The story's back. No excuses and no crying.
All I can say is I am so sorry for the delay to everyone who waited and probably gave up on me after this hiatus.
My girlfriend finally found my secret, and when she read it she goaded me into facing the guilt I've felt over ignoring this work for so long.
I love this story with all of my heart. I said no excuses and I mean it. The only explanation I can give is that it honestly got to a point where I couldn't bring myself to work on the story anymore because I simply felt like I'd let too many people down to even try to renew my writing efforts.
You've heard it all before. College, life, job, deaths. But none of those things truly prevented me from writing. It was just laziness that turned into fear. Fear that I both let down my readers beyond forgiveness…and fear that maybe I didn't have the skill any longer to do this story justice.
But after hearing my Emily's praise, and putting forward a monumental effort of work over the past several weeks, I'm back with updates every two weeks until further notice.
This is just the signal. Next week the adventure begins again.
So reread the last couple chapters if you're rusty, and get ready. Because I'm rolling up my sleeves and working tirelessly to give you the best Pokémon story you'll ever read.
Texas Longhorn's back, y'all!
