For the foreseeable future

Post by Stravo »

I received some devastating news today concerning the health of my daughter's mother. I have no idea what will be happening in the coming days but I will need time to assimalate the news and its impact on my life and my daughter's.

As such my time on this board may be very sporadic at best for the coming weeks until things get sorted out in my personal life. I may be on ALOT to help deal with the pain and sort of compartmentalize it, or I may not be on for days. I jut don't know at this point.

I apologize to the fans that alway like to see updates on my work, as I think it may be on hiatus for awhile (Or then again I may bury myself in trivial things and work so who knows) I guess the point is that if I am on errtacialy or not at all for awhile, please understand the reason why. And always know that I appreciate the time that everyone takes out of their lives to read some of my work and it warms my heart that I can entertain you fine people with some good old stroytelling.

I debated for the entire night whether to make this announcement or not, but I consider myself part of a community here and as such I feel better telling you guys that something is going on in my life and I will take some time to sort it out.

The truth of the matter is I don't know how I am going to react in the short term but better to lay out the possibilites here.

Thanks for listening.

Your devoted Teller of Tales.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots.
