Some bad news I’m afraid for MN7 readers…

Hey folks,

I’ve always maintained a certain determination to regularity and denoting dates ahead of time, but this time…well there’s problems. It centres on my right wrist.

For some years, I’ve been having a growing level of pain and restriction of movement in it. Doctors repeatedly put it down to an injured tendon (I used to do stunt work and I do avid martial arts) but I’ve been off of high level physical battering for some time now and it’s only getting worse. To the point that I find it difficult to type right now without significant levels of discomfort. This message alone doesn’t feel too nice.

Now, I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s a thin fracture, maybe it’s a worn tendon. In worst cases, Carpal or RSI. (Believe me, I’ve heard ALL the jokes about RSI in my wrist already!) I’m going in tomorrow to see. But I honestly cannot write properly right now. Pain and discomfort makes me distracted, being distracted means I rush scenes. That’s not good and I strive for quality above anything.

The current chapter may be pushed back, more than likely this will mean slower updates (perhaps going to the 3 week rota permenantly) but I assure you all now. MN7 will absolutely not, I repeat, absolutely not, stop.This is the first project I’ve ever felt like I’ve gotten properly off the ground and nothing in this world will stop me finishing the story, especially given it’s all planned out now.

This may be premature to mention before my appointment…but I felt I owed you all a ‘transparent’ look into developments, as I know you’re all waiting for updates. For now, I won’t change the date, but check back tomorrow and we’ll see if I’ve been told to lay off the typing or not by the doctor.

Don’t worry, tumblr’s first stock message says it all. “It doesn’t matter how slow you go, so long as you don’t stop!” You’ll see the end of this story, even if I have to type this out with one hand.

I promise.
