Sorry that I fell off the planet, but my health has still been spotty, with plenty of migraines and other fun and games.

Just thought I'd drop in and let you know that health issues are still problematic. They are fading, but they are still there. And then there is the kidney stone I passed last night. So yeah...

Managed to get that chapter done and posted. Took a lot longer than it should of, but health concerns are a pain in the tuckus and hold up many a project.

YES! My head has stopped hurting as much and ideas are starting to flow and I already have over 1k written for the next chapter. It is moving slowly but surely in the direction of getting completed.

So, yeah... headaches and migraines are continuing. Life is still full but things are not as bad as they have been. My writing is coming back and I am actually getting things written.

Okay, so I just wanted to let you all know what's up.

Despite the fact that another fic is riding me hard ;) and the second Tegan book is in process I have been making some progress on the next chapter of K&K.

So I just had someone point something out to me that makes me want to drive my head into a wall repeatedly.

Okay, so, between the new Tegan book, Written In The Body and vacation, I am a bit behind the curve. Just wanted to let you all know what is going on.

So I finally got the new chapter of Kit and Kin out, and it has taken some work to pull that off.

Just to let you all know, I am still working on the next Kit and Kin. I am tinkering with it but going is slow.

After 5 months to the day (which is pretty cool by the way) Transitioning Home is complete. I hope you guys enjoyed the ride. It was a lot of fun to see everyone's reactions.

In the last seven days I have posted six things. Two Kit and Kin, two Transitioning Home, one 300 Rains and one Chalice and the Wand. Tomorrow there will be another Transitioning Home.

I believe that I did say that things would change once I got my paper done. I got my paper done and turned in. That means nothing is left to really distract me from my writing. Enjoy folks.

I am a total BAMF!!

Just a reminder, that if you comment from tomorrow on I will not be able to reply until Sunday afternoon. And then fyi...

Given that I am going to be busy this weekend, I am going to be posting the next chapter Thursday. Just letting you all know in advance.

H'okay so...

So, I was wondering... Just how many of you have PTSD or are suspected of having PTSD?

Add to that GD or suspected GD if you are still unsure?

I know it isn't Tuesday so why is Transitioning Home on your screen?

Oops...

I have been so busy today that it wasn't until I sat down and started reading that I remembered it was Tuesday. Here's your Story.

Sorry.

Just letting you know that other stories besides Transitioning Home might be spotty this month as I have to focus on my Firefly and Buddhism paper that is going to be published.

Hey... guess what... It's raining again. :D

I just thought I would state the obvious and let you know that I posted the next chapter of 300 Rains. I am already working on the next chapter, as I said earlier, so there will be more of this. As you can see, the thot plickens. Who knows what is going on now? What madness is this? Poor Melanie has to wear another hat. Yay! So, clearly I have not been idle in my down time. There will be more, never fear. The end is drawing near and soon Melanie will be able to find out answers to all of her questions.

The next chapter of 300 Rains is written and I have started on the following chapter. Once I edit it I will be ready to post it. It won't be tonight or tomorrow as I have a party tonight and tomorrow is my birthday. So I have things to do. But when I get to it you have another chapter of that and then I will finish up K&K 7. More happiness on the horizon for you all. Yay!

Well tomorrow or Saturday I am sending off my query letter for the Young Adult novel I have written. All the positive thoughts you all could generate would be appreciated. Granted that my first foray into the publishing world did not go so well, I believe this story has a lot more going for it. The story appeals to a wider audience and this field is open to a lot of interesting storytelling. I think I might fit right in.

Just so you are all aware, I am working on Chapter 7 of K&K as well as I am 797 words into chapter 44 of 300 Rains. So, there will be an update of that story as well in the near future, as things go along. By and large I am feeling alright, with nothing seriously impacting my typing ability. Sure, I can't walk much but that is in favor of the whole writing thing. :)

Once I am done with the writing and editing I will get those stories out to you, as well as the updates on Transitioning Home. It should be fun and plenty of reading for all of you.

The latest chapter of Transitioning Home is intense, especially the end. It is shocking and a slap in the face and hurts. And is the kind of fucked up situation that someone could find themselves in during battle. This story does not deal with only the PTSD aspects of Thomas' life but they are a part of his story. Any vet who has done time in combat can tell you that. Facing intense situations and screwed up situations changes you in profound ways. That is one of the transitions that Thomas has to deal with. He has to get part of his mind out of the desert and back to the states.

First the updates... the writing on K&K 6 has stalled because of pain. I got a page written today before my shoulder and wrist attacked with a fiery vengeance. So... I am not really getting a lot of progress there. But it is moving.

Well, 4 chapters out for Transitioning Home and I think you can all get an idea just how hurt poor Thomas is. It sucks being that screwed up both physically and mentally. You gotta feel for the poor boy. Man am I mean to my characters sometimes and this story just got started. You all got like 32 chapters to go. Heh...

And I finally was out of pain and other stuff long enough to get chapter 5 of Kit and Kin done. I am very happy about this because now the fun stuff can really get started. Poor Takeshi, his whole world shaken and not stirred. :(

So here is chapter 2. Enjoy the read. This is where the plot really emerges and gets a bit crazier. Gotta feel for the poor guy.

As for the update, before the latest round of storms to come through I managed to get more writing done. Once the pain fades I should be able to get back to that and finish that chapter up, so hopefully a new Kit and Kin soon for you all, so long as my pain levels remain at good levels.

Well TTFN and TTYL.
