At long last, I have managed another chapter. I am sorry for the long wait. I am trying to narrow the gap between chapters. It was just that a lot of huge life events happened, and now I am getting to the point where I can work more regularly on the book. Here's hoping the next one will come soon, and thank you to all who have been so patient with me over the years.
The next chapter is almost ready. I'm running it by some trusted proofreaders and, once any changes needed are done, I will upload. Hoping it can be ready by the end of this weekend.
New chapter is indeed up. Thank you for sticking with me, those who follow. I know I'm taking a long time with each chapter, but I have good reasons, most quite personal. I'm learning that it's best not to make a meal out of this sort of thing, so in future, I won't keep apologising every time. We know the deal. I cannot promise when, but new chapters will come out. The book will be finished. I will always do my best. Hope you enjoy.
Things are progressing once again. Thank you all for your patience. It means a lot. New stuff in the next couple of months.
Hey everyone. Ran into a computer issue and have had to halt my writing as a result. Will let you know when it restarts.
I'll try not to make too many excuses. Feel pretty crummy about the fact that it took nigh on a year-and-a-half to produce the next chapter.
The truth is that life was extrememly tough the last while, and I have done my level best to get this thing done, but it just kept going wrong and needed so much work to get it right. Even in the last week, I ran it through no less than three people before posting it, because I didn't even trust my own judgment at that point. Every word just seemed wrong and insufficient, and I kept having to go back and re-write things multiple times to even arrive at the scrappy chapter before you. It was supposed to be so many things: Longer. More exciting. More thematically dense. More intricate. Ultimately, though, a writer just has to decide that what's already there must be enough, and let go of the obsession. Nothing would justify this long a wait, but I hope this is enough to draw you back in.
That's it for the apologising. I'm back, and I'm energised. I can promise you one thing for sure: It will not, under any circumstances, take a year-and-a-half to put out the next one.
Hi all. Sorry I've been dark for so long. The job again. I am resuming work this week and will strive to have more out for you to read in the coming weeks.
Promise kept. Quarter to eleven where I am, on Halloween night. Chapter done. Enjoy.
Hello all ye faithful. The next chapter will be ready by Halloween night. Consider it a holiday present. Peace out.
Promise kept. The chapter is up. I sincerely hope that this was worth the wait. Please let me know what you think.
