My muse was mostly absent for the past couple weeks that saw the number of chapters uploaded ahead of time dwindle from four to zero. I have Chapter 278 mostly finished, but it's not ready for prime time, so will probably be another day.
Perhaps only four more chapters to go to the end of _Beth_ as we know it. However, take heart. While it will be a while before I get enough chapters written of the follow-on story to begin posting it, I've got a few written already. The format will be different, as Beth will not be the sole storyteller, but the story will pick up the storyline immediately after the last chapter of _Beth_.
HOWEVER, I'll be spending a lot more time and energy on It's My Party for the nonce, so I can get that story up on its hind legs, given that it's the very first story idea I ever considered actually writing, much less publishing. Perhaps I can get the scores up, as it's obvious that many readers don't understand the nearly psychotic aspect of the protagonist's writing. Regardless, the protagonist is obviously NOT Beth and, except for age and sex, not at all similar to Beth.
Cheers, all, and welcome to the northern-hemisphere's backside of summer!
