Hi, readers,
I started this year with the hope I'd be able to keep writing on a schedule and posting every week. I wasn't very sure I would manage, but to my surprise it has been happening so far. Two Diaries has been getting posted on the clock, as well as the odd little thing here and there, like a chapter for The Road to Serfdom in January, and a little short thing called I Owe You One that should be about to come out any time.
Responses for Diaries have been really positive, way beyond what I was hoping: downloads, scores, and very especially story comments and feedback have been great. Posting regularly appears to have got me regular readers, too. People have commented and sent me very nice things about this story. To everyone who has, thanks!
So, the next update on the schedule is on 2019-04-01 (1st of April). Chapter 13 is going to be posted then, but I've been wondering whether to have something else as an April special thing.
Things I've been pondering to have:
1. A possible future involving Fiona letting Aideen play with Amanda during the summer.
2. A weird resolution to the Jimmy and Kira part of the story.
3. Some more about Amanda's childhood with Clara, Stella and Alba, and her grandmother.
4. The story of Fiona and Syl before Amanda joined that school.
5. Kira and Fiona before Kira's father was out of the picture.
6. That night when Kira got to play with Fiona.
7. Something else?
The likely length of the interlude would be about 5k words (not a really long chapter). It also wouldn't necessarily be canon (i.e., I'm not committing to incorporate this interlude into the main plot of Diaries). It would be something for fun, and if I end up liking it, well, I could always keep it in.
So, if anyone has any feelings about whether I should do this, which of these ideas they like best, or something else that they would enjoy as an interlude, and if they could say so by the weekend... we'll see what we can manage.
