EFRN: Chapter and Posting Update

It kills me to admit it, because I hate having to do this. But with many, many apologies, I think that I’m going to have to take that small break and postpone the posting of Ch.14.

*ducks projectile objects thrown by my miffed readers*

Hold it, hold it! I’ve got reasons! I can explain!

*pause in attack*

Here’s the deal:

I’ve got a full plate this week. Reading a novel by tomorrow’s lecture, Halloween festivities, studying for a midterm that will be on Monday, club meetings on both Wed. and Thurs. night, a presentation for an environmental group this Thurs., any additional homework I get assigned…in one word, I’m swamped.

I’m not going to post Ch. 14 this week because I usually re-read the chapter, correct spellings and grammar, making sure continuity is still there…I basically do a final edit. And since I have no real time for a final edit, and I’m not going to break the quality of my chapters, I’m not going to post.

*objects continue to be hurled*

WAIT! Wait, there’s more, there’s more!

*pause*

Here’s the trade off for the delay: I am going for a visit home this weekend, meaning I very well may find a couple hours to myself. In those couple hours, I can probably secure another chapter, chapter and a half. If I can do that, then I will cave and post sometime EARLY next week – maybe even next Tuesday.

But I’ve got to work more on this story. Otherwise, you’re going to run out of chapters and you’ll have to wait longer than you’re used to. This way, it’s only a couple additional days.

Also, tomorrow and probably on Friday, I will be posting Deleted Scenes from the story to tide you over. There may even be a oneshot coming up as well – something that sort of just came up one night (lol.) that I couldn’t help. Different storyline, but still cute, I think.

*whispers…and finally…grudging agreement*

I absolutely PROMISE you that you will get Ch.14 next week, no matter what. It’ll be up as early as November 6th and no later than the 9th. But I need a short breather in order to keep going at the quality you are all used to.

And don’t even worry…in three weeks, I get a five day weekend for Thanksgiving. I plan to write non-stop the entire time, so I won’t have to break for awhile longer.

Keep those eyes open for the deleted scenes. I will for sure keep you updated on any changes…and see you with Ch.14 in due time.
