Tales from the Wishing Well - Hiatus

Tales from the Wishing Well is on hiatus, effective immediately.

Installments will resume on January 1st, 2009, and will continue monthly until June 2009 when it will resume a weekly schedule.

I apologize to all my friends, supporters, and sponsors for the delay in installments, but this will guarantee both the quality of the pieces as well as my soundness of mind.

For those who would like a complete explanation of why this is necessary, step beneath the cut:

Beginning graduate school has constituted a bigger adjustment than I quite anticipated. I'm well out of the academic groove, so I am having to find my way back into a productive rhythm of doing research, reading, and assignments on time and with enough time to do all my others. I'm also learning new skills, which means assignments using those skills take longer (at least for now).

My recent move has taken up a lot more of my time than I quite anticipated as well: putting a new household together is not an easy or quick task and I find much of the time I would spend reading and writing (outside of my homework) is taken up with unpacking boxes, finding places to store things, and solving domestic issues.

I am also planning my wedding! My fiancé and personal historian, Andy Dupy, and I are getting married on December 21st, 2008. While my mom is helping extensively with the planning, there are a number of things that we must do ourselves.

And, finally, I have previous writing obligations that must take precedence over my personal project. I have a number of outstanding reviews that I owe, as well as approaching deadlines for a variety of short stories.

Hence the hiatus.

Tales from the Wishing Well.

It certainly sounds exciting! Your situation could very well be mine in a few years' time. Congratulations echoed from this corner as well. :)

Yes! Tomorrow, in fact. I'm very, very excited; I have a lot of things to do to prepare, and all will be done with a smile and a song. :)

Oh, nice! I live in Georgia now-- in Kennesaw, actually, close to where I think you're visiting. Have a safe journey!

Thank you! Everything is exciting these days... and tiresome, hence why I've come down with something today. ::coughs::

I'm hoping we can see more of you online! I miss reading your posts.
