Still, inexplicably, alive

Yes, it's true. By some unbelievable chance, I have still not been struck by a meteor, or vaporised by a runaway nuclear reactor, or devoured by rabid yaks. I can only put this down to an incredible failure on the part of the universe as a whole.

Have to admit that I haven't been doing a lot of writing lately, though.

Chapter 14 stands at 33,600 words, or thereabouts. For the last few weeks I've been stuck in the middle of a scene—the one in which Liam's memories of being Endymion are awoken, if you're interested. I've reached a point with the dratted thing that it's hard to work up much of an interest in writing. About all I've been able to do recently has been to tinker with wording and clarify a few earlier bits.

I've been reading a lot, instead, and watching a fair bit of anime, and even some fansubbed live-action Japanese dramas that I've downloaded. (If you're interested, "Galileo" is pretty good, and the live-action "Hana Kimi" is fun.)

Kind of depressing news, I admit. Certainly depressing for me. I'd like to be writing again. But it seems that I've lost the thread…

Sorry.

Well, glad to hear you're alive and well anyway. And it's better to write when you feel like it thatn to force yourself to do it and end up disliking it, I think--though it makes me sad to think that it'll be just that much longer until I get to see it! Guess it's time to go back a reread the other chapters. ^^
Good luck, anyway! Oh, and since I'm a new poster--though long-time reader--of this blog, I love this story. ^^

Haha, no use stressing it mate. Muses don't work like that, evil wenches they be, and particularly when you're trying to word those lenghty epics.

Kick back and relax some, I mean, you've been typing on this since when? since I was in middleschool lol, and people are still here reading ^_-. We'll live.

Ah, reading always helps in my in case. There's nothing like a good tale to stir your mind ^^.
