Hi all,

I'm sure you have all noticed that releases have been extremely, extremely inconsistent for the past month or so. Just to be candid with you all, this has been a mix of a lot of reasons: coronavirus = working from home, which blurs the lines between work and home, addiction to a certain series of video games (Yakuza, I'm looking at you), and most importantly, med school apps are opening tomorrow. I've spent a lot of time writing essays, researching schools, gathering letters of recommendation, etc., and I just think I need a little bit of time to take care of those things. To get an idea for just how complicated this application is, just know that AMCAS has an official 84-page guide for your application, and that doesn't even include the bucketloads of secondaries I will probably need to write.

On another note, regarding the status of the novel: many of you know that there is only one final book, with about 100 or so chapters left to go before its conclusion. I have been translating this novel on and off for about four years now, and while the release rate has never been something I have been proud of / good at sticking to, I am hoping to be able to finish by June. Thank you all again for your support - I don't deserve as much patience as you all have given me.

Chapters will resume on the weekend.
