I was on a roll until June 9th. My dad (stepdad, but he was my dad for 32 years, gave me away at my wedding, my kids call him grandpa..... so my dad) died on June 12th. His funeral was on the 19th. I am the executor of a disaster of an estate, so in addition to grieving (which I haven't done yet), I am spending every spare moment dealing with that. And it's a doozy. A 1600 square foot house, RV garage, regular garage, a large shed, and a medium shed crammed full of antiques and THINGS, as well as a huge unfinished construction project on the driveway/wall, and a "tenant" in a second house with no rental agreement who is a bit reluctant to leave. And all the general maintenance, bill paying, etc of a household other than mine. Did I mention the hundreds upon hundreds of toy trains that also need cataloging?
When I got down to the house again after my dad passed, my brother jokingly asked if I'd be working on Lora Fletcher. I wish! I have a hard time writing when I'm very emotional (other than killing people off who represent people who've angered me in real life), and the time factor.... Rest assured, Lora #2 will get done. It'll just be even more delayed, for which I deeply apologize for. Remember though, I'm still faster than GRRM, and I don't think the sequel we be as disappointing as the final GoT season. I think Rarity will be pretty darn good when it's done.
Again, thanks for your patience.
