Um. Important update. · 4:27am Mar 29th, 2014
I really should wait about a week to post something, as I'm self-conscious about going back and forth on my followers and readers. But the issue is firmly at the front of my mind and staying there, so I might as well.
The way I was going, we may have had a new chapter every week or two. I'm so ready to get the ball rolling here, soooo ready, especially since I'm feeling so good about it all and motivated, unlike any other time since initial publishing. However, if things were to go this way, the story would really be a shadow of what it could become. I'm so eager to get the setup behind me/us, have the relationships (and relationship) established, and have fun seeing what the character do, but...
As Everhopeful advises me (basically), it's best that, for one, I find myself another editor I mesh well with and can work closely with on more than just a couple days a week. This leads into another point, which is that the story needs more planning. So much time had already been spent doing so, but now that the story is out of the gate, it needs more planning to fill in the highly numerous blanks throughout the story I have in mind. Everhopeful will always be helpful and integral to this, but with my passion, time, and eagerness to work on this stuff right now, I need to be able to keep things going while at the same time being kept in check.
So, truthfully, I don't know when the next chapter will be out right now. I'm not sure chapter 1 will require way too much editing, but going forward, the story is definitely in need.
But, however long this takes and future chapters take, I'm working on it. It just may not come out as fast as I would like.
