Hello! It’s been about seven weeks since my last update. When I posted the final chapter of My Brother’s Keeper toward the end of July, I was getting ready for my last bit of BSB summer fun before I went back to work and working on Chapter 3 of the sequel. Now that we’re more than halfway through September, school has started, the North American tour has ended, and I’m working on Chapter 12! I thought it might take me more time to get far enough to feel comfortable posting the story, especially considering how busy and exhausting this time of year is for teachers, but August and September have been surprisingly productive months for me on the fanfic front. I’ve managed to keep my daily writing streak alive and well – it’s up to 241 days as of today! – and the new story is already over 100 pages and 50,000 words long. I’ve always been wary of starting sequels because pre-BMS me didn’t have the best track record for finishing them, but I’ve come a long way since then, and I’m glad I made an exception for this one. It’s going well so far, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
In honor of Kevin’s birthday, I’m going to post the first chapter on October 3, two weeks from today! That gives you a little time to catch up on My Brother’s Keeper if you haven’t read it all. In the meantime, here’s a little sneak peek of the premise for its sequel!
Synopsis:
Four years after the tragic accident that changed his life forever, Kevin tries to keep moving forward… by going back.
It was nice to log into my site account today and see that I’ve still had traffic even though I haven’t updated in a while. I actually had more visitors in August – a month in which I did not update even once – than I’ve had in any month since January of last year. Go figure! I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder. In any case, I love knowing that people are still coming here, clicking around, and reading my old stories. If you’re one of those people, thank you! You are a big part of the reason I keep this site up and running. I’m excited to deliver some new content for you in a couple weeks! Stay tuned!
