Thank you for the update, but I'm sorry people are proving difficult to communicate with. (This is a belated response as I'm on vacation, but wonderful news, no matter how brief.) I hope that the writing process goes well for you and you enjoy working on your story once again. If not, I think I understand how difficult and intense trying to work on a tough project can be.
Also, while I created my LJ account for updates now I check in every week (normally) for book reviews. I've found some great books following your reviews. Keep 'em up!
