I just got done writing chapter 17, Once I get done with chapter 20, the story will come out of hiatus. The reason for this is to hopefully help prevent a future hiatus, just in case I get hung up on a chapter like I did on 17.

I've been hung up on chapter 17 since before the hiatus and irl events and it was difficult for me to write because of the content, which contains one of the things on my "Will not write" list. I put that content in there so readers interested in that stuff can get something out of the series. For those not interested in that kind of content, all they have to read is the first part, which only contains normal content, the rest really isn't relevant to the rest of the series, which is another thing that made it difficult to write.

I am writing at a faster pace now, since the content is easier for me to write and hoping to be done with chapter 20 and ready to start posting again by the middle of January, but I cannot guarantee it. I really want to continue the series and have those interested in reading it to have something to read.

In order to get the series off of hiatus and get back to posting it, chapters 17-20 will be a little short.

I'm going to end this journal for now and get back to writing, I'll probably post another update at a later date.
