I'd like to offer my condolences concerning your friend. I am sorry for your loss. Take all of the time that you need to write. If you need two weeks, then take two weeks. With all of the extra work that you have now you don't need to push yourself.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I actually got most of the next chapter written on Sunday, but just couldn't get in the mood to write today. We'll see how things progress.
Cheers
Hikaru
