For off, just got to say that I've been getting your reviews to Chapter 3, and you all truly never cease to assure me that I'm doing good. Love ya!
But, as per usual, I'm sure you want to know when the next chapter is coming. Well, tonight I was given the final plans from a friend who I'm going to go visit next week. I knew that it was going to be a few days and that I'd have to either post before or after I got back.
Sure enough, I will be visiting my friends from next Wednesday to Friday, maybe even until Saturday, depending on when I decide to drive home. So I had a decision. Do I delay posting Chapter 4 until Saturday, or give it to you early and post on Tuesday?
As a reader, I knew I'd want it ASAP. As an author, I don't want to post too soon and run out of material. So, I've compromised by bringing in a few other things.
Therefore, here is the schedule for the next few days and into the next week:
Sunday, Aug. 26th: Teaser to Chapter 4
Tuesday, Aug. 28th: Chapter 4 published
Friday, Aug.31st or Saturday, Sept. 1st: Ooooh, something *special*
Note that I will continue spoiling you for the next few days as I give you a chapter two days earlier than I would have planned, lol. BUT...These next two dates are tentative:
Monday, Sept. 3rd: Teaser to Chapter 5
Wednesday, Sept. 5th: Chapter 5
I've got to warn you though, I don't want to reach the point where I run out of chapters to post, so after this, I may be slowing down a bit. No, not with three weeks in between chapters. But perhaps an even week/ 7 days. That's why on the Saturday, you'll get something to tide you over before I get to Chaper 5 and start getting on a tighter schedule.
Nothing's concrete, it all just depends on how much I have completed, compared to what I still have to write, mixed in with whatever life throws at me. And once I'm back in school, things will get even trickier, I'm sure.
Just know that I'm always thinking of the readers! lol. I want to give you the chapters as quickly as you want them, but I have to have a bit of a hold on it.

Everyday From Right Now: Chapter 3
LINK: EFRN: Chapter 3
Omg, you guys. I woke up this morning to find that my wireless internet connection in my laptop wasn’t working! I was practically in a panic! I knew I had promised you all a Chapter! Luckily, my mild skills with technology got the connection back, so I’m currently zooming as fast as I can online, hoping it doesn’t go out until after I post. *le sigh* Curse our reliance on technology!
Thoughts on Chapter 3:
-- Not a whole lot to say about this chapter, it’s fairly straight forward:-- This being a Ron/Hermione story, you were bound to run into the first all Ron/Hermione chapter at some point. And Chapter 3 is it.
Together they may be, but there’s still a lot for these two to go through together. There’s a lot ahead for them: everything from having good old rows, to long over due talks, and of course, taking their friendship to the next and - I can’t shy away from it – more physical level.
This chapter, I would say, is a combination of those three elements, as they tackle the immediate points of their first kiss, the Lavender incident (bleh, lol) , how they feel about each other, and a certain book about charming witches. :)
It’s got a bit of fluff, a little dash of drama, some humor and even some really mushy lines. I’ve done my best with keeping them in character- though you have to admit, it’s not Ron/Hermione without some fluff, lol!
I'm really excited to see how you all feel about this chapter. And as for Chapter 4 and when it'll be posted....hmmm...I'll check out your reviews, lol. Depending on those (and whether or not pesky life gets in the way again) I may post a few days early (like this week). Otherwise, it hits the schedule and will be up no later than the 30th.

Before The Next Chapter...
I just finished re-reading and finalizing the next Chapter to Everyday From Right Now. And I can't wait to post it!
But because I didn’t have much to say about Chapter 3, I’ll leave you first with a few things regarding the story as a whole:
-- No your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, that is indeed a new summary on the story. To be honest, summaries are never my strong point. I actually had a list of 8 before choosing the one that the story debuted with.
Now however, as I’ve been writing along, I can see how the story is taking shape, so I decided that the summary need to be more…hmmm…which word to use? Effective? Expressive? Accurate? …Well, anyways, I just decided that it needed to be more than what it was. Hence the change.
-- I haven’t said it out right yet, but I wanted to let you know…A LOT of the story is already written. Yup, just sitting on my laptop’s hard drive. As eager as I am (and you all are) to just post a chapter a day, I don’t want to do that. There’s two reasons for that.
The first is that it helps me avoid a time where I run out of stuff to write, and then it leaves the readers hanging for new stuff. Back in the day, for my first story, I posted as I wrote, but that backfired when I would hit a months worth of writer’s block. I never liked leaving people hanging. So I learned that what I can do is write about half the story and then begin publishing, that way, even if I hit a block, I can still do postings, including spreading those out for as long as it takes to start writing again.
Luckily for you kids, I haven’t hit a block yet, and I just keep adding another chapter to my stock (lol) every few days. I hope to never leave you hanging for longer than a week. …but if I ever hit a block, I will make due with the chapters I have until I start writing again.
The second benefit to this whole having nearly half of the story written business is that since I am now getting your reviews of the first chapters, I just have to tweak what I have to fit your demands, instead of having to start all over. In fact, your reviews from Chapters 1 and 2 inspired a big plot line having to do with Fred’ funeral, a bit more obvious moments of Harry/Ginny, and some decisions about whether or not the trio is going back to Hogwarts for a final year. When I can see what you want earlier, I can make sure you don’t get it too late.
-- And I’ve had one person ask me how long I think this story will go. And quite honestly, I have NO idea. Lol, at all. If I had to guess….I’d say at least 20 Chapters. At Least. Seriously. When I titled the story “Everyday” From Right Now, I had no idea how accurate that was going to be.
Will I cover Nineteen Years? LOL…well…right now, I’ll say no. …but hey, there’s always a chance at sequels, right? ;D
Technically, it is already Thursday, lol, and while I could post the chapter for you now, I really want to try finishing the one I’m working on before my bedtime in another hour (at 2am, lol, gotta love summer).
So, as per usual, I’ll be updating mid-day…probably in another 10-12 hours, lol. 12pm-3pm PST.
Catch you later!
