Saturday, Almost Done & Updates

I hope you all enjoyed Chapter 35, which went up yesterday, just like I promised. =) Amazingly enough, I managed to finish the next chapter BEFORE putting that one up, although I have edits to do yet...but still!!! This means that I can give you a definite date on when that one will be going up, which is Saturday. Hopefully I'll have the next chapter done by then, although I really have a week to finish it because I hope to post the rest of the story on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which is like every half week. Good for me, good for you, and pretty soon we'll all be done!

Now, I've had some comments about how I shouldn't give up, and how my mindset isn't that great for finishing this thing,  and I thank you for your comments. I felt though that I should reassure you. I'm not giving up, NO WAY! I've come this far and I'm not going to neglect this story now! That would be ridiculous! Sure, I'd love to get this thing done, but part of my "I want it done by this date" is because I generally work better under pressure. So by setting a realistic date for myself (which is being done with writing in about two weeks) means that I am able to write to the best of my ability. It sounds weird, because it sounds as though I will be spending less time per chapter, but that's not really true. I generally spend between 2 and 6 hours on a chapter, which is a large time frame because sometimes I do delete things and re-write (Chapter 36 was very much this way!). On average though it's probably about 3 and a half hours per chapter...and add an extra hour if I'm watching a movie or something while writing. While some chapters go faster than others, I'm not giving up, and don't worry, this story will (hopefully) end just as strong as it started. =)

And finally, I'd like to let you all know that I will be doing updates. This includes multiple fixes, including original typos that just kind of continued (galley, wookiee, etc.) for some reason. You know, it happens. I thank those letting me know about those errors though! And I'm sure you're wondering why I don't fix them now when I write. Well I am so close to the end, and I have this list of things I need to do when I go back through each chapter anyway, so it's easier if it's the same for every chapter. I do guarantee that everything should be fixed before September, as I intend on re-reading each chapter and going through, making notes for the next story, fixing grammar in some smaller spots and, as I already said, fixing typos. Also, those comments before and each chapter will be leaving as well, to give the story a more professional look. =) Don't worry though, I'll continue to do those comments as I write, they're just getting taken out in the edited version.

Thanks everyone for reading, commenting, reviewing and everything else.
