          	(TLDR: Chapter 7 release will be this month, if it does not release this month, I'm splitting it into two parts so you guys can at least get something.)

There is no reason it should've taken this long, all I can really say is that I'm sorry. Procrastination and college is a nasty combo.

Ok, I didn't really wanna make this announcement since it's literally only bad news, but I feel like I have to remain transparent with ya'll.
          
          Chapter 7 is gonna be delayed for a lil bit longer, specifically because of one conversation.
          
          For some reason, I CANNOT get this conversation to work no matter how many things I change about it. You might be thinking "Man, why don't you just remove it then" but I fuggin CAN'T because it's a convo that future plot points have to build off of and shit. Not only that, but I can't exactly change it either, since it's already kinda been set up and I can't ignore the subject matter of it forever.
          
          I cannot stress just how much this conversation has screwed with me, it's insane.
          
          TLDR: I will announce when the conversation wall has been bypassed, but until then Chapter 7 is gonna be delayed until I get past it.
          
          I am sorry about this, since I told myself and you that I'd release this goddamn chapter during september, and that still remains as my goal, but that's looking less and less likely nowadays. I refuse to release a half baked chapter, so I will tell you when it's been done.

A decent length means like 20,000 btw, so they'll be worth the wait to read

@Drafflux Don't fuggin remind me, lmao. it's been a mix of that and college, honestly. Just haven't been able to work on it as much since I've been in my last year of the course. I just hit half term, which lasts two weeks, so i have a decent amount of time to write it.
            
            What is probably going to happen is that I'm going to split this entire sequence into three chapters, each a decent length and released within close proximity of eachother to make up for the wait.

@Ninjamario246 damn, must be a hard conversation to write to last this long. Just kidding, hope you're alright man.

I have returned from the Silksong bunker. I've basically gotten everything I wanted out of the game, and it is now my favourite game of all time.
          
          Anyway, I will continue writing starting tomorrow, since my College week allows for FOUR days off, so we bout to get productive in this bitch.

Ninjamario246

Ok, so big problem.
          
          So, I assumed I had until the 9th of September before going back to college, that would've left me a good amount of time to write for Kiryu until the 4th, when silksong releases.
          
          I am going back to college tomorrow.
          
          So, uhhh... I have no idea how this is gonna play out, or if I'll have enough time between lessons to properly crank out the chapter before the 4th. I'm debating on bringing my laptop to help me write between lessons, honestly.
          
          The true word count of Chapter 7 so far is around 18.5k words and the minimum word count I have for every chapter is around 20k, so here's hoping it'll be done by the time Silksong releases, but I'm not exactly holding my breath on it anymore. I am considering splitting the chapter into two parts so ya'll can at least get SOMETHING, but that'd probably rub me the wrong way, so we'll see.
          
          Thanks for the patience, you know how it is. Will keep you updated.

We're about to hit 20,000 words on Chapter 7. My goal is to release it in August, but the latest I will end up releasing it is September 3rd, since that's a day before Silksong's release date, and I wanna get it done before then so I don't have to worry about the game getting in the way of my schedule.
          
          I've been waiting nearly seven years for that game, I aint about to let anything get in the way of me playing it.
          
          Anyway, Expect the chapter in the next week or so, preferably sometime within the very last days of August. I'm going to be dedicating all of my damn time to this clusterfuck of a chapter and making sure it's good.
          
          Will keep you all updated as it goes.

I wanna write a Halo story. But I've already got so many ideas bouncing my stupid nae-nae ass brain. Like, I have a Spider-Man story planned, I presumably want to continue A New Face at some point (when I finally figured what the hell I want to do with the damn thing) and on top of all that I'm still writing TWO separate Godzilla books. I fuggin haaaaaate it.
          
          I didn't think it'd be possible to suffer from being too creative, but I'm literally doing that. Shit's rough, man.
          
          Thinking on it, once Kiryu has hit a significant portion on both Chapters, like maybe around the time Chapter 10 of PM has released, I might just have a nice lil' vacation of writing Halo. Been playing through the Master Chief collection with a friend recently and have been seriously enjoying it, so maybe there's something there.
          
          Or it's just another excuse for me to write Sci-Fi stories again. I dunno, lemme alone.

Ninjamario246

Oh yeah, um. Chapter 7 of PM is doing well by the way, 11,000 words as of right now. Should be out during August assuming I don't slack off because we ALLLLL know how this goes.

Significant progress on both Chapter 7 of PM and Chapter 1 of the Rewrite have been made. Each first scene of them are basically finished, totalling at around 5000 words each. With the progress I'm making, we're looking a pretty recent release of both chapters.
          
          I have always managed to write what is my favourite conversation in all of PM, so that's awesome. Really feels good to improve.
          Appreciate ya'll being so supportive and patient with me, with any luck Chapter 7 will be out first, so you'll get to see more Kiryu and Luna before the rewrite's next chapter releases.
          
          Anyway, update over. 'preciate you guys.
          Signed... Ya boy.
