It’s weeks like this past one that remind me just how much of a family the BSB fandom is. While I hate the circumstances it happened under, I love to see the Boys, their families, and my fellow fans come together to support each other. I’m happy for my friends in the UK and Belgium that the last few shows of the European leg of the DNA World Tour went on as planned and was glad to see how the fans who attended lifted Nick up with love and support. I’m also happy he and the other guys are headed home for a few weeks off with their families before the Christmas shows begin.
Back to our regularly scheduled updates… After postponing this one, I decided to post Chapter 6 of The World Will Be Waiting a day early, since I had the day off work due to Veterans Day. (Thank you to all the veterans who have served their country!) As I mentioned in my post last Saturday, this chapter does include a scene about Nick dealing with Leslie’s death, which may be triggering given Aaron’s recent passing, but that’s not what the majority of the chapter is about.
I’m working on Chapter 20 now, and the story is over 200 pages long and nearing the 100,000 word mark, so writing is still going well, and you can expect regular updates to continue. I have a feeling this is going to be a long story, probably quite a bit longer than My Brother’s Keeper, considering it’s already almost half as long and nowhere near the middle of the plot I’ve planned… and so far, I am really only plantsing (half planning, half flying by the seat of my pants) this one. I don’t see it becoming By My Side long, but I now remember how and why BMS got to be as long as it did, LOL. So hey, hope you like long stories! But I guess you probably wouldn’t be here if you didn’t, since that’s kind of my thing. Thanks for reading!
