Description
I feel I owe you all an apology. I have again fallen behind on commenting on your wonderful art. And I’m so far behind where I had intended to be with the T.N.A. story. I had fully intended to be into Chapter 7 by this time.
Lately my time has mostly been devoted to ducking the continuous bucketloads of s##t real life has been hurling my way and cleaning up the mess left from the ones that don’t miss – which is most of them these days. And yet, I feel like a whining wuss when I say that because so many folks have it so much worse.
Over the last couple months, we’ve had to deal with major expenses with the house, constant storms, and illness. I no sooner got over the flu, then Jo got hit with a bout of pneumonia. Over the last 3 days, she’s been dealing with a severe episode of vertigo. (Immortalized by the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name, "vertigo" is a frequently misused term. Many people mistakenly say "vertigo" when they mean fear of heights or simple dizziness. In medical circles, though, vertigo refers specifically to a false sensation of movement).
We’re both feeling better, but we’re also pretty exhausted from dealing with all this crap. My creativity has been kicked in the butt for the most part, but I’m slowly beginning to feel like getting back to the story. And it WILL continue.. It’s just a bit behind schedule. Hang in there with me my friends. You and Jo are what help me keep my head above water.
I’ll be working on getting caught up on commenting, but it will likely take a couple days or so.
Thank you for “listening.” And thank you for your wonderful friendships. You rock!
Thanks so much for dropping by, and for all your wonderful comments and support!

Really feel bad for you and Jo. So many thing one after the other... Not good and it snaps all the energy dealing with all of that crap... I just hope things get better fast... Like I have said before, we will be patiently waiting for chapter 7 and the last few pages of chapter 6 :). Look at me, my travel and my best friends hospitalization put be back a fair bit. Hard to catch up. I am on page 18. As I am commenting, more and more uploads are happening... This actually feels like a flood too... There is no end to it... so take it easy with the commenting too. Don't feel bad if you are unable to.
Take care of yourself and Jo. Btw. that is a sweet render... Makes me wanna dump everything and go join them :) !

I'm glad you two are feeling better. Maybe the elements and the rest of your problems will ease up for a while. Don't worry about commenting until you feel ready. G4 and Ar should have taken you with them to the beach.

Picking up where I left off...I've said it many times but it never can be said enough: First, you have every right not to comment or create at times like this. Esp re creating: Creating pieces as intricate and involved as your TNA installments is hard enough under the best of circumstances; doing them when you're coming through a hurricane of harsh happenings, illnesses, etc, is nigh impossible. Maybe just some simple photographs would suit you, if you feel compelled to create. But if you don't, it's wholly understandable you create sporadically. (I get headaches just thinking about all you put into those TNA installments: You're practically directing a film.) And I know about vertigo, and yes, it has little to do with those classic spirals in the Hitchcock film: But just the feeling that a room is 'moving' is very disconcerting, and hard to get used to. You wanna stay in bed until it goes away, Maybe you should have the TNA women come to your place and help you this time: They have the strength of an army. I hope you two get stronger, and that the craziness is lifting more with each week. (And after all, it's a lot harder to buck all this at our age than when one was 20. I don't give in to age, but let's face it: Your recent spate of events would be hard at any age, not to mention our 'golden years'.)
On the image: This is a really sweet photo: Is it yours? The light is stunning (on the sand), against those deep green canopied sections and the tranquil blue water. And I like the composition too, the way it opens up on the right, and concludes at the meeting of the sand and trees. If it's a stock photo, good choice; if it's yours, kudos. G4 and Ar are standing as if you called to them and they turned around, and you snapped the shutter at that moment. I really like how relaxedly off-guard they look. As always, your posing, light, shadow and outfits are first rate: They look terrific. (I haven't had that much color since I was 6!) And you placed them in the photo at just the right place. It's a natural, very photogenic shot; and, as with all your 3D-model-in-a-photograph images, they fit in very naturally, down to their shadows. You and Jo would probably love to be in this shot; but hopefully your life will come to resemble its peace and openness as soon as it can. Beautiful image; and I hope your life gets as beautiful soon...
