Money, time, and energy are still limited on my end of things, and I'm sorry to all my friends and fans(?) that I have, once again, gone off the radar, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm doing better than before, and I hope to have my usual schedule of things organized and implemented soon. This does, of course, include writing, colorings, uploads, and generally being sociable and stuff. Regarding my writing, I think I'm always going to have trouble maintaining consistency with it, given all that goes on here at home and work, and the constant hassle of keeping myself focused, but I really want to strive to do more...and even go back and revise some of the stuff I've already written.
That being said, one of the things that has kept me from continuing VotF is the fact that there was more development that went on between Claude and Gene than I've presented, and I feel that others (if any really read it) won't see Gene as "enough" of a character to care about, at least as much as Claude did. Basically, it felt to me like I inadvertently rushed the story pace and glazed over something that was rather important at its core. I don't feel right letting it go as is, but I also don't want to just shove content between the chapters, either. I'm not sure what I'd want to do, or what is the best option for my dilemma, though. Worst case scenario, I'd have to rewrite the whole thing, and frankly, I'm not looking forward to that possibility.

Regarding new content, I'm having trouble choosing a single idea and sticking with it, because I want to do them all, and each one is, to me, kind of a big project to undertake. They're not ones I can easily do on my own, if at all. I'd really love if I could find people that would want to be part of a writing team, too, but then the issue of scheduling comes into play. Agh, I dunno... Maybe I'm overly stressing about this...

As for past owed/promised works, I am still whittling them down a little at a time. Most of my time, though, has been spent on work and recovery from work. This new job, though not the worst I've dealt with, can be very strenuous, both physically and mentally. I'm slowly getting adjusted to it, though...so hopefully that means I'll have more drive to write when I have time off.

Geez, I kinda feel a bit down now after writing this. Not what I was intending... Still, I wanted to put something out here, even if it's kinda the same as before. The past few months have been really crappy, save for a few heartwarming and fun moments, but it won't be that way forever. Past experiences taught me that. Anyways, I'll have some fun things to upload soon, and hopefully happier updates.

Oh, and if I don't get a chance to tell you all in time, I wanna wish all you lovelies a happy Valentine's Day. Skunkie hugs and nose boops for you all!
