I got really far to around 9000 words updates will be Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday. Monday to edit. No Foolin. 

Have you Tried Strange Horizons? They may be able to help you get published. strangehorizons.com

PS - deviantART won't let me upload or post anything so the chapters will be on here and they'll be on deviantART whenever it gets over whatever nonsense it's doing right now.

Three chapters this next week releasing Monday Wednesday and Friday. Things are gonna get hectic soon and this was kind of a test. Hope you enjoy them.

Five more chapters next week before the schedule migrates to whatever is available to post due to changes in my ability to write each week. Not going to be a proper hiatus but some weeks may not have a chapter. A lot up in the air. I'm gonna try to shoot for one a week minimum, likely Wednesday update. We'll see how it goes. 

Final five chapters of mystery lake have been written. 12,000 words again with a lot of it in the epilogue. This is the denouement. We have some chilling out, some spring breaking, a little book reading, a promised rendezvous with a spooky story, and then that mega epilogue which leaves our characters in very thoughtful places. A few things to raise eyebrows and etc. I decided to throw out quite a few answers/resolutions to lingering things. 

The last full week of 5 chapters but what I consider the final numbered chapter and the epilogue didn't fit into this five set.

I had to work late but I got to 11,000+ words for almost the end of the story. Got to a huge climax and it's gonna be a cliffhanger before we finally get our characters to the ending. 

A much easier week of writing as I became more with groups and possible friendships making my life better with plans/hopes. More that in the future. Also the longest write with plenty of cool action scenes & villainous dialogue. Friday sets the tone. 

Never seems to get easier with these weeks but we just have one left after this. This one's going to be very interesting. First of all there's something you might never expect to see with Layla, an argument between characters who should be happy, a prison break, another dream that I turned into a fascinating scene in dream again, noticing yonic imagery, and the dialogue and lines that I am so excited to share because it's some of the coolest. We're almost at the end of this story. 

Five more. Layla and Barry have to revisit the most chapters so it's hard to shorten all all that up and not skip some certain emotional beats. I'm really trying to do my best with it. I took on some interesting notes from what I learned this week. Quite a journey and almost caught up. A few more ditties. 

Five more chapters. More flashbacks like tonight's I kind of went whole hog with the flashbacks again but they're kind of necessary and there's not gonna be a lot after these five. It got me crying so hard. 

Five more chapters with the biggest stuff for next week. Going to be some flashbacks after this followed by the final scenes. We get to see yelling, hope, death, uncertainty, and some epic reveals.
