And it’s done. Chapter 9 complete, story complete, and another month of writing is in the books. (Heh.) Tomorrow, I’ll do a quick wrap-up post. For now, here’s the final stats:

Step one: complete. Chapter 9 is still only halfway done, though, so we’re not finished. I hope to get to the end tomorrow, but I gave myself an extra day just in case. Because you never know what might happen.

Nearing the end now. The battle is on, and the final chapter is upon us. Three more days left, and I do feel I can finish the story in that time, even at the relatively slow pace I’ve set for myself this time around.

Getting close to the end now. An hour and a half wrestling with Node cut into my writing time today, but I still managed to make a good day’s worth of progress through Chapter 8. There’s action aplenty now, making up for all those boring days a couple of weeks ago. All that’s left is the finale, really.

Once more into the breach. The battle has begun. I won’t say it’s anything too interesting yet, but give me time. What little bit I have left, anyway.
So, Chapter 8 is the next to last chapter in the story. As usual, I’m using it for the big action events, while the finale will be more wrapping things up. That’s just how I roll. And I’ve got a very good chance of pulling it off now.

Tension is at an all-time high for this story. Now, it’s time for all that buildup to pay off. Chapter 7 is done, and we’ve only got 2 left. The next one is the battle I’ve spent the past week and a half preparing for. Never written a Bronze Age fight scene before, so this’ll be fun.

As day follows night, so too does Black Friday follow Thanksgiving. We’re all as stuffed as the turkeys were yesterday, but that won’t stop me from writing. I’m now most of the way through Chapter 7, and the drama is giving way to action. One more week. I think I can do this. (Oh, and you guys hope I get one of the jobs out of this next batch I applied for today, okay?)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Yes, I did write a bit today, because there’s a whole lot of nothing between waking up (around 10:30) and dinner with your family (as soon as I get done typing this). So I made it a little farther through Chapter 7, and I’m on the precipice of the story’s climax. It’s looking pretty good, and it’ll actually tie up a few loose ends I left hanging in the main Otherworld stories. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Not really feeling it much today. I was busy with code work. Yes, I still do the programming thing. I’ve been getting back into it lately, and now I have…ideas. Hopefully, I’ll be able to show them off soon.
Anyway, I did finish Chapter 6, and I even started Chapter 7. It’s all building up to some major events, and I feel confident I can finish the whole thing by month’s end. The 50K mark should be relatively easy. Getting to the end, though, we’ll see.

Would you believe I actually forgot I was releasing a story today? “The Candle’s Flame” came out, and you can pick it up over at my Patreon for a pledge of only a dollar a month.
As for the current writing project, Seasons Change, it’s still moving forward. Chapter 6 is almost done, though I couldn’t quite finish it today. Drama, tension, and soon to be action. It’s been a rough road, but I think I can put it all together.
