I just wanted to let my readers know that I've had to back down from my twice a week posting pace for two reasons. First, I've had to put in a lot more hours at work the past few weeks and it is cutting into my writing time. Second, I've made some changes to my first draft of Taylor's confrontation with her father (part 16) and the family meeting (part 17). I think the result that I posted is better overall than my original draft and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Unfortunately some of what I thought were small changes had some big ripple effects and I've ended up having to rewrite most of what will be posted in part 18.

Hopefully work will ease up and I can also reach a point in the story where I can reuse more of my first draft and get back to my twice a week posting rate.
