Well, I wasn’t sure if I was going to have an update for you today or not, but… surprise! I do! Thank goodness for short chapters! Chapter 38 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!
It’s been exactly one year since I started this story on July 1, 2022. In the past year, I’ve worked on it every single day and written a total of 205,783 words and 38 complete chapters. I’ve updated it almost every week since I started posting it in October, the only exceptions being the day Aaron died and the weekend I was at 90s Con. I’m proud of that record of consistency and hope I can keep it going. Like I said last week, I have a solid start on the next chapter, but it’s not done yet, so I can’t promise with 100% certainty that I’ll be able to update next Saturday.
Thank you to those of you who reached out with feedback and ideas after my last post; I appreciate your investment in the story! I know there are a few Brian fans out there hoping for more Brian content, and as a Brian girl myself, a part of me feels bad for not writing as much about Brian as I used to. It’s been a long time since I wrote a genuine BRIAN story (that wasn’t an April Fool’s joke). I do still have several ideas for future Brian stories – a psychological thriller that always has the potential to be one of my next projects (I actually thought it was going to be before I went back to My Brother’s Keeper), an old-school suspense that would be fun to develop, an angsty medical drama that I will probably never write because it’s too sad even for me, and a couple of very old AU ideas that will probably never get written at this point either. I’m also always on the hunt for A-Rok story ideas. But, for now, I’m still really enjoying writing about Kevin. I hope you’re enjoying reading TWWBW!
