An explanation for Chapter 25 · 2:03am Sep 7th, 2016
Let me be honest with everyone. I put this in a blog post in order to keep it separate from the chapter. But I honestly think what I wrote here. Crap. Absolute crap.
Oh I have several explanations for why this is crap. I had a nice final chapter all written out. It was…well I would like to think it was much better then this. Maybe not. But then my computer died. Twice. The first time I lost my entire chapter. Al of it. So I had to rewrite it and I was doing well with the rewrite.
Then my elderly grandma had to move out of her house. We spent most of the summer helping her move all of her stuff out of her house. She had a lot of stuff and we only had June to do it in. So I spent the summer moving furniture around, and I was so tired I couldn’t think, much less write.
And then my mom had an allergic reaction. She couldn’t breath, and almost choked to death right in front of my eyes. See, Hydia’s death was supposed to be a lot more emotional and meaningful. But after watching my own mother nearly die right in front of me, I just couldn’t’ write it out like I wanted to originally without openly weeping. In the end I had to do it from Tirek’s unemotional perspective in order to get anything out there.
My mom is all right now, but I still watch her every time she coughs in case it happens again.
It doesn’t help that, a short time later, my grandmother was sent to hospital as well.
I know that a better writer then I would have kept holding off until the chapter was good again, but you guys have waited…a year? I think for this to come out. I figure it was best to just give you guys what I have now. It’s at least a complete chapter, if not as good as I thought it would be. Maybe later when all of my issues are behind me I will be able to redo it as something good. But for right now, this is what I have.
Thank everyone for your patience and understanding. Hopefully the epilogue will be much sooner.
It was good enough, as far as I'm concerned.
It was decently written. Don't care for what you did as a consequence, but that's my problem.
