Hey all. Chapter 4 should be ready for publishing today; I didn't expect to be finished so quickly, but here we are. Just need to give it one more quick reread.

Additionally, Part 1 will be shorter than I thought, so I've updated the estimation of completion for that accordingly. It'll be six chapters long in total.

For the word count: I've changed the number on the right to more accurately reflect what the expected count for the chapter was.

How about a surprise emergency update? I've switched some things around and ended the chapter even earlier, so it'll be coming way sooner than it would have previously. Everything else has been pushed to Chapter 5, making that one chapter in particular sit at around 2746 words as of writing this. I don't expect Chapter 5 to take an exorbitant amount of time to finish for that reason, but we'll see.

Mostly worked on chapters 5 and 6. Not really what I'm supposed to be doing, I know.

Flickers Chapter 4 Progress: [======----] 61% complete with 2124/5719 words written. Expected completion date around April 5th, 2020.

Flickers Part 1 Progress: [===-------] 24% complete. Expected completion date around early/middle 2021.

Please note that all percentages and dates are rough estimates, and can change at any time.

Fixed up chapters 1-3. Just some janitorial work; nothing major.

To explain the word count below: the number on the right is the draft; the left is the revised version's count.

I've decided to split the chapter in half so that Chapter 4 can be finished earlier. The other half will, of course, be reserved for Chapter 5.

Because I've split the chapter, the drafting phase is now complete. Now, it's time to revise.

I've found that the events that occur late in the chapter don't really make sense when considering much of the plotline of Part 1, so I'm going to have to change things around a bit. The chapter itself will also be longer than I originally expected, so, all in all, this results in needing to push the expected completion date ahead a few weeks.

I really don't like doing that, but if I must, so be it.

While I couldn't manage to coax myself to work on the chapter itself, I have been skipping ahead and working on other parts of the story, such as the overall plotline and the characters' personalities. So, at the very least, I finally have an estimation of completion for Part 1.

I should have a lot of free time this coming week, however, so maybe I can make some actual progress on the chapter for once instead of getting distracted all the freaking time.

I'm having problems working out the later parts of the chapter. Hopefully, I'll find the time to sit down sometime this week and fully focus on resolving such problems.

I think I have the plot mostly figured out. Now I just need to finish what's left and decide whether it's good or not (and correct it/throw it out if it isn't), all before I start smoothening out the rough edges.

A very tentative estimate of completion can finally be given.

That is all.

Flickers Chapter 4 Progress: [=---------] 10% complete with 2827 words written. Expected completion date around March 29th, 2020.

Please note that all percentages and dates are rough estimates, and can change at any time.

You'll notice that I now have a word count for the chapter. I still don't know how long the chapter will be, so I can't give an estimate for completion, but you should at least be able to get an idea now of how much I've written between blog posts (The word count sat at around 670 last week).

Of course, the count can easily go down if, for instance, I need to rewrite a whole portion of a chapter, so do keep that in mind.

Haven't gotten much done this week in terms of writing; was too busy trying to get a prereader. Well, okay, it was also because I'm a lazy ass, but...

Uh...

Anyways, I did thankfully actually manage to get a prereader (Major thanks to misterguest!), so I should be able to start writing again without any distractions. You know, besides myself. I'll be sure to get more done this time around.

Sorry for the late blog post. Issues with my computer's storage have prevented me from logging on to Fimfiction, let alone from being able to work on Flickers. Regardless, there has been no data loss, so, really, it's only been a small annoyance.

Anyways, this next chapter will be of unknown length. This is because I'm still figuring out where I want to take things next. It's also why I have no estimation for completion. All will come in due time.

Good news. Expect the chapter to be published tommorrow. The only thing left to do is look through everything one more time and ensure it reads well.

Until next time.

I went back to the other two chapters, again, and fixed a few errors, including a major one in Chapter 2 that somehow slipped my eyes for far too long.

...I need a prereader.

Getting there.

Not much to say here. Had a bit of a slow week. I'll try to make up for it by getting to at least 75% by next blog post.

Hammered out quite a few words this week. Everything's mostly seeming to come together well enough. Seeing as that I am somehow getting this chapter done much more quicker than I previously expected, I have pulled the expected completion date closer. Who knows? Maybe I'll finish it even earlier.

On a slightly unrelated note, I also went back to the other two chapters and did a little bit of editing. Nothing major, just some refining that doesn't really affect the plot.

Still in the "drafting" phase (below 50%). I need to figure out the overall plotline of this chapter (might be, at most, twice as long as the last one), and then flesh out and refine the writing itself (the other 50%), but I should nevertheless still be able to get it all finished on time.

Started Chapter 3 about one day after publishing Chapter 2. Got quite a bit of writing done, but obviously (as seen below) a long way to go before the chapter's finished. I expect to get close to 15% done by the next blog post update. We'll see.
