So to make up for my general lack of being around this month, I went ahead and posted the second half of Tangle, up to and including the Chapter 17 that I don’t think I ever posted. Chapter 18 was about half finished when I abandoned that version of the story, so like the repost of Mad World, I posted what I had left. Unfortunately, the outline for Chapter 19 disappeared so I’ll have to look through my files with a fine tooth comb to locate it. I don’t have an ETA for the rewrite, but I’m hoping sometime in 2016 🙂
I know that it seems that updates slowed downquite at a bit at Crimson Glass this last year between health issues and crazy mojo sucking real life issues, but looking back I actually completed quite a lot so I’m going to stop being hard on myself. You guys are fantastic, I’m the one who yells at me 😛
The Best Thing – I had a slow year on this one. I only wrote about fifteen chapters, with three more remaining. Still fifteen isn’t awful considering how much I didn’t write between 2009-2013 😛 With an average page length of 11 pages and word count of 4000 per chapter, that’s a 165 pages and 60,000 words.
All We Are – I completed seventeen chapters, clocking in at 162 pages and 63, 149 words.
Damaged – I completed Season 1 with an additional 96 pages and about 35,000 words and wrote all of Season 2, with 204 pages and 94, 665.
With taking into account several short stories, that’s 627 pages of content and 217,849 words in the last year. There are actual published authors who haven’t written as much as I did this last year. So while, yes, that was a bit a slow down from 2014, 2015 wasn’t too bad, so I’m going to forgive myself for not updating as often as I’d like. I like to think I post quality material and taking a bit of extra time to make sure it’s good is not a bad thing 🙂
However, 2016 is going to be different. I’m doing a lot of writing and planning to stay ahead of myself so that updates will be a bit more even and frequent. I don’t enjoy going entire months without new content, so that’s one of my New Year’s Resolutions to myself.
So have a happy holiday season, enjoy the rest of Tangle, or peruse one of my other holiday stories or hey, read last year’s All I Want For Christmas. See you guys in 2016!

You rock! Not sure why you feel the need to rewrite Tangle rather than just complete it. I remember reading this when you first published it and waiting and waiting for updates. I think that began a years long hiatus from fan fiction for me when they stopped coming. Either way, I love the story and characters you created and look forward to whatever you do next. Happy holidays, feel better and all the best for 2016!
Hey 🙂 I know a lot of people like Tangle just the way it is, and I totally appreciate it. It’s more of a creative thing — I think I could write a better version of it that better works in the universe I’m creating.
Happy new year! I hope you are feeling better. Just wondering what you think your update schedule will be so I know how often to check back.
Hey! Updates will be resuming weekly now.
