Guess that'll teach me to not pay attention to pen names…
So I know I probably miss out on a lot of possible readers due to my slow as fuck pace of writing at times, stupid ADHD. But it seems like this it the year that things are really on a roll for this story.
Chapter 3 was published at Halloween, Chapter 4 was published on Sunday, the follow up diary entry published this morning, and I've already finished up the shorter but still pertinent Chapter 5, tentatively tiled "The 'Deal' With Patrick.
I've had an outline of the story done for years, and sometimes only having the outline helps. Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5 have all expanded the story in ways I never originally imagined as I wrote the outline years ago. Waiting till I was ready and inspired has definitely helped.
Chapter 4 though was momentous. Doubled the length of the whole story by itself. Introduced a ton of new characters (Patrick, Kim, Eddie) who will make a comeback in future chapters now, but introduced a few mysteries (the stranger who knew her…). It's definitely amped up my creative juices.
I do hope that when it gets finished, those who wait for stories to end will take an interest.
