Never feel guilty for how you spend your free time! It's precious and you've got to do what you feel like.

That's very true! But what's going on here is, part of my brain really does want to be working on this fic project; I just get tired and end up doing time-wasting things that feel less satisfying in the end than writing would have. (Well, except for reading some Wimsey, that is.)

please don't feel guilty about updates and inquiries

Hee! Glad I'm not the only one. ;) But my readership is kind of small, so I'd kind of like to keep folks around if I can...
