Dreamer's Sanctuary

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!
