Happy New Years.
Here is an update on where I am at the moment. As it currently stands, the spiritual successor for "No Step On Slime" is at about 90k words. Lately, I have mostly been laying down the framework for the plot and the setting, so writing should accelerate going into 2025. I am staying with my doctrine of writing all of it, revising it heavily, then publishing it. Not sure when it will be done, but I'm estimating for the story to be anywhere from 200k to 250k words in length.
Now, I did say that it was going to be a spiritual successor to "No Step On Slime". What I am recognizing as I write it, however, is that this next story is growing a discernible identity of its own. Of course, this is a good thing. The sheer amount of research and plot I've put into it makes me excited to eventually share the piece, once it is finished. It'll be a ways off, but it'll be coming.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a great 2025. I'll see you next time.
