I know it sounds like a silly cliché to say that readers like you make it all possible, but just think: if I wasn't writing the story intending for other people to read it--and knowing that they want to--why would I write it down? I might spin myself the tale, and even write down *bits* of it (because writing is fun), but I would never produce the whole thing. So...thank you for reading and commenting. Knowing that people are waiting for the next bit of the story makes me happy.
