The Wolves of Westseaxna-a tale of Wessex

[tpmcinty]

Looking forward to the next installments and for the change in perspective with a different character.

One of the things I have learned in the short time I have been dabbling in writing AAR's is that while it is interesting to read it also has to be interesting to write.

Very true.

Ok all, so it's obviously been a few weeks since my last instalment, so let me tell you where I am: I have the idea for a final 3 chapters and then that will be it. I promise to make them as good as any in this story. Part of the reason for stepping back (and some will have noted my lack of responding to your own excellent stories of late) is that I have recently started a part time professional doctorate in Counselling Psychology and I am obviously having to do a lot of reading and other work as well as keeping up with my main job. That has meant curtailing some other stuff and I am afraid that will include for the foreseeable future my inclusion in these fora. I am hoping I can sneak some time here and there to finalise things and indeed to snatch some time reading other stories but I cant promise it. What I will say is that the Wolves will be finished and I am hoping by Christmas if not before.

Thanks, as always, for your amazing readership and support-it has been invaluable-you guys really have been the best

Love and support for your studies.

 

[tpmcinty]

Good luck with the studies. Having witnessed my wife going through getting a Masters in Education part time, I know that part time is only a name.

 

[Bullfilter]

A noble calling and best wishes for it. Hope it allows you a little down time but imagine it will be a consuming effort. Part time post-grad study combined with a busy job plus trying to maintain a minimum of human interaction, I found, is one of the busiest times you will ever have!

Thank you for letting us know what was going on and for undertaking to finish the story. I hope you eventually get time to pop in again after it’s done and things settle a bit and the idea of recreational reading (even writing) doesn’t seem like an inexcusable indulgence. All the very best.

 

[JabberJock14]

Best of luck in your newest endeavor and I'm certain it will go well for you, though I know the work will not be easy. Obviously your decision to finish things out in your story is understandable and I have no doubt you'll give the family the send off they deserve.

Hopefully you'll be able to sneak a few reads here and there, even if you don't have the time to comment!

 

[Specialist290]

Excellent news! Glad to hear you're expanding your knowledge and your opportunities, particularly in such a noble and much-needed calling. I will of course be eagerly awaiting this tale's conclusion, but take your time; the real world comes first.

 

[El Pip]

I don't really have a lot to add to those comments, but I'll say something anyway. As I doubt steel and concrete play much of a role in Counselling Psychology I can't give you any wise words of advice, just some good wishes, a part-time post-grad course while having a full time job sounds quite the challenge so you will probably need all the support you can get.

Obviously I'll be delighted if you do manage to finish Wolves before Christmas, but as others have said we'll completely understand if that fails to happen. You'll have to spend a lot longer than that to finish this story if you want my Slower-than-real time title.

Best of luck in your latest pursuits, sir, and thankful are we to see the rest of this story! I would also say...one thing I have learned over the years at this forum is that times change...circumstances too. The one thing that you can count on is that there will always be a pair of eyes, even if just one, that will wish to read this tale or any other. I've had AARs of mine take a three month break, a six month break...even over a year plus. Yet the readers did return and even got new ones. Live your life and get the best out of it. Hopefully, this place is always a pit stop in your travels as you are valued in every way. I have found that to be the case over sixteen years and my life has changed dramatically in that time. It is a good thing to have that constant and I have seen AARland provide that very thing even with all if its own changes.

Looking forward to the next update.

 

[Nikolai]

Best of luck, indeed!

I'm back!

I hope you all are well and sorry for leaving this story unfinished. The good news is that I have no lectures in the summer trimester so intend to take a little time off and I fully intend to wrap this story up. Hopefully I might also be able to dip back into some of the tales that I was so avidly following before university and studentship interrupted.

Excellent! Lovely to have you back.

 

[El Pip]

This was such a short break I barely noticed your were gone. ( )

Excellent to have you back though and looking forward to the conclusion of this wonderful tale.

 

[JabberJock14]

Welcome back! Looking forward to seeing how you bring this tale to a close!
