A. Am I alive?
Yes.
B. What the hell happened to publishing this story?!?
I will give you the short answer as the long one would entail a whole other story to explain. Basically, my wife and I have agreed to separate. It was very mutual and we honestly gave it our all. We both love each other dearly and talk pretty much every day. However, with her wanting to live the picket-fence life with babies and dogs and a house and fights over where to spend the holidays and me wanting to live the littlefur life in a different state and to take on a 'momma' to live with...I think you can see why it just wasn't working.
So, I packed up and moved out to Washington State. I am still getting settled, though I have met some amazing folks who have been great to hang out with. I feel as though I am already established here and am coming to realize that I made the right choice. The work I am doing here is much more rewarding than my old job, too. I am finding the emotional fulfillment I had been lacking for as long as I can remember.
Eventually, I will publish the trilogy. I fully understand if all of you have lost your patience with me. I apologize. It is done, it is edited, it is in its final form. I just have to acquire enough funds to commit to said printing and that will take a bit of time as I am still recovering from moving expenses.
Again, I am very sorry for the delay. Thank you all so much for stopping by! ^^

It was much more than that. There was the conflict with wanting kids (including when) and also where we wanted to live, as well. At the core of it, though, was the disconnect she and I have between each other in the way we feel loved. I feel it through a 'nurturing parent' while she feels it in the more traditional sense, if that makes sense.
I still have other things I like to do outside of littlefur-dom. I have a much better job out here and wider group of friends. Also, my chances are much, MUCH higher of finding a Momma.
We were both making each other unhappy and it took years of counseling and troubleshooting until we realized that it just wasn't working. Before kids came into the picture, I decided this was our best shot at being happy. I wish nothing but the best for her. As for me, I am living more the life of an AB/LF and enjoying it.
So, I really didn't leave so much to live as a littlefur as I did to try and allow both of us to find that fulfillment we weren't getting from each other.
