College graduation, summer school, Lasik vision correction, getting my heart broken by yet another man, three deaths in the family in under five months, getting a job at Disney World, and learning that I will be moving to Australia next year-
These are just a hand-full of the things that happened to me this past year as I wrote the latter half of chapter five of RRDC. Hence, the reason it took so long wrong to write (I'm not going to mention that the latter half of this chapter wound up being ninety-one pages long; that had nothing to do with the waiting period at all). But today is a good day; despite life I have managed to plow forward and post the new chapter, just like I said I would. Well, not exactly how I said I would. But after learning from my experience last time, literally like five minutes after I posted the new chapter, I went outside to my writing spot (sort of like a laughing place) and I began work on chapter six. Since I'm writing the next three chapters at once, the wait won't be quite as excruciating (like waiting for a new season of the Venture Bros.) and will provide me a bit of a buffer for writing the remaining chapters. I have no idea how long it will take and I have no idea when it will be finished. All I do know is that I'm not giving up writing this story until I can write that last word of the final chapter. Though I have a strange feeling that this whole thing might surpass the entire Harry Potter in terms of page count. For those wondering, I do know what the last word of the last chapter will be: "bless."
