So.

I've been really dragging my feet because this is an announcement that I haven't wanted to make ... but I'm going to have to put Sun-Cutter on hiatus for a while.

I'm taking a full-time credit load this semester. More importantly (to me!), there is a local publisher who is definitely interested in publishing Freebird next year, but needs 20-30 pages of new material to bulk out the book enough to make it worth their while, which I've tentatively promised by the end of the year.

I had already fallen far enough behind on Sun-Cutter, due to work and travel, that I'd run through my buffer of pages done in advance, and was working week to week anyhow. I didn't have a safety zone, and this is the week that it caught up to me. I'm not going to have a new page on Monday. I was hoping to get through this scene, at least, before I had to stop, but I think this is where it's going to rest for now.

I love working on Kismet. Of all my different projects, it's my favorite. I'm really happy with what I've done so far on Sun-Cutter, and no way am I abandoning it for longer than I have to. My tentative plan is to work up a buffer of pages after I get Freebird squared away, and start updating hopefully early-ish next year. (And if I can get a buffer, I'd like to update twice weekly for a while -- I never was really happy with only doing one page a week.)

In the meantime, thank you for bearing with me! I'll be posting snippets and teasers ("sneezers"?) of the new Freebird pages as I work on them. And yeah, there WILL be a Hunter's Moon book eventually! I mean it this time! (The big thing slowing me down on HM, honestly, is that I can't figure out whether to get it printed as one big expensive book or two small, more affordable but not self-contained books. I got into weighing the pros and cons of this, and kinda stalled out in a sea of indecision.)
