Done with Chapter 7, and done with Earth. The last two chapters take place entirely in the other world, and they’re through the eyes of people who have never been there. So I get my exploration in, even as I’m wrapping up the story. I think it worked out. First time for everything, right?

More Chapter 7 today, and I left off on the verge of probably the most important moment in the whole story: the transport. That’s right. Tomorrow, I’ll finally get the crew off Earth and into the other world where they belong. Now, there may be chapters in later episodes that come back to our planet (I did that in Season 2), but we’re fast approaching the point where the action takes place in a world not our own. I can’t wait.

Well, this was an eventful day. More than halfway through Chapter 6, and I had to juggle everything else in the world. The Roku problems from yesterday resurfaced, and somehow they were caused by my brother playing the new Pokemon game?!? Water’s still not drinkable, I’m barely holding on, and my most optimistic character is having a crisis. So this month is going great!

Stopping early again, because I just can’t write when everything around me is breaking down. Even Amy the Eternal Optimist isn’t enough to salvage this day. I know where her chapter’s going, though, so I should be able to make up for this tomorrow. Assuming I have clean water, a working TV, and maybe a little bit of good luck every now and then.

Another short day, but I just don’t feel like writing today. So I finished Chapter 5, and the finish wasn’t even that great. But that’s one character I don’t have to write for a long time, which is good enough for me. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow. Chapter 6 is Amy, and as you know from my previous Otherworld adventures, if Amy can’t cheer me up, nothing will.

Still in Chapter 5, and I’m remembering why Jenn is my least favorite Otherworld character to write. I just don’t have much to say for her, and I don’t have time to throw a curveball. Well, I’ll figure something out. Besides, the big stuff happens after this chapter.

Another day, another chapter. Yesterday, I finished writing my favorite character in this series. Today, I started on my least favorite. Either this will be a struggle, or I’ll speed through it in an attempt to get past her. We’ll see tomorrow, I suppose, but I’m effectively at the halfway point of the story now.
