Kit's life is fine...or basically alright...or at least not particularly bad...depending on the day. Or, at least, it was fine, before everyone's life went topsy-turvy with the arrival of a global pandemic. Sure, the new bug might not hurt you, but it certainly has the capacity to turn your life upside-down - and his life is fine as-is, isn't it? But as society tries to cope with the necessary preventative measures, and Kit struggles to come to terms with his own feelings on the matter, it's an open question whether he'll make it out of this without ending up a bit different than he went in...

To my considerable annoyance, I think we have to leave things here for a bit. When I resumed serialization on "Nyandemic" this spring, I had what should've been a reasonable buffer built back up; unfortunately, the Universe spent the next several months dropping one thing after another into my lap :/

While stuff has mostly been dealt with and I, personally, am doing Pretty Okay, the end result was that I've been burning through that buffer much faster than I've been adding to it. I'm still really enjoying writing this, but I don't want to push myself so hard that the quality of my writing suffers and/or I hit the point of burnout.

To that end, much as I hate to do it, I'm going to call a hiatus, and focus on writing at a comfortable pace 'til things are back in a position where I can (hopefully) push through to The End. Thankfully, this isn't the same position I found myself in last time - I've worked through the things that stumped me and I know where everything is going, it's just a matter of getting there.

While it annoys me that I have to do this, I'm incredibly grateful for all of you who've rejoined me for the continuation of my weird little story, and I hope to see you next time - same cat-time, same cat-channel =^_^=

(I swear, *next* one's just gonna be a manageable little novella...)
