I finally got my apology from one of the Admins (who wanted to point out that they're not Mods, as I kept incorrectly using that term) for all the brouhaha that came up last week. I'm not one to hold a grudge; I try to give everyone a second chance. They offered an olive branch, apologized, and I accepted.

Some readers thought I was dropping my work for good (even though I tried to point out several times that I was just taking a break from the story here to cool down somewhat and not let my emotions taint my work). I can assure you guys, I was not. Am not. Did not.

I simply took a break to give things time to calm and settle, so I didn't do something I'd regret later with my story. That's it. At the worst, I was simply going to move over to a new site to host my works, and continue writing there. I've put too much work into my little saga to stop anytime soon with it. As I've said from the beginning, it's got a loooooong way to go until conclusion.

One thing that has changed will probably be how often I release updates for The 8th Day now. While trying to keep my mind away from the issues which had arisen and surrounded this little tale, I actually feel in love and got wrapped up in Winter's Tale. What was at first nothing more than a distraction, has now taken a good portion of my interest. I'm having a lot of fun writing in it and creating both a separate virtual world and a real world, at the same time. (It's also told in 3rd person narrative, which honestly I prefer as a personal writing style. The 8th Day is set in 1st person so we only see the world through a single character's eyes. It's a deliberate tool to limit what the reader is exposed to. Winter's Tale is 3rd person, and much friendly for multiple viewpoints and such. )

Honestly, I'm simply having a lot of fun at the moment, working on the other tales of mine as well. :D

No longer will The 8th Day be getting multiple daily releases. It's not something I'm dropping; but it will be staggered between releases in the other story as well now. I'm back at work on the story once more, and updates will be coming soon. They just won't be the sole focus of my attention any longer.

The 8th Day is back in production. It just shares a rotation of updates with The Fallen Ascending and Winter's Tale now, instead of holding primary focus of my attention. ;)
