Happy to confirm that chapter 9 of Two Diaries has been finished. That gives me a bit more than two weeks to write 10. 8 will go out on schedule, and so will 9.
These two chapters are very long and rather intense. I'm hoping to dial down the length a little and hopefully get more light-hearted and fun, too, within the demands of the plot. It took me a lot of effort to finish these two, which is why I was worried about being able to keep to the schedule. Mission accomplished though.
Thanks everyone for reading.
