Hey everyone,

First of all, thank you for reading my work so far. I've wanted to write a longer book like this for a long time now, and it's been a pleasure to share it with all of you, and to hear your feedback along the way.

With these last few chapters, the first part of the Blue Tower is at its end. I've got some ideas for where I want to head to from here (a lot of ideas!), but I've also become a lot more busy lately (moved from part time to full time along with some additional obligations), and have exhausted my backlog as well, so I don't have anything more piled up at the moment. I'd originally been planning to just wing it for a while and to come up with my chapters on the fly, but that's proven to be a lot more difficult than I'd expected. I don't seem to have a knack just yet for writing on that kind of a deadline. So for the present, I plan to write when I find the time, and to upload more chapters whenever I'm able, without trying to keep to any sort of a more definite schedule (which might also mean building up a longer arc before I continue). Hopefully I won't go too long without posting, but if you haven't already, it'd probably be a good idea to follow the story on the website if you'd like to see where things go from here.

At the same time, I want to try to keep improving as a writer. There were a lot of things that I thought that I could have done better in the book so far, but it was often hard for me to pinpoint exactly what was wrong, which made changing or correcting my errors kind of difficult. So if you have any suggestions for how the book might be improved, I'd be very glad to hear them, and I'll try to do my best to learn from your critiques.

I could say a little more, but I think that's more or less everything for now. Again, thank you for reading thus far, and I hope that you've enjoyed the story! I'll be looking forward to picking this back up again once my schedule begins to clear up a bit, and hopefully, that won't take too long from here
