An Explanation...

The recent plot might really have run into some problems... My mind was a mess, and I'd been sitting here for ages without being able to write a single word.

There had been a lot going on in my own life lately, so I'd been writing a little too hastily. Many things were difficult to handle. I'll take a day off and think things through properly.

Also, I have to grit my teeth and finish what I set up so long ago. If this part is really hard to read, you can wait a day or two before checking back...
