This isn't the disclaimer you're looking for (nor is it the chapter update, come to think of it).
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with some regret that I make the obvious official - Breath of Life is now on hiatus, duration unknown.
This is not to say it will never be finished. I know how it ends. I know what has to happen before it ends. I just haven't been able to write it for a while (chapter eight is sitting at around a thousand words or so, and has been for two months), partly due to Second Chances, partly due to a previous apathy for writing (which has thankfully burned itself right out of me), partly due to a excess of ideas (it is really hard to write one story when you have five flitting around in your head at any one moment) and partly because I just don't have the time.
It turns out that studying law requires a lot more work than even I thought it did, so until this semester ends you will not be seeing anything much from me, save perhaps one-shots, although I suspect any free time I have for writing will be ensuring that I do have something to come back to you with.
I apologize for taunting you with what seemed to be a chapter update, so to speak, but I thought it the lesser of two evils - after all, I know I'd prefer a false chapter update telling me not to expect any for a while than a constant wait wondering if there ever will be an update.
I will be available to contact through this site, by virtue of having my emails open almost constantly, so if anyone does want to contact me, I will be here, and I will more than likely respond surprisingly quickly.
Until next time,
Magery
