Copied from the site

Last night, I reached the ... Hang on, would this be a spoiler? Thinking about it ... no. Because if you're reading my stuff and don't expect this, it must be the first thing you're reading.

So, last night, I hit the last twist of Jungle.  Everything in the story is in the endgame now.

Which is good, because I'm behind schedule by about two months, between the knee and getting sick. So I need to catch up and get this draft finished so that I can pour through and get the next draft of Shadow of an Empire ready for the next phase, so I can stay on track getting that out by the end of this year.

Granted, this means I'll be pushing hard over the next few weeks. I need to pull my bank account out of the red, which means additional shifts at work, but I also need to knuckle down and get Jungle done. It's going to be busy.

I am confident enough, however, that I can do this that I'm going to start putting some ticking clocks on things. I expect in another two weeks, three at the most, Jungle's first draft will be complete.

So, hopefully first week of October. From there, I dive into getting Shadow of an Empire into Alpha 2 (3 if needed), Beta 1, Beta 2 ... you get the picture. October, November ... I may be able to make a December release.

At the same time, I'll be readying myself for Hunter/Hunted, which will be the next big writing project. And ... that's as far as I want to confirm for the moment.

Wish me luck, guys. It's going to be a busy few months.

Excited for all of it! Best of luck heading forward :twilightsmile:

Best of luck writing these delightful doorstoppers of yours!

I've read the story this is attached to, but this post makes no sense.
