Well, I was exchanging PMs with Kohila today regarding the progress of my Epic and he thought it would be a good idea for me to relay the message I sent to him onto the rest of my fanbase via my blog, thus here I am.

To make a long story short, if you recall, several weeks ago my computer crashed.

Well, sadly and unfortunately I had become quite lax in backing up my files, and thus the only chapter from my Epic that had yet to be posted to survive annihilation was Chapter 20, and that was only saved because I had coincidentally printed that particular chapter out a few days prior to the crash.

Anyway, as I stated before I'm a bit old-fashioned when it comes to my writing and thus I do have handwritten copies of the outlines that I'd used to construct many of the dozens of chapters that I lost.

Therefore, just as soon as I get past my maddening, saddening procrastination, then I should be able to hammer out the remainder of Part I so that I can get back on a regular posting schedule.

As it stands I'm more than halfway done with reconstructing Chapter 15, so I hope to be ready to post at least that, along with some updated Inhabitants pictures, in about a week or so.

Well, that's all for now and thanks for your patience.
