Happy November!  It may be dark and cold outside, but I’m about to light up your inbox (if you’ve subscribed to receive update emails, that is).  Chapter 77 of The World Will Be Waiting is up, and the drama’s heating up, too.  Get cozy and enjoy!

Sorry it’s been so long since the last story update, but I’m finally back with Chapter 76 of The World Will Be Waiting!  This chapter has actually been finished for a while, but between busy weekends and wanting to write ahead and make sure things are working out the way I want them go, I needed to wait a few weeks to post it.  Thanks for bearing with me.  I hope you enjoy the new chapter!

Sorry I seem to be on the once-a-month story update plan, but that’s just how it’s been going lately.  This has admittedly not been my most productive summer, from a writing standpoint, although my streak is still going strong at 1,276 days in a row!  I actually had my best day of writing all summer yesterday, which is why I didn’t update on a Saturday like I usually do.  I didn’t want to tear myself away from the chapter I was working on to edit the one I’m posting today.

With that being said, Chapter 74 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!  This is a short and sweet chapter that was originally going to be a lot longer, until I ended up separating it into two chapters when the second half got way too long.  I finished 75 last night and started 76 this morning, so I’m still plugging away.  But now that July is winding down, I’m gonna get busy again in the next few weeks, so I may have to stay on the once-a-month update plan for the foreseeable future.  As always, feedback is motivating and much appreciated, so thank you to everyone who has or will let me know they’re still reading, either here or on AO3 or social media.  I hope you enjoy the new chapter!

I’m back with an actual story update!  Sorry, I know updates on The World Will Be Waiting have been slow lately.  That’s due to a combination of factors:  long chapters, slow writing speed, external distractions, and, at times, a lack of internal motivation on my part.  To be clear, I love this story, and there is not a doubt in my mind that, barring some kind of tragedy that takes me out of commission, I will keep writing it to completion.  But, after working on it literally every day for the past three years, I’ve definitely run out of steam and slowed down some.  It happens; no one stays in the “honeymoon phase” of a novel forever, but working through the inevitable slumps is a part of the process of finishing one.  While I do have a few other incomplete novels to my name, I usually finish what I start and am 100% committed to completing this one.  I just want to reassure my readers of this, so you don’t assume that a lack of updates means a lack of commitment on my part.

With that being said, Chapter 73 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!  This chapter has actually been finished for a while, but I’ve been holding onto it while I worked on the next one, which is almost done as well.  This one revolves around the big Frick & Frack fight from the documentary.  I’ve written a one-shot about that from Brian’s point of view, but it was interesting to look at it from Kevin’s point of view, especially through the unique lens he has in this particular story.  I hope you enjoy it!  Thanks for reading and for being patient with me!

Between the release of Nick’s new album last week and “The Perfect Fan” demo dropping yesterday, May has been a great month for BSB fans, especially us Frick & Frack girlies!  I’m loving all this new (and old) music!  “Storms” is my current favorite track on Nick’s album.  It’s such a beautiful song, both musically and lyrically, and it’s both poignant and deeply personal.  Sometimes I listen to songs and immediately think, This will inspire a story someday.  “Storms” is definitely one of those.  I’m also enjoying the all-Brian version of “The Perfect Fan.”  I know the fandom has mixed feelings about Brian and this song, but I’ve always loved both.  To have this previously unheard recording of Brian’s beautiful voice in its prime is such a precious gift!  I appreciate every note of it.

In other news, my school year is winding down, and I’m already getting into summer mode with my writing.  I had an amazingly productive writing weekend last weekend and am finally getting ahead of myself with The World Will Be Waiting again.  Chapter 72 has been posted!  This chapter revolves around the recording of one of my favorite BSB singles, “In a World Like This.”  I drew inspiration from one of the deleted scenes from the documentary.  Enjoy!
