Sorry folks, I didn't abandon you all, just real life taking its toll on me. One of the thing that I do is provide translations for medical procedures and the like since I have the background and the ability to do so (as in I go with would-be patients as their interpreter). I haven't done that in an official capacity for a very long time, but I was asked to do so for some family friends. This was on top of some family dispute at the time, needless to say, I wasn't in the mood to do, well, anything. That's why I wasn't even on IRC for the past two weeks+.
Recently, I learned that one of my relative died as a result of two doctors fucking up. I had to seek legal advice (we can sue for wrongful death, but the case is tricky and can easily cost $40k+, this is on top of the fact that the widow of the family is supporting her family alone, so it isn't something that's to be decided lightly) and had to deal with some agencies in regards to this, this is on top of consultation with the rest of the family. So, yeah, that's why I've been silent. I couldn't really make a post until recently since I was either too busy, too worn out or too angry. At one point I was only at home for less than 2 hours over 3 days and my old smartphone died quite a while ago, so no internet.
All work and no play makes Sumguy a Scaryguy, so I will see about destressing myself before continuing any TL/help out elsewhere. The chapter was mostly finished before I got trainwrecked, so I finally managed to get some time and get it edited with Ishman. If there's any errors, let me know, cause we were both tired when we did it.
Thank you for your patiences and thanks to those that emailed me to check up on me, I didn't reply to them for the above stated reasons.
Take a break man. You have earned it
ReplyDeleteSounds incredible harsh and stressful. Take a break for as long as you need.
ReplyDeleteI said something really epic and heart warming, but forgot to sign in . . . (Imagine the best thing someone has ever said to you).
ReplyDeleteMy comment from my phone this morning seems to have vanished.
ReplyDeleteWeird.
Thanks for the update and all your hard work.
Take all the time you need.
We, or at least I, will wait as long as needed and will understand if you decide to drop EC.
Please don't drop EC though, it's one of my favourite novels and I would love to continue reading it.
Especially if it is your translation that I am reading.
Man, sorry life's been throwing you all these curveballs. Please take your time to get back to a good place. Thanks so much for all the work you've put into this series until now. It's very much appreciated! Be well. :)
ReplyDeletemy condolences
ReplyDeleteand working often with lawyers I can sympathize with you... The cost are light for a company, but unbearable for private individuals...
/best regards and go cut a tree.. I often found that hitting a tree with an axe does much for managing anger.
Best wishes and good luck!
ReplyDeleteTake time, refresh yourself and,
Thank you for the efforts and works you've given for this novel.
