KOTD Chapter 66 out soon · 7:40am Jun 27th, 2020
Chapter is finished, just gotta find time to edit it.
I'm gonna fucking vomit. This is the second to last chapter and I've never finished a book before. I'm the kind of guy who starts a billion projects and never finishes them because the ideas keep coming and the project goes from a sand castle to a planet in size. I had the same problem with KOTD and had to ask myself "With this ending, is the book ever going to actually end?" I had to chop a devastating 30k words and 7 chapters. I read through it and honestly knew it would never stop unless I bit the bullet and ending it where it needed to end. It hurt so damn bad but I know I have a tendency to keep going when I need to stop,
I'm terrified the ending just...won't be good enough or that I'll fuck something up. Maybe it won't satisfy the readers maybe there's a continuity error, I don't know. I'll be honest, I've been working on it on and off for the last few months. Biting my nails over every detail and word used. I don't want to stay goodbye to my character and this entire world I've built. Adding to it, developing who they are as people, just...all of it going away and finally coming to an end.
I don't know what I'll do with myself once it's over. For four long years my routine is to find time to work on KOTD. It's going to be so weird not posting chapters but also freeing.
