Okay, the chapter is not happening today. But in the interest of not leaving you with nothing worthwhile to read, some further explanation.
The story has reached the end of the second act, which climaxed with a huge action scene. And now it’s time to take a breath, reorient, and get things sorted out for the final push. And while I have written a couple of drafts of this story already, some very significant things are new this time around. That whole sub-plot with Digger being Rev’s mentor? Brand new. The sub-plot that climaxed with the shocking revelation about Rusk and the Kaos Kings right before everything blew up? Brand new to this draft.
So I can’t fall back on the previous drafts as much because the characters in this story have gone through some very different things, learned different things, and will have different reactions. And because of an increased workload at work, along with the increased workload of the March Experiment, I haven’t had as much time to really think through the reactions of all the characters as much as I should. And I owe you the best chapter I can write.
So next week, on Friday, March 18, you’ll be able to read Chapter 29, “Crawling From the Wreckage,” and the week after that, on March 25, comes Chapter 30 and the moment you’ve all been waiting for (without, perhaps, realizing you were waiting for it, but you’ll know it when you see it). I sincerely hope you’ll stick with me and not adopt Whiz’s attitude from the end of the last chapter.
Oh, and of course, donations are always welcome.
