Hi there. I'm alive and well.

And I think I'm going to finish Return to Forever. It's been a couple years, and I've had a lot going on. Why did I stop? Well, writer's block for one thing, and decreasing interest in PotC, along with growing interests in other things. A lot of it was because I was (and still am) insecure about my writing abilities, and I didn't like anything that I wrote; I'm still not confident enough to write, even if the writing's just for me. But I've been thinking of this fic recently, thanks to some reviews that have come in from a few persistent people, and I have to say I was surprised that there were still people who like it and are waiting for it to be updated. I think I can muster up enough inspiration to get some more out of this fic; I owe it to you people, but I also owe it to myself to finish this thing. I don't finish the things I start as often as I would like to... I'd like to change that with this.

I am so, so sorry for giving up on Return to Forever without a word; it was lazy and unfair of me to do that. Even if I do write more and it never gets read (and I don't blame people for that), I at least want to thank my AWESOME readers who left fantastic reviews for me and encouraged me to write when this thing was in motion.
