I can feel my toes again. Although getting life back on an even keel is still an ongoing process.

Now all this, of course, has affected my writing, try as I might I have not been able to sit down and write like I once did. I'm sure one day I will finally break out of this slump. Until then my plan of attack is to finish off the stories I have unfinished one at a time since I can't bounce back and forth between them adding 5 to 10 thousand words each week like I once did.

In that planning, part 8 of 'For Better or Worse' should be out soon and part 9 when I get that written should be the finale. A second book for that character is planned, but will work on either Kelly's story or Super soldier before I start it.
