25 mph on a straight road in a 98 Yukon in four-wheel-drive mode, and we got into a spin and slid off the road into a 4-foot ditch.

WELP.

So most of the 2.5 hours spent out of the house was actually the time the 3 tow trucks spent trying to get our Yukon out of the ditch, which had the road blocked off for over an hour.

That's what I did today.

I know I already linked my public YouTube playlist, but this just came up in my Subscriptions, and I'm literally feeling happier the longer I listen to it. I love music like this.

I put an Author's Note on this one. I had a sudden burst of inspiration while writing this to really tie this all together, and I made some small edits to previous chapters that I'll be iterating on and making a blog post about to clarify them. Sorry for the wait!

I know this is completely frivolous, and yes, I'm still working on Forward, and actually making progress.

I'm three paragraphs in, and 4 days away from the 29th, which will mark 2 months since my last post, a repeat of last time that I said I would try to avoid at all costs.
IT BEGINS.

I've finally started work on the fourth chapter. Got a title and everything. The contest submission is still taking up a good portion of my focus, as the deadline is fast approaching, but I'm going to try my damnedest to have chapter four uploaded before the end of this month. I think I'll have my stride set at that point, and updates should come more regularly.

Well, an interesting little something came up, in the form of a fiction competition that I intend to enter. This is probably going to end up delaying Forward, but I'll try my best to get back to the aforementioned as quickly as I can.

Made a few small changes to Forward, mainly to correct some dumb mistakes and oversights, and I'll probably be making more changes to some shaky details in the near future. I've also actually started work on another project, but I'm going to try and keep that one on the back burner while I focus on this. Again, no promises on when Chapter 4 is finally going to be done, but I don't intend to take 2 months to finish it this time, so there is that I guess.

Who'da thunk it?

I'm actually halfway done with Chapter 3, and it will be up before I go to bed tonight. The block is finally gone!
Now we just have to hope it doesn't take me this long to do Chapter 4.
