    Coping of a Former Human Removed (Deleted)

    Today, I have removed the "A Deer Named John" companion piece "Coping of a Former Human" from my published stories list. I've been considering this action for a long time (years) and have finally made the move. The reason being that it doesn't easily fit with what I have planned moving forward with its group of stories. Those stories I still want to write, just they now no longer have the weight

    State of the next chapter

    Have spent part of this week nibbling away at what could be considered the cold opening of the next chapter, which wasn't originally planned for. The fun of adjusting the end of the previous chapter. Reviewed the overall notes as well and am currently dealing with an issue which would have become a plot hole in about eight or ten chapters time so doing best to plug it before that can happen.

    It is finally here!

    It is here. It is FINALLY here! Approximately two years from the date I was originally aiming for and on a date I otherwise wouldn't have but the distraction is very welcome. The new chapter is finally out of my hands!

    As the author's notes say at the end of the chapter:

    Finally!

    The draft for the next chapter, current title (MA2-C3) City Search, is finally complete. It still needs a little tidying up but, so long as major changes don't need to happen, it shouldn't be long until it is posted. If major changes do need to happen, I will post an update. The title may still change if I come up with something better before it is posted.

Writing update - Updated · 10:55pm Dec 16th, 2019

Even with the insanity of the past week and this week's sun having the desire to burn me off the face of the planet, I am doing my best to write the first of the side stories. Struggling with the P.O.V. at the moment while trying to make it interesting. Currently juggling it between John, Cremator and Boo. Trying to get the best choice and each has their own up and downsides. I would use John in a heartbeat but she keeps coming across as too passive in the test pieces, so we will see. Maybe I'm just not getting the scenes right.

Also, I have re-opened A Deer Named John's main file, mostly because I have found a way to run the theme of John through to the end of arc 3, justifying it being all under the one heading. The arcs and side stories will be in together, but I will be designating them in a way I am still nailing down.

Another devastating thing hit my family last night, but I won't go into that until I know more. It may mean I have to travel interstate at short notice and would be the main reason it hits my writing outside of the emotional side.

Doing what I can while slowly melting,

Tael.

Update - I may have figured it out. I think I have the wrong order for the side stories. Will take some testing, but hopefully I have the answer to my problem now. Only annoyance is I wanted to show the break up of the former humans to start off where they are going next. I guess it is my new tiny problem to solve. Little steps I guess.
