I gotta ask for your forgiveness. I could give you the old adage "Make plans and see what happens..." or something to that effect.
I have the next chapter almost ready but it will a few more days to fix. Apparently, the latest version I had was not the last one I had written. I don't understand what happened since I had saved it after closing it. (I always close everything and turn off the computer when I turn it off for the night. It's my part of being just this close to full-blown OCD.)
Anyways, I needed to try and rewrite some of the stuff I saved before going tits up. I couldn't finish it quick enough and I wasn't going to skip a holiday party featuring a lovely win by my beloved Dallas Cowboys. (I grew up in Cowboy country, sue me.) And I got home much later than I thought I would in order to finish the chapter off. Only Grammarly is saving this verbal diarrhea spewing onto my keyboard right now.
So anywho, I'll try to get this finished before the end of the week, and then I expect to be postponed for a while after that since there is some holiday coming up or something and I'm not a complete horse's ass. I don't want my editors having to worry about something they aren't getting any pay.
So, I hope to get it sooner but I'm announcing any plans since that is where this all started.
