Obviously I should have known better than to put a date on when I'd release this thing. That was dumb.
The long and the short of it is that when I started restructuring a few story beats in order to set up the ending I wanted to, I sort of fell down a little rabbit hole and had to fix a few more things, and so on and so forth. Things snowballed a wee bit. Death by a thousand cuts as they say.
THAT SAID...I've been writing, tweaking and writing some more just about every night. Which is way more than I have been in years. I think as a whole, FNL: The Remixes, or whatever I end up calling it upon re-release, will be a much better, much tighter story. And more to the point, I will be much happier with it.
I'm not going to release anything until I'm done with it this time, and I want to release on a regular schedule, probably twice a week Wednesday and Friday. I'm close to finishing it, so bear with me a little bit longer.
P.S. Also my editor is on my ass weekly/daily, so take heart there's someone pushing me.
P.P.S Also, also, hey, there's an editor this time. So, as another of my favorite writers always footnotes his writing with, all errors will be mine (and intentional).
