Hey there, it's been a while,

Now that there has been some time, I wanted to reach out to all of you. This past January I received some rather crippling news that left me in a pretty serious state. It was crushing. Since then, my writing hasn't been what it used to be. I stubbornly did my best to keep up and continue releasing chapters, all the while getting prepared to work with my publisher on Volume 1 and dealing with the avalanche of bad news that has been 2023. I wanted to do my best for you guys, but looking back, it was not my best. I have lost a lot over the past couple of months and one of the worst things was losing my drive to continue writing TMoM as the harsher and harsher messages came in on various platforms. I've done my best to endure, though. The direction I took with Volume 4 and AoA was, from my perspective, the wrong one. A failed experiment.

As of right now I will be putting TMoM on hiatus until I can get this worked out. It is very likely that it may take some time. This may ultimately culminate in a revision or complete rewrite of post Volume 3 content. That said, when the revised chapters of Volume 1 are completed with the help of my publisher, I do plan on re-releasing them for you all to enjoy as RoyalRoad readers. In the meantime I may be working on other projects to keep myself sharp as I recover from everything that has happened.

I love you guys so much, without you all, I wouldn't have the confidence to keep trying.
