A small update
What is going on
So, you can see we are about halfway through March, and I haven’t given many signs of life.
I had problems IRL, and I was busy comforting myself doing other things (like changing my whole config to use niri, a wonderful new WM for Wayland.)
You can go see my dotfiles on the git repo
But that’s not important.
Status of the chapter
This chapter is going to be big. I am already around 2,500 words on it and I haven’t written like half of it. So I accepted that this chapter was going to be a chonky boi, as such it will have a chonky deadline (this is totally an excuse to report the deadline, I’m the writer and you’re not even reading this so who cares right?)
I think I’ll be done by the end of March. And Hopefully I can do Chapter VI in April.
Status IRL
May will be a big month, I’m moving halfway accross the country for my next (and hopefully permanent) assignement with my job. I’ll start doing my job as a DevOps Engineer (which is a cool name to say a whole lot of nothing) there.
I don’t think I will be able to write much in May. But I think I’ll have Chapter VII in the works to be finished in June.
Roadmap
From there it’s just a matter of finishing the Chapters VIII to XVI, and the epilogue, and like I said earlier in another post, from there it will be editors, alpha readers, and all that jazzy stuff.
I’m very not ready to announce a date and I don’t even want to. Because it’d pressure myself; and thus no date announced, it will happen when it happens.
Sneakpeak
Ok I’m not a monster I will give you a good quote from the first part of Chapter V, not my favourite because on the off-chance someone reads this blog. First of all thank you? Really I thought this was my blog and mine alone so wow. Cool.
Right, on the off-chance someone is reading this I don’t want them to be spoiled of the delight of reading my favourite sentence in the chapter, but enjoy a sneakpeak.
“I know what he said, but I’m sure we could… convince him.” they said, looking positively guilty.
