I am starting to take a crack at book 2 and see how it goes. I am aiming to finish book 2 by the end of 2026 which seems very reasonable. There are many things that will be easier about this book, but I have already found that I am missing a huge chunk of things that there is no way to recover the information for. I am still also writing current activities as well, so that is taking a lot of time. I may start posting one chapter of that a month as well. I have over 12 chapters of that ready to post any time now.
          
          I am not sure yet how I will maneuver the missing content problem, so if you have any ideas, please send them my way. The first 10 or so chapters might just not be published for a while as I try to figure out how to handle the missing information. Right now Roda's Gallery chapter is chapter 4 and the musical starts at chapter 10 to give you an idea of how much is missing that I have to work on there. So for now, musical!!!! That is the fun part anyways. Enjoy!
          
          For now, enjoy the chapter I just posted: Opening Weekend Continued ... See how one idol reacted to meeting me for the first time. Even staff and I still laugh about it.

Chapter 30 is now posted! That gets us up to 31!!
          
          Next week I am gonna try to make a dent in the annoying chapter 7 that I have been putting off. I found a good calendar to base things off of so it shouldn't be too too bad.
          
          Then the home stretch! I don't think I will finish by the end of November, like I hoped, but the end of December seems reasonable. Thanks everyone!

Chapter 28: Beautiful Sunday, while a few days later than I planned, is posted!!!!!
          
          Chapters 29+30 will be a little bit. Sorry. There is a lot of work that needs to be done on them. But Chapter 31 will be posted in two days. You might not want to read it if you don't want any spoilers however.
          
          Thanks everyone for your support. I really feel like I am in the home stretch for book 1 now!

Chapter 25: Goodbye, is posted! This one is rough to read. Prepare yourself for sadness and sweetness as well.

Chapter 24: After Effects, is now posted! Check it out and let me know what you think. One character changed quite a bit in this chapter with no clear reason.
          
          I am now in the home stretch, I think, for book 1, which I expect to finish near the end of November. Book 2&3 are outlined and ready to get started after book 1 is done. If all works out well with the current chapter organization, book 3 should be published by the end of 2026. Putting me only 3 years behind >D 
          
          I would love to know what you think of things so far in the comments here or in the story. The exciting things in book 1 are coming soon but be aware the next chapter might be a sad one. It will be longer so I might take a little more than a week to write it. Please understand. Have a good rest of your weekend!

Chapter 23: Halloween 2020 fan sign is posted! I needed a break from the totally empty chapters so I did this one that was mostly done. Hopefully this week I will complete chapter 20 that I was working on. Sorry if I jump around for the next few weeks. I needed some good Narachan memories this week. Enjoy!

It's For Real! Chapter 18: Roda's Birthday has now been published. This next week will be Narachan's Birthday! Book 1's description has also been updated.
          
          I am still hoping to stick to my chapter a week but with realizing that there were 9 video calls that I hadn't transcribed the first time around, I might be slowed down a bit the next few weeks. I am trying to transcribe two a week and still complete one chapter so hopefully I will catch up quickly. I had wanted to finish book 1 on here before the end of 2025 and that is still my goal but with realizing I needed to add around 10 more chapters of content that I had skipped, I am not sure. Please keep rooting for me!
          
          To keep me focused and motivated, I am spending this week, on vacation, and intend to organize more of the outline for books 3 and 4. I am also committing to now writing book 5 as it happens. I am not yet confident on publishing of books 3-5 but we will see how the future goes. FM is looking rocky again so please support M.O.N.T if you can but at this point, I do not recommend supporting FM, if you can figure a way to do that.

It's For Real! Chapter 5 has been published on Ravi, SKZ, and BTS. In a few days I will also be posting a chapter summary post so readers can find sections on groups they are interested if they do not want to read everything.
          
          Next up, I had thought I skipped transcribing only 2-3 video calls. Then when working on the chapter summaries, it looked like 6. But when I looked at my video folder this morning, it appears that maybe 11 video calls I didn't transcribe yet. This is going to be a ton of work so hopefully I can stay focused on my one chapter a week.

It's For Real! Chapter 3 has finally been added. I had skipped this one because it is not about MONT but it has some great direct interactions with other idols so I hope you enjoy it. 
          
          Chapter 5, that was also skipped, will be about VIXX, SKZ, and BTS experiences. The question is, should I split them into different chapters? What do you think?

It's For Real! Chapter 16 is published about the week when Bitsaeon released Moonlight. More drama to come in the next chapter as everything takes one of the two big turns in this book. Check it out!
          
          I also have realized that my lovely chapter headings are only visible on the pc. Should I add them to the text portion of the chapter so it is visible on phones?
