I’ve submitted Chapter 21 of “Aiden and the Ring” for posting. I’m about to crank up the heat a bit more. Aiden’s best friend, Dan, has an intriguing proposal for him. If you think it’s gonna be straightforward, you haven’t been reading this story. Once again, as a humble thank you to my supporters, Chapter 22 is also available on my Discord server.
As regards the overall story…. I completed the rewrite of “Aiden and the Ring” last week. Note to self: never, ever post before finishing a damned story. Incredible pressure released over here in the yards. There are thirty-six chapters plus a short epilogue. In the end, I hacked out several spurious events dealing with lesser characters. Those would be better served with their own side-stories. Supporters can expect to read those later this summer. Because, damn it, I love all my characters. Of course, for everyone else, they’ll also be available on Bookapy.
There’s still work to be done on the story, so posting will remain at one chapter a fortnight, though I hope to get a complete edition on Bookapy by the end of the month. Once it goes live, I’ll push to a chapter/week, schedule permitting.
What’s on that schedule? Well, the Yards are full of projects. Now that Aiden’s done, while I’ve taken last month’s votes to heart, I’m focusing on bringing another character’s story to life. And I need to focus on rewriting the rest of the “The Immortal.” I’m missing Jim and Mandy something awful. Also, as of this morning, I’ve got thirty-three stories in one stage or another. Plus another thirty-four concepts. Not enough hours in the day!
As always, if you’d like to know more about my scribbling, or wish to chat about anything, I’m very active on Discord. While writing, I’m on almost every day. See my profile for invite link.
