A vacation, not a hiatus

I always hate it when people say they're going on hiatus. That usually means that they're stopping playing, and then they leave the community, and I miss them. (And often the stories don't get finished.) So I'm not going on hiatus.

However, I've taken up aikido, and it's both time-consuming and exhausting. (Also lots of fun.) I've started back on Weight Watchers, the DM of my gaming group has stopped working weekends (which means we can all play again), and I've even been asked on a date. Plus there are things like laundry and grocery shopping and cleaning and so on. I used to have a buffer for when Real Life started happening -- a chapter or two in reserve, so I could post regularly -- but I've burned through all my buffer, and I haven't finished my rebuild yet. And I feel a little stressed out because I'm not posting chapters regularly... and this is supposed to be fun.

So I'm not planning to post any chapters at all in October.

Which doesn't mean that I'll be gone! I'll be participating in Myshuno! and commenting on everyone else's shorts/chapters/posts. I'll be posting Sims you can adopt if you want. I'll be updating my WCIF. I might even post a house tour or two as I rebuild and redecorate, if people are interested. And I'll be playing and writing with no deadlines and no pressure, to have fun and to build up my buffer again. (I'll take suggestions for special features, if you have any ideas.)

And there will be more chapters beginning in November. I apologize for the inconvenience.
