Well, well, well. I just got back yesterday and despite being busy the entire time I was gone, I got several chapters of World of the Family written. In order not to inundate you, I'm going to spread them out, maybe a couple of days apart from each other.
I will say that Taiwan, China and Japan are all beautiful in their own ways, and they have VERY distinct cultures. I feel blessed that I had a chance to go. My wife and I are already making tentative plans for the future, but it will be in the far future. For now, back to the grind.

You know, I feel bad that I haven't uploaded anything in a long time. I haven't even been writing all that much. My guess is a combination of writer's block and a vacation I'm forced to go on. I'll be gone for two weeks, but I already have plans to do some writing while I'm out and will hopefully have multiple chapters done when I get back.

Okay, so with the Labor Day holiday, things got really crazy at my work. As such, I've had very little time to do any writing. Unfortunately, there's not going to be a new chapter of World of the Family this week. I'm barely into the chapter and it needs a lot more work. I'm not abandoning the story, not by a long shot, but you'll all have to wait another week before the next update. Sorry for the disappointing news.

Hello, everyone! For anyone who's been reading my works, I want to say that I really appreciate you. If you've been impatiently waiting for the next chapter of World of the Family, I'm sorry that I can't get more chapters out to you faster. I have a very busy life and nowhere near enough time to write, but I try to upload something at least once a week.

I want to stress that I am completely open to any and all criticisms. You're comments and reactions go a long way to letting me know that I'm doing something right, or how I can improve my ability to tell a story. Thank you for any interactions that you've given.

I know it's been a long time since I've made any announcements, and I'm kind of slow releasing chapters this time around. To be honest, I've started to have some doubts about this story, but I'm going to keep working away at the current plot until I feel like the story isn't working the way I want. Mostly, I just feel like there isn't much use of Jen's or Kael's abilities, but we'll see how that develops as the plot continues.

Well, sorry for being away for a while, I was polishing up World of the Hunted a little bit and trying to get the sequel started. I have a rough outline and I've uploaded the first chapter. I think the sequel is going to be longer, I feel like there's a lot more going on in the story. I'm probably going to upload at a slower pace, maybe about a chapter a week or so, but mostly because I want to take my time to make sure I get the story working right.
I've said it before, but I really appreciate anyone who's read my stories and even more those of you who decided to follow me. Feel free to give any kind of critique you guys want. I'm open to it and appreciate input of all kinds.

Okay, I know I've been kind of quiet the last couple of weeks. First if all, many thanks to anyone who's read my stories, I really appreciate you.
I've been trying to plot out my next story as well as figure out how I want to rewrite Wold of the Hunted. What's available right now is just the first draft and I really need to clean it up and improve how the story flows. Be prepared for that story to get some updates soon.
As for World of the Family, I'm still trying to figure out how the story is supposed to flow before I start writing in earnest. I want to make sure it's a good story in its own right before I begin.
