Chapter 28 Status Update
2 years ago
General
Figured since it's been quiet over here for a while, I'd just drop an update. Chapter 28 is nearly finished, just a few short bits left to write; I'm going to try and have it 100% ready by Tuesday.
Something that slowed this chapter down is that I've been sick literally all month long. On the 5th I got infected with my second bout of strep throat for the year (the first time was in late March), and even after a full course of antibiotics, I can't shake the cough and it's doing horrible things to my voice and energy levels in general. I am on steroids now to try and push the last bit out of me so I can go back to work full time, but all this week I'm off work so I can have time to actually recuperate, and I intend to spend it writing.
I also decided to cobble together a rough estimate of how long this story's going to be at the end. With the rough outline I have going, accounting for stuff I may realize I need to add, chapters running long and needing to be split (sometimes these characters start talking to each other and don't want to stop), or chapters being condensed because they're too short, I would say by the end Hotel Paradise will be somewhere around 70 chapters in total.
And then there's the decision of whether or not I want to follow through with a follow-up story that I've been kind of lightly planning on for about a year now, and already have a full cast AND name picked out for -- "Paradise Penitentiary". Aside from the cast, this one's still in very early planning stages, and I don't even know if I'll feel up to writing it by the time I finish Hotel. I guess the final chapter will be when I decide if there's a sequel, based on several factors, the most important being how long it actually takes me to finish this damn story!
One final note, I've been commissioning some alternate NSFW reference images of the Hotel Paradise cast from Silent_E, which I'm planning to post in between chapters to help fill the gaps a bit. Since Chapter 28 is so close to completion, I'm going to definitely make sure that gets posted first, and then maybe post the first of the new refs the following week.
Hope you enjoy them!
