It's been a while since I posted an update, so I thought I would drop back in. Unfortunately, I haven't kept up the pace from earlier in the year, and am sitting at 56k words in HoH. The good news is that is still further along. The bad news is that I likely won't finish the draft this year unless something significantly changes about my situation. I love writing and really want to put out some more books, but it is very difficult, especially when it is not your primary occupation. I have a lot of respect for the people who are able to make/find time to bring their stories to life. For me, writing has always been more "hobby" than "job," as I have a solid day job that provides for myself and my family. That has to come first. The good thing about writing is that, long after I've retired from my day job, I should still be able to write. I have no intention of giving it up, and will finish these stories, even if I have to have a George RR Martin-esque amount of time between each one.
Anyway, thanks to anyone still lurking around here. It means a lot. And there are a lot of you who have encouraged me either in person or online and I appreciate it. As I said, not stopping. Just moving more slowly than I'd like.

Glad to hear that there is still hope for more work from you. I got all excited to see this post pop up in my feed.
If I can wait for Jean M Auel and GRRM, I can wait for your work. :D
Yay! Glad you're still around :-).
The other good news I didn't exactly mention is that I do think the story is shaping up well. At least, my slowness is not for lack of enthusiasm for how things are shaping up. I wish I could just take a few months off and write it all. Alas, that's not really reasonable at this point in time.
That has me even MORE excited!
