A little stumble, there

Hey.
Okay, yeah, I had one of my 'things'.
You know, those depression things that sneak up and suddenly swallow me whole for a week or a month or a year.
One of those happened, and a week went by in a dark and hopeless blur.

But I might be through it. I hope so. Trying to get back into writing mode tonight, so that I can push through and finish this.
It's absolutely not her fault, but my pre-reader isn't digging the chapter, mostly because she hates my version of Dawn, and the lack of energy/encouragement from one of my usual sources definitely helped trip me up. One of my Patrons also volunteered to pre-read what I had down so far, but when I sent it to her I only got dead silence back, which, again is disheartening.
So even when it's done and posted, this bit of this story might not get a great response... but that's happened before, and I dusted myself off and kept going.
I think what's amplifying it this time is just the sheer length of the thing; it's a draining project, likely over 30,000 words by the time I'm done, and so that was going to be a tough thing to finish anyway.

I'll definitely try for shorter, quicker, easier bits next time, and I'll probably be changing things up a little, with a chapter or two of Harmony: SuperGoddess before coming back to this for the wrapup to Book One.
I really wanted to get back into my Ship of the Line story before Rogue One came out, but that's not going to happen--after the new year for that.

So anyway, once again, sorry for the delay, guys.
I'll try to get this to you as soon as I can.
