November blues, and the 991 reasons not to have them · 5:02pm Nov 23rd, 2014
I'm alive, and I'm relatively hale and hearty. I've also been incredibly busy... writing the last chapter(s) of out and about.
Imagine my surprise when, as I finished up chapter 10, I found fimfic of the opinion that it was over 12k words long. Imagine my surprise, also, when I discovered that I'm nearly at a kilopone of followers? I'm humbled and honoured, and wondering if a) I'll actually hit or even break 1000, and whether I'll manage to get there before or after I post the cleaned up final chapters.
All I've got left is the epilogue. It's so close I can taste it. And after that, I'm going to be writing the final chapters of king of diamonds. At 50k words until it's finished, though, that one's going to be taking a while.
It's been a weird year for me, over all. Just about a year and a month ago, I was let go from my old work. It still stings that I gave 13 years of my life to a company I respected, only to be buttfucked by a bunch of indians in a false-flag operation seemingly designed to fire as many people as possible, as quickly and as cheaply as possible.
I'm most of my way towards my new occupation - maybe, at least - so I do have a destination in mind... I'm just not sure if I want to get there or not.
Thanks for sticking with me, I know this is taking longer than you might expect or hope, but I am getting there.
Also, if anybody wants to help edit the last three chapters of out and about, send me a pm, I'll give you the link.
Middy out.
*Hugs* Glad things are improving and I'll be hopefully getting things lined up enough I can start doing that editing you gave me.
Dude, you don't have fic delays anywhere near the order of mine. And I hope you get along well in your new profession!
As to the season... ugh, wake me on the spring equinox
. I don't do winters.
Delays happen, life changes and occasionally you get the chance to slap it back.
Good to see you are getting warmed up for your rebuttal
Really looking forward to both stories continuing. Take all the time you need, though.
I hope I won't have to reread both stories to remember what happened to understand that last chapter. Though I think it wouldn't be that bad. I'll have to reread it at some point anyway, so I can remember well this great story.

This. Very much this.
oh dang :O good luck getting to 1k! :D
You know I'm happy to read over your stuff!
And I miss you and the long conversations we'd have about writing and general geekery. I don't have any plans Thursday and Friday, due to the holiday here, and possibly Saturday and Sunday as well, if you're wanting to talk and catch up...
Here's to hitting 1 K!
