Because of a sudden stint afield that included ten consecutive very long days, I could not stay ahead of the publication of chapters. I've just uploaded Chapter 191 and it should see publication soon. Hopefully, in all the comp time I've racked up, I'll get back ahead as I was before that long but enjoyable time in the field.

It's hell gettin' old.

I forgot to take ALL the girls' Saturday plans into account when I wrote Chapter 185, so had to make a minor change to the end of the chapter. It will have little or no effect on readers but I thought I should let you know.

A co-worker out on a project was in a car crash, so I was shanghaied to go fill in for her in the field. While being in the field is great, the very long days here at the height of summer make for little to no time to keep up with my writing of Beth. Chapter 181 will be delayed for some time beyond what should have been tonight's publication.

This morning in my reading of the published chapter to see if there were bits that needed to be cleaned up that got through my editing process, I noticed a fair bit missing from the chapter (from the end). It took me a while, but I finally found those missing words. I had added them to Chapter 179 rather than 180. What a moron. I've moved them to Chapter 180 and uploaded the altered chapter to the publication queue.

Despite being in the hectic end of my spring work season, I've managed to carve out writing time and am now two chapters ahead. Chapter 175 will post tonight and chapter 176 will post on the 1st. I should have sufficient free time after the first few days of June to get well ahead. We'll see, though.
