Weekly Update - 28 August 2023
Added 2023-08-28 02:00:01 +0000 UTCHello, everyone!
I'm mostly happy to report that Chapter Ten now has a solid 45k words to it. 'Mostly' happy if only because I thought I was going to manage a few more than that, but still I'm pleased with the rate of progress overall. Because this chapter happens to be quite a lot smaller than I've been making it out to be in my mind as we approached it, I'm just about done with everything save for the last scene, of which there are of course several versions, but which should be quite fun to write.
I expect that the BIP will include everything up to that part, so my goal for September will be to get Chapter Ten finished! I'm not yet certain if I'll release it when it's done in the usual manner or do so just on Patreon and wait until I have the (short) epilogue also written to do a public release. I'm open to your ideas on that, enough so that I might actually drop a poll about it in here eventually, maybe when I have a better idea of timeframe.
Anyway, I'm starting to do the thing I do where I doubt if the conclusion will really be satisfying, but on the other hand I am somewhat reassured by the fact that there will be a sequel, and that the story isn't really meant to end here, on most paths, and so if it's a little bit unsatisfying, that's probably actually a good thing. :)
I hope you're all doing well, and have a good rest of the month. I'll be back on Thursday with the BIP and the poll. Cheers!
