Contrary to the utter lack of posting on my behalf, I have not disappeared off the face of the planet. At the beginning of July, I was asked to participate in something for a convention. I spent all of my free time during the first three weeks trying desperately to make what was required of me. Thus the lack of a finished chapter 11.

I have not been completely lacking, however. Now that the convention is over nad there isn't another in sight for a long time, my free time has returned. I've been working on an archive for Embers and Ashes that isn't quite finished yet. It will be soon, over the next week or so. Once it is, I will be posting chapter 11 to it.

Just a quick update to let everyone know that I'm working on Chapter 11 right now. There was some unforeseen family stuff yesterday that kept me away from the computer for most of the night, so I only managed to get one page written. I'll be working on the chapter for the rest of the night, and if I don't get it finished, tonight, it will be sometime this week. I've got Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to work on it. I anticipate having it posted on Friday at the latest. Though more realistically, I see finishing it tomorrow night, letting it sit, and then posting it Wednesday after a chance to edit it.

I just wanted to assure everyone that it will be this week.

Barring another unforeseen power-outage like I had last night, Chapter 11 of Written in the Sand will be out on Sunday.

My interest in the story, and the fandom in general, has been revived. I may start writing other stories. Or at least, other short stories for E&A. I started writing a Christmas one last year that wasn't finished in time for Christmas that I'll be posting this year.

In preparation of the end of WitS and the work on subsequent installments of E&A, I am going to be moving the entire story onto this journal. Upon completion of this project, which may take a few days/weeks as time permits, I will be deleting the stories stored on fanfiction.net and my crappy Angelfire website. This journal will serve as my website, at least until such a time as I learn HTML, get Frontpage again, or pay someone to make a website for me.

For easy access, all parts of E&A, separated by story and chapter, will be listed here.

Also, I will be backdating this entries, so friendslists don't get cluttered.

Any questions, drop me a comment.

Chapter 10 of WitS has been posted to ff.net and my Yahoo group.

Because I'm lazy and don't like scrolling back through previous entries, I've compiled a list of all the stories I've posted on this journal. It's sorted by fandom and linked to the appropriate entry. I'll be updating this list as I post new stories, and to make it easy to find, there is a link to this entry on my journal's sidebar.
