Any chance weāll get an update soon on the year of living series?
hello there!
So an unfortunate reality that AYoL has been teaching me is that I know nothing. As an example: when I was writing the a/n for Chapter 5 I included reference to how it was the second of a trio of chapters I had nicknamed The Goliathsā¢ļø. Thatās because, with every chapter as an active wip, a pattern emerged pretty quickly that 4, 5 and 6 were looking a lot larger than the rest. At the time I wrote the a/n, I thought to myself, āI hope, after I say this, that no one will be disappointed when 6 is the shortest of the three, because it isnāt even going to make it over 40k like 4 and 5 both did.ā
Last night, Chapter 6 broke 58,000 words with more to go. It will be over 60 by the time itās done. Is this a disrespectful word count for a single chapter to be? Almost definitely. Is it profoundly embarrassing to have sworn up and down that Chapter 4ās 41k word count was an anomaly that would absolutely be the longest in the epilogue because nothing could ever topple it, only for 6 to be pushing one and a half times the length and counting? Yeah⦠yeah itās pretty embarrassing.
The good news is: 6 is very much underway, and my brilliant beta has been reading along in the trenches for many moons as I write because Iām pretty sure asking anyone to beta my chapters once theyāre finished would be in direct violation of the Geneva Convention. So ⨠The short answer ⨠(which Iām never very good at obviously) is: I have high hopes that it will be updating Soon-Ishā¢ļø. But I also, as established, know nothing.
Iām sorry itās been such a wait, this chapter is a big one in more ways than oneābut I think itāll be worth it.
