Chapter Delay -- ETA Sunday (Patreon)

Attention, I'm calling a chapter posting delay. In the course of working on 10.20 E, I wrote 60,000 words, a huge amount of writing. My beta-readers have signaled that most cannot even provide timely feedback on the writing, and I, personally, am a bit tired as well.

There are more substantive edits needed in the second half to make sure the chapter hits all the notes. I think the bones are good, but releasing it today would be a poorer experience even if I could do it. I am staring at over 1,400 typos combined and taking them out is going to take at least an hour...and that might not be all the typos that could be found.

Give me until Sunday to try and get the first chapter ready. I am splitting this one in two and going to try to release the second half on the 13th, with substantive edits. No promises, though; you may recall that I am going to a wedding. Well, instead of taking my break this coming week I am going to TRY to edit. If I cannot, I will make another announcement and delay the chapter till the 20th. But I will do my damndest to get both chapters done and the best versions I can, instead of leaving you hanging.

...It's not like the chapter is bad. It's just that reading 60k in one sitting makes your experience potentially worse, and there are tons of little scenes and fixes in the second half I agree I can put in. Apologies and hope for a Sunday release!
