I know (and completely understand why) most people assume that this fic has been abandoned, but I have every intention of finishing it. I just can’t make any promises as to when that might happen. Kind notes like yours can only help me get me going again.
As to why there’s been a two-year layoff since the last update, well, I don’t want to make excuses, but it’s been a strange couple of years for me. My work schedule got busier and harder to negotiate around, there was definitely some bouts of writer’s block in there, and then, more recently, I lost my father rather unexpectedly, and, to be perfectly honest, I haven’t really enjoyed doing much of anything in the aftermath of that -- even writing, which has always been my escape from whatever crap is going on around me.
I’ve started to feel a bit more like myself again, though, and I actually even read over the very rough, rough draft of the next chapter of WWDK again the other night. I think I’m getting to the point where going back and working on that story is something I’m genuinely looking forward to. Again, no timeline on when you might expect an update, but it doesn’t seem like quite as much of an impossibility as it might have a few months ago.
So that’s my really long-winded attempt at explaining why the story hasn’t been updated and that I still have every intention of finishing it. I also really wish I could convey how much it means to me that people still remember the story and are interested in seeing it completed. It is such an unexpected gift, and I appreciate it so much.
