I get messages every week asking if I am still writing AQ, if I will ever finish book five, etc. I appreciate it, honestly. It makes me feel bad, because I'm still having trouble devoting any time to writing and so, as you know, I've stopped giving promises or updates or anything more than "Yes, I do hope to finish it someday."For what it's worth, I opened the manuscript and started writing some more this week, for the first time in a long time. I'm going to try to keep at it.Just one small request, folks. A few of you (like) send me LJ PMs asking me to respond, and when I try to do so, I find that your privacy settings do not allow you to receive PMs. So check your account settings if you actually want me to reply to you!
