The End is Nigh · 10:29pm Jul 26th, 2014
Dear readers,
I have a ten day respite from work, ten days in which my writing, reading, and playing of Kerbal Space Program will compete for the task I set myself to during this time. But during these ten days, I’ve made it my goal to finish Subjunctive.
As of this moment, I’m writing the story’s climax. After that, I have two or three more chapters to write, then an epilogue. After that, I will be working through my backlog of chapters (I currently have five chapters written and unedited) to get them to you as quickly as possible. That means that there are seven or eight more chapters to go. They span about 1.5k-3k words each, though two are about 5k-6k. All in all, I estimate that the entire story will be 110k-130k words by the time it’s finished.
The next chapter should be here next week. The chapter after that might take longer, seeing how long it is (maybe I can split it into two chapters), and it marks the beginning of the final arc. I’m quite content with how it’s coming out, and I’m very excited to show it to you.
It’s quiet on this front. Just chugging away at this novel and fighting procrastination (to which, I suppose in hindsight, the writing of this blog didn’t conduce). I probably won’t be able to publish the whole thing by the end of this summer, but hopefully publication will be done by the end of the year.
Thanks for bearing with me this whole time. Also, please leave comments! I don’t respond to them in the comment thread, mostly because I don’t want to confirm or deny the validity of a reading experience, but I enjoy reading the comments, the discussions, and gauging reactions. It helps me grow as a writer.
I am following your directions and leaving a comment.
Directive unclear; post is aimless.
But seriously, I enjoy Subjunctive a whole bunch. I love reading it aloud, in my best rumbly-throaty voice. It has a very unique flow to its prose, and I like to think it sounds cool.
You play kerbal space program too. space poneez
