Hi, uh, this is probably a really stupid question, but what does Hiatus up to mid-november mean? And, just in general, what does Hiatus mean.

We work in the dark, we do what we can, we give what we have, out doubt is our passion and our passion is our task, the rest is the madness of art. Henry james

"On Hold" due to disruptions.

Reasons may include;

lack of creativity (writer's block)
Family problems
Personal problems - Illness etc

It could be anything that is causing disruption to the work, thus the progress of the work is placed on hold.

Ah, thank you. He he he, I thought it would be something like that, but I wasn't entirely sure.
