I had hoped that a month off would enable me to come back refreshed and ready to go, but sadly that just hasn't happened. I've been attempting to write the next chapter since god only knows when but my muse has left the building.

I still have a story to tell, but it's being damned awkward about allowing me to write it. I now understand how difficult the life of a professional writer must be. If i had to rely on my writing for my income I'd feel even more pressure than I do now and doubtless I'd have even more trouble.

Consequently I've paused billing for another month in the hopes that things will return to normal before then.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Take your time quality is worth waiting for

Tim Derr

Agreed, take your time, and we will patiently wait. No rush

Graham Pearce

Couldn't agree more with John concerning taking your time. Its an amazing story and very in-depth to track. Can't wait to read 95 and 96 to see where you were heading when you took a break. Thank you for such a fantastic story, currently on my third re-reading :)

I haven’t written anything significant from scratch in decades – too many years editing and mentoring the work of others – wouldn’t recommend the coffee and cigarettes to keep going through all-nighters I used to resort to! Hang in there, maybe reread some of your great past chapters for inspiration?

David Long

Sorry you are having difficulty writing. Could not imagine doing what you do. So please take your time and let it flow. We love your quality and will make ourselves wait for the next chapters. Love re-reading to see what we might have missed.

Please take your time, the block will go away for sure. This crap happens. I am truly amazed at what you have accomplished and at the overall quality of your work.

I agree with all. Your writing and story is worth waiting for. Your muse and joy of writing is still with you.

I personally don't mind keeping you keeping your billing open, since I have already paid, and I get to go back and read some of your other works.

Do take your time. We'll still be here loyally waiting for your muse to start breathing life back into your story. My wife is a beginning author and she has the same periods where her muse goes on vacation without a forwarding address. Be patient. It'll come back.

I have read up to chapter 93 on patron it shows chapters 94-96 but when I click on them it says they are locked and asks me to subscribe even though I have. Looking forward to you getting over the block and reading those chapters as well.

What does paused billing mean? I joined right before the pause and cancelled before the next month so I didn’t get charged, then joined at a higher level this week to gain access to the life after + chapters and because I thought PM would start up again. Do I actually get a month after the unpause or is my nova month used up in the pause?

PM: I can see how the main Caleb storyline may cause problems, but what about chasing that with the life after storyline? I honestly thought that Melanie was behind the whole Kabal.

I think a muse cannot be forced like a teen aged boy would do. I think she needs to be quietly and patiently wooed. And since she is within, the quiet and patience must also be there. Simple in thought and action you connect with the source of all being. Patient in thought and word you align with the way things are. Compassionate with yourself you show heal the world entire.

Answering questions shouldn’t require a muse, and I’ve asked 5 through various means and have had 1 answered halfway from another member, not including your non-answer above. For example, has PM said he’s ending the Life After series somewhere else?

Thart's your opinion. But not mine, Everything in this story, to me, is Caleb and him navigating life as the "most" powerful poweruser.

I was talking about the Life After Jules alternative Caleb series and I was obviously wrong, since the culprit was revealed before I wrote this message. Spoiler alert: Melanie is not behind it (at least not yet, maybe…)

David

I did get billed this month but didn't last month

how far into Caleb's life do you picture going? All the way to being a full fledged

FBI agent and all the way to some kids?

Sure hope so...
