--==( Sibling Magus )==--
There was a delay in getting responses from one of my editors, but he has sent me his corrections and notes on the new chapters (10-13). I should have them ready to post by tomorrow.

--==( Announcements )==--
And speaking of tomorrow. I hate doing it this way, but I don't have any other options. The internet bill is due, so if anyone would like to help out and make a donation, I have paypal. Use my email address ([email protected]).

I've just sent chapters 10 thru 13 to my editors for corrections. Looking over what I've written, I may have to do either complete re-writes or, at least, add-ins so some of it will make sense. Also, I hope everyone forgives the lack of sex in the story thus far. Currently, I'm simply trying to get in as much of the story as I can. Anywhere I think a sex scene might work, I'll add it, but I'm not making any promises. However, with Seth learning more about magic, and other "Official" types demanding his attention, sex is the last thing on his mind currently.

Hope to have these chapters and more posted by the coming weekend.

New chapters have been submitted for Sibling Magus, and more chapters are in the works.

I want to thank those who helped out with the internet bill. It has been paid and gives me another month to get more chapters posted.

I also want to thank everyone who replied in sympathy to the various issues that have plagued me this summer. I'm currently looking into replacing one or two more components on my computer, not because they've failed, but just to make sure I don't have an underlying issue that killed the others and possibly kill more. by the time I'm done, I'll have all but a new computer. :)

I also want to thank the editors who have both been a big help and extremely patient with me. They get regular thank yous in our email exchanges, but I rarely publicly mention how much I appreciate them. Thank you.

It's funny what will influence someone to do what they've already set out to do but lack enough motivation to finish. I lack motivation under normal circumstances. I don't know why. Right now though, I'm highly motivated.

My motivation: the internet bill is due.

So, I've been spending a lot of time writing. I haven't sent anything to my editors. I've only churned out chapter after chapter, in an effort to get as much done as possible because I'd like to post what I have before the internet goes down again.

The only reason I'm mentioning this is because of all the problems I've told you about and the one issue I haven't mentioned. That issue is my health. No, I'm not dying, but my asthma has been acting up a LOT. In fact, I've gone through two inhalers and ten full doses of Albuterol breathing treatments in the last month. For those who have asthma, you'll know just how much that is. Now I'm sitting here, typing this while fighting off another attack, knowing I don't have the money to get more meds. I'm drinking coffee. Something some people proclaim helps, but since I already drink coffee, tea, sodas, and so many other caffeine laced liquids, I seriously doubt it will be of any benefit.

So, now that my rant is out of the way, I'm letting everyone know that I don't know if and/or when I'll be posting anymore. I'll continue writing, but getting online is the issue. (I've reduced my status with the fire department to 'reserve' because of the problems I've had this summer --- severe pink eye in both eyes that blinded me for two weeks and left me unable to focus in the sun for a month after, and now my asthma). It's not that I'm not welcome up there, but going in only to get on the net is just rude.

I hope everyone's summer has been better than mine (I'm sure most have!) and I'll be back sooner or later to finish posting Sibling Magus and my planned second half to that story. Thank you for reading.

Okay, I've recollected all the documents and chapters from my archived emails. I've also copied all of that to Google Drive, that way should I have another failure, all of the files will be there waiting for retrieval.

I've continued writing. Chapter 7 was done and I had sent copies to some of the folks who helped me out with donations. Chapter 8 was where I was having some problems. It was supposed to end the day for Seth, but is now taking things in a different direction than originally planned for this segment. It won't dramatically affect the rest of the story, but the change got my creative juices flowing. It's also going to add one or two more chapters to the story.

All-in-all, I should have those new chapters done in the next day and everything sent to my "army" of editors.
