Kotowing and Apologizing

I am very, very, very sorry for being gone for so long.

My vacation kind of extended a little, okay, maybe a lot.

I have no excuse.

It's just that the longer I was away from the book, the more of a monster it became. It just kept growing and growing in my mind, and I didn't want to do battle with it. So I avoided it.

Finally, I'm starting up again, taking one baby step at a time.

Again, there is no excuse for my unprofessional behavior, and I'm deeply sorry for that.

But now I'm back. And I hope you're still with me.

Sincerely,
Trung

P.S. - Technically, I'm not completely back yet. Before I start writing the next chapters, I'm going to do a little editing on the chapters I've already written, mostly Mi Ling's half of the story. More details to come.
