People frequently ask me what's going on with the HK series, since the HK 1.4 was released in 2007... and then, nothing. In 2007, I had a serious nervous breakdown, not the first one but the toughest one. There are lots of explanations and reasons to such an episode... Too much work for more than 10 years, too much stress and no time for hollidays or even enjoying WE... that without being paid well enough to save any money and always standing on the edge is fairly the the main explanation to my depression. I had all the symptoms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_depression , before I realised I wasn't well. I understood it the day I got physically sick in my stomach just sitting at my work station. (Writing this, just thinking of it is painful >_< ) Anyway, I was not able to work or even enjoy anything. When I had to explain that to my publisher, I also understood I was the only one really believing in my work here... that explained his total lack of support during all these years and the bad pay, of course. I was so blind... alright. Time goes on and always on... so the money problems came and there is the Ouroboros for independant artists... even with a little job here and there to earn a little money, it's a continual no-way-out of disgust. I still have money issues every month but I feel (not everyday) better... ... So the pages of this book were long to achieve (since these were not well paid and that I needed even more time to complete the work than ever, I simply had no money for doing them) and I needed to do other stuff to earn money or just to decompress. And Hell YEAH ! Time flies fucking FAST !!! I finished the book and it was released, eventually... late 2012. ... But I'm not the same anymore: something's broken. So, there we go for the "why is that ?", now it's the past, so wish me luck. =3
