Hiya all!
Sorry for the long radio silence again. It has been a wild month for me. Iβve got a good excuse this time, though! BEHOLD!

I finally had the first surgery, and now my hand is fixed! No more stranger in the sheets! Carpel tunnel is fixed and I can now feel my hand again. Which is awesome. That was about two weeks ago now; the stitches have already come out and the external wounds are even already healed. Internally, though, the process is still ongoing. I have the full range of movement again, though itβs still stiff and tender. But! Progress! Yeah!
As for writing, now that my hand is fixed itβs all systems go! For now. While Iβm still off work and recovering, anyway. The next next chapter is well underway already; in fact, Iβm actually working on it now. The preview above is a scene Iβm thinking will be in ch16. Ch15 is about half drafted already, and Iβm hoping itβll be done sometime next week. Hopefully. If my brain decides to be cooperative. Iβve also been planning up some short stories, too, but I have those ideas on the back-burner until I get this chapter done, at the very least.
Iβve basically just spent the last month lazing around watching movies. Because I could not even hold a controller, and believe me, I tried. Since the surgery Iβve been able to slowly ease myself back into painting again, too, which has been awesome. Have a gander at something Iβm just about done. Now that my hand actually works again Iβm going to be brave and try to put some more detail on the face later today, after my brain overheats from writing.

Anyway, thatβs about all I got. Onwards and upwards, as they say! Itβs been a long month, but things are looking good!
Thanks again for all your patience and continued support, and Nagaspeed, friends!
