Hiatus

So, here's the thing... 

In Moonlight is the most technically and narratively complex story I've attempted to date. Writing the recent chapters has been like creating multiple pictures, cutting them into pieces, and reassembling them as a single image. Getting the screenshots I want is harder than that.

On good days, I love this story so much it hurts. On bad days, it just hurts. 

As I get closer to the conclusion - and we're actually rushing toward that now - it's getting even harder. Between my health issues and the complexity of the story, I've gone from having as many as six chapters already written and writing one or two new ones in a week, to now having one chapter pre-written and writing one chapter in about two weeks.

Long story short (too late), I need to catch my breath. I feel this is, narratively, a good place to pause. 

So, I will be taking a break of indeterminant length so I can work on the conclusion of In Moonlight. I need to give myself a little grace and make sure I'm having fun rather than stressing about getting a chapter done for the coming week. We all know that the story will be better for it.

Have no fear, I will finish this story and there will be more to come.
