Rehab and wedding plans

My next round of rehab would start on the first week of November and it take longer than the previous sessions. After that, I would be away to plan for my upcoming wedding. It's going to be so busy, so I might not be able to log-in for a while to answer your inquiries and questions regarding F&L.

I wanted to avoid another lengthy hiatus. Because of this, I have decided to upload ALL six pending chapters of F&L before this month ends.

My request, however, is to hold any unofficial distribution of a .doc version after all chapters are posted. I wanted to make final revisions to BOTH book 1 and book 2 before I release the final pdf. Please do not copy-paste Book 2 and share them via file-sharing networks without my permission.

Thank you and God bless everyone,
Hiro

Chapter 59 will be posted soon

I'm doing one last round of checks before uploading Chapter 59. It would be a short "transition chapter". Nevertheless, it would be quite interesting. Chapter 59 will be available within 24 hours.

Thank you for everyone's patience and your overwhelming support.

Next rehab session... -#-sigh-#-

My fifth rehab session is up this week and although I've been having a lot of progress as far as my arm's motor skills are concerned, I've been experiencing some recurrence of the numbness. I'm praying that things would work out well pretty soon.

Boys and girls, please take care of your radial nerves.

I've received your inquiries and will be replying to them very soon. For those who can't download Book 1 of F&L, you can go instead to our thread in Soompi or the Fictionpress site. Half of the chapters in the Fictionpress version, however, has not been proof-checked as much as the Soompi version so if you couldn't stand massive grammar and spelling errors I have left uncorrected, I suggest you guys visit our Soompi thread.

Regarding the next chapter, it's actually done. It's some sort of 'transition chapter', but a lot will happen nevertheless. It's quite cool and I can't wait to share it with you guys. I just have to find time to do the [TAG]s and some final spell checks. I'm just not so sure when I could post it. It depends on my arm if it can stand work or not, hehe.

New readers, welcome to F&L and Vena Cava!

Regarding the PM list, you can either ask to be added to the list or better yet FOLLOW us in Soompi by subscribing to either Meia or me. We found out that the subscription feature had been added in the new Soompi so yeah, that would be cool if we use new technology.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

No Facebook and Twitter

Again, I'd like to say that I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account. So whoever that "Hiro" is that adds you up in Facebook or Twitter isn't me. Come on guys, I'm not a Hollywood actor. Although I have movie offers coming left and right, I'm not someone worthy of being impersonated.
(Hehe... kidding).

Due to insistent public demand, yes I will be updating F&L very soon. Actually it's done but I'm doing some major revisions to the sequence of the scenes.

The next chapter's going to be very sinful. -#-evil grin-#-

Philippine storm

I saw the deluge and massive flood in Manila, Philippines in CNN earlier. I had no idea it was that serious! I'm blessed that my relatives in Makati aren't seriously affected except for the leaking ceiling and ankle-deep flood on adjacent streets.

My Filipina crush Cristine Reyes was affected by the flood too! I wanna fly there to Marikina to personally rescue her, but Richard got in my way so... yeah. Hehe.

Kidding aside, please help by sending your donations via
Philippine National Red Cross - http://www.redcross.org.ph/Site/PNRC/wtd.aspx

RP: PHILIPPINES IN A STATE OF CALAMITY...To all my willing and abled friends and family who live in US & CANADA who wish to help in the rescue and relief operations, you may donate through the American Red Cross. Call 1-800-435-7669. Please pray for everyone affected.

Fourth wave of rehab almost done

I'm glad that I'd be finishing my fourth wave of rehab sessions this week. I could type again (although I prefer using one hand because my right gets strained easily) and I could move my wrist again with careful movements. In fact, I'm trying to type this blog entry with both hands and I'm quite proud of the fact that I could sustain holding my arms forward for more than 10 seconds without straining.

I'm excited to post the few remaining chapters of F&L and Chapter 3 of Vena Cava soon. Thank you everyone for your patience and your kind get-well-soon messages. Thank you for the reviews and constructive crits you've left via Fictionpress and Soompi. I checked Soompi a while ago and wow, some new stuff going on there. I like the new layout and features, although it still kinda confuses me, hehe.

I miss writing badly, both for the newsletter editorials and my personal fictional works. I have the feeling that I'd go into binge-writing when I get back. So many ideas in my head dying to go out in the open to cause an explosion. I like being a writing arsonist.

Hope the hand would permit. Bad nerve. Really bad nerve.
