    Update

    Hello to all still reading.
    Sorry about the super long delay. Life got complicated, and I had written all the easy parts and was struggling to write what I had left.

    Almost Ready

    Sorry I'm terrible at keeping everyone updated. Every time I think about doing it, I'm like, "Or I could write some more so they actually get a post and not an I'm still working on it message." So I'm down to the last section (1 or 2 chapters depending on how wordy I get), and then I should be ready to start posting again. So here's where I am now...

    Update- I'm still alive, I promise

    So I know that there's been some concern about the story, but let me reassure you that I am still hard at work and have been making progress. In fact, the next chapter is written, but I am reluctant to publish it until I have the following ones done as I'm afraid they might necessitate some changes and I don't want to do major changes to published chapters.

    Happy New Year/State of the Story

    Happy new year everyone. It's been a while, sorry about that. Holidays were hectic with two stir-crazy kids and me as, apparently, their only source of entertainment. I haven't had a lot of time to write, but I am making progress. I'm not sure yet when the next chapter will be out as what progress I've made has not been sequential. I'll try to keep you posted, but to prove that I'm not lying

    State of the Story/Holiday Break

    For those who don't have time/desire to read this post, the long and short of it is Severed Ties will be going on holiday break at least until the end of the year. I've been struggling with what else to say, so if you'd like a wordy ramble explanation, please continue below.

Update- I'm still alive, I promise · 11:16pm Feb 5th, 2021

So I know that there's been some concern about the story, but let me reassure you that I am still hard at work and have been making progress. In fact, the next chapter is written, but I am reluctant to publish it until I have the following ones done as I'm afraid they might necessitate some changes and I don't want to do major changes to published chapters.

That being said here's where I stand. I published this before but you can see where I've made progress.

Prologue 1-4: Done/Published
Chapters 1-22: Done/Published
Chapter 23: Not started (0)- Some handwritten pages for the 2nd scene Done (3009)
Chapter 24: Not started (0)
Chapter 25: Not started (0)
Chapter 26: Almost done (1893) Done (1893)
Chapter 27: Done (1990)
Chapter 28: Done (3186)
Chapter 29: Almost done (2427) Done (2427)
Chapter 30: In progress (1335) Done (2553)
Chapter 31: Almost Done (1816)
Chapter 32: Not started (0) Done but needs some Heavy Editing (1903)
Chapter 33: Not started (0)
Chapter 34: Not started (0)
Chapter 35: Done (1990)
Chapter 36: Done (2341)
Epilogue 1: Not started (0) Done (1423)
Epilogue 2: In progress (1230) Done (2344)
Epilogue 3: Done (3368)

So yeah, making progress, just not what I can show you quite yet. On the bright side, I am now focused on 24/25 and once they are done I should have 8 weeks of chapter updates for you. If I'm lucky I can polish and finish the rest and keep publishing but we'll see. I hope to start publishing again soon and I'm sorry for not updating you on progress, but every time I thought about it I figured it I was going to type about the story I should just write some more of it.
Anyway, thank you so much for your continued interest in Severed Ties and I hope that soon I will be able to let you know when you can expect regular updates again.

I was just thinking about this story. Thank you for the update and no worries. No need to rush. Better wait for well thought story than, well anything else.

Great to hear there's been some progress! As eager as I am to read the next chapter, I'd much rather wait until you're ready. Until then, keep up the great work!

Thanks for the update! Take your time. I’m loving your story so far and I’m sure I’ll love the rest just as much. Take care!:heart:

Huh. I can't imagine ever writing a story out of order like that. It would drive me insane. But ty for the update.

Thx for the update and if I'm correct the whole story will have a total of chapters close to 40?

Just over including prologues and epilogues. Nothing is definite as some things aren't written. If chapters start getting big they get split which I think might happen with 24/25. I know there's a lot of ground to cover between 23 and 26 which are written but I won't know how they break up until i write them.
