The relationship between a writer and his audience is not unlike any other. Communication from both sides is important to keep things healthy. Here’s what’s up.
The 16,000 word story I posted from January through Feb, Mettle, is going to have to tie readers over for a while. As of the end of Feb I’ve been working day and night (when I’m not on set) editing my novel. This first pass edit is by far the single most important thing I can do for my writing career and it takes priority over every waking hour that I’m not at work.
Crafting stories worthy of you visiting this site to read, especially of the scale I’m now writing them (novella length), takes an extraordinary commitment of focus, time and creativity. I’m only human so I’m marshaling all the resources that I have into my novel’s manuscript.
There are a group of first readers that I need to hand the text over to, and after that, I’ll revise again according to their feedback.
Once I do hand the text over to the first readers I will start posting short stories again. Until then, my focus needs to be absolute. This could be a couple weeks from now. Could be a month or more. Impossible to say.
My concern isn’t time, it’s handing over the best possible manuscript to the person whom has agreed to sell it for me. I can not fuck around.
Please be patient with the process, it’s all to create the absolute best possible book I am capable of creating.

Don’t worry TK. Focus on what you need to do for yourself. There’s plenty else out there to keep people entertained. Still, thanks for the heads up.
You are a talented writer and I wish you well.
