The last time I uploaded anything that could be called a proper story, or even part of one, was March 5, 2018. Since then, with the changes in work and how I have to allocate my mental resources, I just kind of...lost my will to write. Or rather, to do the "sit down and write" like I used to; I still wrote a ton, but they couldn't be called stories and weren't worth sharing.

But I've finally finished a story, and with the time I put into it, I had to give up a couple of things that made me happy, but by God did seeing myself actually create something give me a feeling of fulfillment that I haven't felt in a long, long time. And seeing it finished, that feeling is all the greater.

As always, I can't guarantee you'll all like it, in fact I'll say first that it's about something I've never written about before and is even in a style I don't think I've written before, but for reasons that still confuse me, people still watch me and occasionally add me to their watch lists, and it's time enough I gave them something to look at.

So, as a birthday present to myself for happening to finish it around my birthday, if all goes as planned, I'll be uploading the first part on June 17 and will keep uploading weekly until it's all posted.

Just like old times...
