My real life, though I much prefer my ficlife, became quite difficult about ten months ago and hasn't let up since. Two recent hospital stays and a new diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis for me, along with a blindness inducing optical migraine had me down for the count in so many ways, not the least of which was my ability to write. 

That being said, I am not a quitter. My more recent, shorter, postings, are my attempts to reclaim something the disease had taken from me, the storyteller that lives in me.. The disease was trying to rob me of my craft, and I was not having it, which is how this and other works since February were born. I had many people help with that rebirth, not the least of whom, is my own gruff and grisly, Hubs. Love is too small a word for what I feel for him. He typed my stories when I couldn't, he held me when I couldn't get my brain to communicate with the rest of me properly.

At any rate, The Big  Picture was always being worked on, just at my newer, much slower, and much more tedious pace.

Hold on to your horses though, I will begin posting it again when it is completely finished and we are nearly there. When you see the first update, you will know that it is all done, and will update regularly without interruption this time.

Thank you, sincerely, for hanging in there with me. You have no idea what it means to me to still, after all this time, have others care about the  stories I weave and the characters I write. It is an amazing feeling and the third, honest reason I do this.

Thank you,

Saje
