So, first things first: I’ve updated All We Are with Chapter Sixteen. Next week, we say goodbye to this story as I’ll be posting Chapter 17 and an epilogue, as well as the full ebook that went up for the giveaway winners and Patreon supporters this weekend.

I haven’t worked on All We Are now for a month (other than some editing issues) and I already miss it. It was a fun story and it worked out almost as I had intended. I’ll be posting some extra bonus material for that story next week as well — the original plot sketches, some of the ideas I tossed in favor of the final version. There’s already a handful of deleted scenes over at the Patreon site.

Secondly, as I mentioned in passing, I’ve decided to push Bittersweet back a bit. I’m going back to work in September, but I’ll be going back to school as well. I have my bachelor’s and master degrees in History, but I need to my teaching certificate — I’m taking a few years off before pursuing my Ph.D–so I’ll be going back for education classes. I’m taking five classes in addition to working three days a week. Not to mention my best friend is getting married in June, and I’m serving as maid of honor, so there’s stuff going on there. I have a full load of nieces and nephews–and then you know, sometimes I might want to just stare at the ceiling, haha.

So my writing time is going to shrink–I’m just being realistic about that. I don’t want to get into a position where I’m promising you guys updates that don’t happen.

I’m also going to shift into the update schedule I intend to utilize in the fall–the one I experimented with last spring. I’ll be scheduling updates on the weekend, and posting one round-up post a week to catch everything. Which means if you read my work on message boards or other sites than CG, you’ll get your updates on the weekend in the fall.

So, I’ll be finishing All We Are next Monday. Fiction Graveyard will move back to Mondays the following week, with The Best Thing on Wednesdays, and Damaged on Fridays. If I can get enough of TBT done, I’ll be bumping that up to twice a week.

I plan to finish writing TBT and Damaged Season 2 by the end of August, so then I’ll be writing Bittersweet and will probably post it sometime in late September, but I’m hoping no later than October. I’ll keep you guys posted. Bittersweet‘s schedule really depends on how well things go with The Best Thing and Damaged Season 2 this month.
