Nevermind. Sorry for the loss of data.

Update for June 29, 2018:

Just to let everyone know that there is an approximately 0% chance that Agent of Change chapter 6 will be posted on the 1st of July.  I will release it as soon as I can, but life has been throwing us some curve balls of late.  Finances are stressing me out, given how shitty they are, and to add to that, one of our ferrets has developed a hematoma on her leg which we are watching carefully.  (Yes, we took her to the vet.  They all went in on Tuesday for their annual checkup.  Figured since we had to take one, and it was close to time for it, might as well take all three, and save the extra dr. visit fee...)

I've also been fighting depression lately, which makes writing - and most other tasks - difficult to accomplish.  What little writing impetus I have had, I've been putting towards the planning of WAY8, which is well underway.  I'd call it more than half done, but there is still a lot of work to do, hence the conversation going on in the WAY7 thread.

My health has also been shitty... literally.  My IBS has been particularly nasty the last few months.

Point of all this is, I'm having trouble writing, and that means that AoC6 is nowhere near finished.  Sorry.

PS:  Just writing this message depressed me even further. 

No problems, Eric. Be well and post when you are ready.

Except that you said before you weren't going to make a donation, thus reducing the chances of my other problems dissipating...

Just sayin'...

Eric Storm

I figured you did have a reason.  Your reason is nobody's business but yours.  But that won't stop me from yankin' yer chain about it.  hehehe

Update for July 11, 2018:

Not a writing update, more a "why I'm not writing" update, unfortunately.

Those of you who have been following this thread will know that we took our ferrets in week before last for their annual checkup, and because our little girl, Cocoa, had a lump growing on her back leg.

At first, the vet thought it was a hematoma (a blood blister) that had created a blood clot which was simply too big to dissolve quickly on its own.  He gave her antibiotics and told us to bathe her in warm water to help blood flow to the area, so the clot would dissolve.

Well, over the weekend, we realized that the lump was actually growing again.  It is large enough now that it is dragging on the ground as she walks (there is a scab on it because of this.)  The vet now believes that it is a tumor, and she will need surgery to have that removed.

The vet's schedule was already overbooked for this week's surgery day, so she is going in next Thursday to have the tumor removed.  Hopefully it will be benign (most ferret tumors are, according to the vet...), and there won't be any complications.  Still, between worrying over the outcome, and worrying over the cost, it's making doing anything creative extremely difficult right now.

The planning stage for WAY8 is pretty well complete.  I could begin writing at any point now... if I could actually write...

I hope Cocoa does good with the vet visit and that the tumor does turn out to be non-malignant.

My family member is a dog, a goofy dumb ass hilarious little guy.  He is about 16-17 years old ( human years).
Eyes are shot - ears are deaf as politician - kidneys going and hips gone and god has he gotten boned, he shits all over the place.

But he is family, not a pet. He is family.
Half of the family says he needs to pass on, that we are dragging him thru pain that increases daily, and since we don’t have a magic wand or spell to be able to speak canine. We go back n forth about what to do.

I hope your family member does well Mr. Eric Storm.
If you recall my past memos, you’ll understand where I come from, the fabry disease hs now taken my kidneys and has started on my heart.  I am in pain 24-7 & the health support I relied on was cut out from under many of us.
I hope people speak my language for the future - when I can’t take this life anymore.

Lots of luck and to you and yours.
Dying from anticipation waiting for next instalment meant. Oh Woodward.
I hope it’s before july 24 2018.

I realized that I’ve been following your written word from before I met my ex wife and still reading you since we split.( I just mentioned it cause I recalled her asking I not read online books - and I snuck your stories like a cigarette).

Eric, Get well Soon and Write When You Can, I hope all Your little Family Get Well Soon, I will Donate Again When Funds Become Available

Do you see Year 8 on the site someplace?  Perhaps right there on my stories list right after Year 7?

No?

Then it's safe to assume I haven't posted any part of Year 8 yet.

How the hell does this site make my comments into a compost of words
