Just wanted to keep people in the loop. As most are aware, the last few chapters that came out were previously written, so I just had to edit them and add/remove a page or so worth of details. That's partly why they were released at a decent pace. (For me, anyway.) The next chapter is about 75% written @ 4k words, but it's proving more troublesome getting back into the writing process. I also had some work issues with coworkers so my work downtime has been lacking, and that's when I generally write as my productivity often goes to crap when I'm home.

I debated just keeping details vague and more non-committal while writing, but really feel like since this is a climax of sorts that I'd rather take the extra time to do it properly. I've done a bit of reading to refamiliarize myself, but I'm still missing some finer details on characters and events. I'm also trying to finalize a decision on which of the plot 'threads' I've had hanging to use or not at this time. The next two chapters especially I don't want to half-ass as following events will hinge heavily upon them, so I'm going to take extra time to go back and confirm details and outline them, that way issues don't arise later.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

tl;dr Not dead, just trying to work out kinks and make the next chapters of good quality.

See y'all sooner or later.
