Talk:Desolation Ed/@comment-224939-20130710082747

An update, for any of those who are still here/care/holding their breath for an unreasonably long amount of time in fleeting anticipation of a new chapter.

I finally managed to scrape up the funds to get my old computer fixed. I still need to find someone who cane fix it though. Hopefully I will get this done within a week.

It's been two years since I uploaded the last chapter. My prolonged and unexpected hiatus from completing Desolation Ed, as well as the thought of disappointing the readers, who have waited patiently year after year, has been one of the most demoralizing events of my life. For that, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for instilling a false sense of hope among the readers time and time again with foolish optimistic statements about potential completion dates, and I'm sorry for the unreasonably long amount of time (which, unfortunately, will have to continue longer) since the last chapter release.

I remember back when I first started writing Desolation Ed I planned to complete it by the time I graduated from high school. That time has now come and gone, with an ending nowhere near in sight. Funny how a simple malfunctioning computer lead to the downfall of my writing "career" hobby. I guess as the old poem goes; "[Even] The best laid schemes of mice and men / Often go awry."

My apologies for the hiatus. Assuming anyone is still left.
