I've been posting very regularly. Every week something has come out, sometimes several things. Particularly, Two Diaries, which is the longest thing I've ever written, and is 134k words long so far without the interlude.
I should be posting chapter 17 tomorrow evening. I have a little more than 24 hours to finish it.
I'm not convinced I will.
So far, I have 2000 words written. There are at least 6k more left. And I am finding it unusually difficult to get them down.
I haven't lost enthusiasm for the story, sense of direction, or anything like that. I am simply... tired.
So, with apologies to anyone who was hoping for that, I'm afraid I may well not be able to make this week's deadline. I'm going to try, but it is going to be very difficult.
I don't want to post a chapter that is half-written. If I can't make it this time... sorry. I will try to do better. Fiona looks at me with a disappointed face, but Amanda understands.
Sometimes, all you can do is all you can do.
Big thanks to all the readers who've been enjoying Diaries, and most especially to those who've commented or contacted me about it. I'll try not to leave you without a chapter for long.
