I got well ahead in writing in Nov and Dec, such that I had as many as six chapters queued up at the same time. That helped a lot when I got little writing done over the holiday season. I've had little writing time in January, so I will almost certainly fall off what had been an every-four-days posting of the next chapter. I may get chapter 151 posted in January, but might not get any others up until February.

Every reader has favorite genres, topics, etc. I have a very narrow scope of story topics of which I'll even open the first chapter. Even most of the ones I open have what I would consider problems for me to continue reading them. I understand being disappointed by a story because it didn't go where a reader wanted it to go or presented scenes or info the reader doesn't care for. That happens to me all the time.

If a reader doesn't like something after a paragraph or a chapter, that person should move on. Surely the reader doesn't have so much free time that the reader has nothing better to do than flaming a writer that doesn't write the sort of stuff the reader wants to read. If someone does, I might be willing to trade. I could use a lot more free time (having just ended an 11.75-hour work day).

I've gotten a lot of writing done of late and have the next three chapters uploaded. Chapter 138 will post tonight; the others will follow at intervals of four days. I hope to get a lot more writing done before the time of various celebrations of various religions' holy days of the season, as I find it easy to imagine that my writing time will decline in abundance for at least some of that period.

Should I not find another chance, I wish all the best of the season.

I was obviously in la-la land when I posted Chapter 9, as I had meant to include more from 20 Jan '18. I've added that and posted it to the queue.

Fortunately, work of late hasn't been particularly hectic, so I'm getting writing time. Unfortunately, this chapter is proving to be even longer -- and a bit more complex -- than I'd expected, as a bunch of critical bits occur in it. Thus, it's taking more time to write it and ensure that I get everything right. I could see it being another four days finishing it but will hope for two. We'll see.
