yyyyyeah, so I realized today that I kinda wrote the entire section of my notes on Dark magic while referring to it as Black magic, and I further realized that I'd meant to call it Black magic in the story and always deferred to Dark magic on instinct. I wrote an entire well-reasoned explanation on why it's specifically called 'Black' magic, as well, so in the face of either changing the details of the unfocused story verses my extremely

I've had this picture in another tab pretty much the entire time I've been writing the next chapter, because it's just the perfect facial reference, and she's so pretty.

Hey guys/gals/other, I've got a quick question for anyone awake enough to answer.

Would you prefer a ~4k word chapter posted literally right now, or a ~7k word chapter posted in... around two to three days? When I posted the last chapter, I had the chapter I'm sitting on now finished at 4k words, but then I decided to expand on it by tacking on the next little bit of the story.

i cropped a stolen picture of bon bon for this and i give NO CREDIT

unless asked for

Mmmmm that submit button is riiiight next to the edit button.

I'm sorry.

it took two months.

it took over 40k words, most of which were cut and recut over and over again

it took a year and a half to get here

it took 100k words of buildup

i've got a massive headache and i'm badly dehydrated

expect it soon

by soon i mean a few days because it needs a ton of editing first sorry

It's come. The time has come.

For another delay!

mmmyeah next chapter's not done, and it's not likely to get done by tomorrow. It's got, like, 3k words so far, and that's unedited.

That's right! I'm rereleasing an HD version of TSN for full price with no other additions!

No, wait, I'm just rebranding chapter 40. Where'd that come from?

Yeah so, if you keep in touch with my blogs, you'll know that I recently asked whether I should retitle the disparate parts of the ever-arduous chapter 40, and as one person replied telling me they thought it was an okay idea, I went ahead and did it!

...That I could go back and redo the first three parts of chapter 40. :T

It's been a general slog althroughout, right? But the first three parts were just so- blegh. I had barely any idea whatsoever about how to take the scene, and rather than try to pen out a clear outline and really think through character motivations, I went instead for heavy-handed descriptors and 'moments.'
