So I didn't update last Friday, and I'm not updating today either. No excuses, just reasons: a stressful few weeks at work, a chapter that's been a little harder to crack, and a general post-holiday funk that's lasted way longer than it should have. In retrospect, taking three weeks off of updating around Christmas was maybe not the best idea, as I've fallen out of the habit of daily writing. So here's my pledge to you: The Boy in the Tunnel will be updated next Friday with a new Joanie chapter, and I will get my ass back into gear and get this train rolling again already. After that I figure there's seven or eight more chapters until the next Interlude, at which point the book will be more or less halfway finished. Which means this whole thing's going to be way longer than originally anticipated, but at least there'll be shortage of things to cut for the next draft.
