Happy Holidays! [Black and White] Update
7 years ago
Hoi, chummers! Hope the holiday season is treating you well!
It's been a year since the last update of my novel, and I know a lot of people are waiting impatiently for the next upload. And frag me senseless with a ten-foot troll, does that include me, haha! I'm still working on it pretty much every day here, getting closer and closer to something that's ready to upload.
My hope was that I'd get it up before the new year, but arrrrghhhh there's just so many moving parts that have conspired against me and my progress. I do most of my writing at night, but I'm also a college professor that teaches night classes. And, well, sometimes I have to teach day classes too - the end result is that I'm on the job for a long stretch of the day and end up exhausted when I return. Not much writing happens during those times, but I do try to sit down and do something.
The good news in all of this is that, well, when I finally DO get this uploaded, you'll get a lot more than something. The current draft for "chapter 12" is probably around 100k words at my best guess, which means it'll be split into two parts. As much as I don't want to really do that awkward thing I did with Chapters 7-8 again, uploading a 250+ page .pdf is proooobably not the best alternative!
My best prediction of when it'll be ready is sometime in January 2018, so hopefully not much longer to wait. I'm on the final scenes of my document, which I'll then proofread and fix up (that part goes MUCH faster, at least) and then pass them along to my buddy to check 'em over. Once that's done, chapters 12 and 13 will be all yours. And then I get to immediately move on to chapter 14, which I'm just gonna hint at as "the BIG chapter" - not in terms of length, necessarily, but in where the story ends up going. I hope folks enjoy it, and I hope you even take the time to go back and look over all the previous uploads to find all the connections and hooks I've been dropping here and there. :D
So hang in there, omae! I'm grindin' away at this and polishing it to a sheen. I'll see ya on the flip side in 2018. Happy new year, trogs!
