I’m back with my monthly story update!  Chapter 78 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!

Sorry I’ve slowed down so much on this story this year.  Truthfully, I underestimated how much time it would take me to write the twenty-five retrospective blogs I planned for the site’s twenty-fifth anniversary this year or how that would impact my actual fanfic writing.  I thought I would knock most of them out over the summer, but that was not the case, so ever since I went back to work, blogging has really cut into my fiction writing time.  That is clear to me when comparing my word counts for both projects.  I’ve written about 65,000 words on TWWBW this year and about 50,000 words for my Throwback Thursday blogs.  I will be happy to post the last of those later this month and be done with that project, so I can devote more time to writing fiction.  Hopefully next year will be more productive on the story front!  Anyway, thanks for putting up with me.  I appreciate your patience!

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!
