I hope all is well. I just wanted to let you know that I still look forward with anticipation to your next update.

Everything is well, just going slow as usual. What I'm working on right now is two long chapters (or maybe three medium-length ones) that pretty much have to be posted at the same time -- fortunately, a lot of it was already written and I'm making some good progress.
It's seemed all along like Ennis and Jack are sitting around a campfire in some corner of my head and I check back with them every few days -- anything new yet? Most of the time, they just shake their heads and say 'aw, not now, come back tomorrow' and sooner or later they deliver. If I try to force it before they do that, chapter don't look right. And sometimes when they do come up with something, it's way ahead of what I'm working on, toward the end of the story. But Ennis' and Jack's final reunion is already written.
