A Fermata

And that's all for now. The latest chapters— "Invalid Item"  (public) / "By Mystery Possessed"  (interactive)—round off the last storyline, and will likely be the last chapters I publish until March. But keep alert for anything from rugal or other contributors.

I say I'm "likely" to not publish anything until then, because there is a chance that I'll pop in long enough to add something extra. Probably not a chapter in a continuing storyline, but an independent short story that can be dropped in somewhere. I've got a couple of those floating around that wouldn't look out of place as an extra fiddly-bit on the main BoM interactive.

The better news is that I am actually at work on a new storyline. I'm saving my main efforts for non-BoM stuff (I've written two short stories already, including this entry for WdC's Weird Tales contest: "The Forever Wife" ), but I've found that there's a little pocket of 20 to 60 minutes during the day when I have just enough time to dash off part of a BoM chapter but not enough time to ruminate on something more challenging, and I've been using that little pocket to keep my BoM hand in things. So there's a really good chance that I'll have something ready to run when March 1 comes along.

Anyway, I want to emphasize that I'm not going anywhere, and I plan to pop up in this blog once a week or so just to say Hi and I'm still here and to otherwise wave a handkerchief at people.
