The Upcomming Weeks for EFRN

I've got homework to do...so of course I escape into the fanfic side of my life. :)

As I've already noted, I will be taking next week off so that no one (myself included) has to worry about a new chapter in the midst of a break from school and family dinners.
And actually, even with Thanksgiving aside, as the month of December begins to fall upon us, lots of big events are coming up.

Here's how the next chunk of weeks look for me:

Wed. 21st-Sun. 25th: Thanksgiving Break
Mon. 26th-Fri. 30th: Blue and Gold Spirit Week at UCLA (BEAT 'SC!)
December 1st is my birthday (19!) and I'll therefore be busy that weekend. ;)
December 8th-11th: The dreaded FINALS have arrived! :O

And while I have a nearly 4 week winter break, I'm going to be in Iowa from Dec. 25th- Jan. 4th, for the Iowa caucus for the Presidential election. And I start school again on Jan. 8th.

So what does this mean for the story?

For one thing, my actual writing/editing time will be nothing short of sporatic, meaning some things may take longer. However, the tentative posting schedule for at least the next few chapters is:

Ch. 16: I'm leaning towards posting on Nov. 29th, because the activities on the 30th are all-day and insane.
Ch. 17: I'm expecting to post on Dec. 7th, on time...but if I need to study, I'll post on the 6th.
Ch. 18: Dec. 14th sounds right

But for Chapters 19 and beyond, we've run into a slight problem. I take the holidays off not just for me, but also because I know that people are out Holiday shopping, taking vacations, and then there's New Years.

So although it won't be a hiatus because I've got no more chapters...I may take a hiatus just on the simple fact that I won't have time to write/edit and worry about updating. Especially for my week in Iowa. I'll be campaigning, lol, no real writing time there.

The hiatus would be just for those holiday weeks, from Dec. 15th to January 10th, posting what will be Ch. 19 on January 11th.

And I know that does suck, lol. I hate not writing as much as you all hate a lack of updates. But I never want to write a crappy chapter just to meet an update. Its better that I take my time and write a phenomenal one. Besides, you'll all get plenty of presents over the holidays to enterain you. ;)

I know this is all pretty early to plan out, but I usually do anyway, lol. And when you look at a calender, December is only about 2 weeks away, it'll sneak up on you.

There's still three more chapters before the break, so that's good...there're actually very good in my opinion! ;) And of course, during that hiatus, I may find time to sneak in a deleted scene or two. It won't be a total draught.

But in the meantime....let's worry about me getting some more chapters written. And I'll see you shortly with Ch. 16. :D
