Sorry for the delay on Firefly · 2:06pm May 20th, 2020
As it happens, there are multiple pieces of good news and bad news on it.
- Bad news #1 is that the new Firefly chapter got so big--a whopping 22k+ words--that I've had no choice but to break it in two.
- Good news #1 is that means you'll be getting two big and juicy chapters in quick succession, with the first setting the scene for the epic clash in the second.
- Bad news #2 is that when I presented my completed draft of part 1 to prereader AJ_Aficionado, he pointed out a very major issue with it, perhaps even showstopping for what I wanted to do. I thought about it, and realized he was absolutely correct--that it had to be fixed, and that in turn required a total rewrite of a critical section with additional edits coming after.
- Good news #2 is that I rewrote it last night with his help, and I believe it works now. I just need to polish the chapter and make some musical selections as well as hopefully get one more preread in, and then it'll be ready to launch. Once it does, the second chapter will quickly follow within about four days.
I'll call that Good News #1.5 for readers.
