I was delighted to discover after a few chapters that I had something of a fan base for my story, and churned out several more chapters in a matter of months. Then, around the middle of 2004 and twelve chapters in, I began to slow down, posting a chapter ever few months. The first big dry spell began in late 2005 and went on for over two years. The more time went by, the more guilty I felt about leaving my readers hanging with an unfinished story. For some reason, though, I just couldn't find my way forward. Finally, in late 2008, having just learned that I would soon be laid off for the third time in my life, I got over myself and wrote a chapter. The second dry spell followed, but then in June of 2009, I had a burst of creativity and began to show something like my old prolificacy. As of this writing, I am adding an update to the story every month or two.
