State of the Flighty (and Spliced)

[flighty_dreams]

Hey all, just posting to say, yes I am alive! I'm sure it doesn't look like it, but I have been my obsessive productive self and am still writing away, even if I have not been good with the whole regular updates on LJ thing.

I've actually worked on Spliced a lot the past couple of months, and can happily say I have completed a first draft of Part 5. It's been over 2 years in the making just to write this Part, so I'm quite happy about this! Not to say there isn't plenty of editing still to do (I can already hear my beta aurila saying, "Hey, it's nowhere near ready yet!") but it is definite progress! And hopefully this should also equate to more regular updates (fingers crossed).

Part 5 will be 16 chapters total--barring any sudden decisions to add/delete chapters or something--and there will be a Part 6 to conclude (whoa, scary word!) the epic saga of the Spliced boys. Don't ask me yet how long that one will be; I still need to make the outline. FYI, for those interested, it looks like Part 5 will be ~80,000 words on its own, bringing the total tally for the series so far (Parts 1-5) up to 293,000 words.

One final bit of good news, I will post a new chapter this week! Of course I wouldn't blame most people at this point for thinking, "Wait, who are these characters again?" but that's my own fault... 

Oh and a shout out to aurila, who helps the boys (and my writing) be as good as they/it can be--something that sometimes often takes a LOT of work! But no one is a bigger supporter of Spliced (and me) than her, so I suppose I must continue enduring her brutal honesty. ;-)

And lastly, thanks to all you readers out there who are still sticking with me despite my long hiatuses, and who still care to see where my stories go next. Your support and lovely comments make my day!

Oh-glad to hear you're doing well! That's even better news than the Spliced update! (wait, did I really...no, no, I mean it)

Can't wait to see the boys again, and really appreciate you taking the time to send out the newsletter :-)

Tis good that you are sounding happy and healthy and that you are still writing up a storm.

Awwwww, so many sweet words about me and brutal among them :P

OMG! I just realized that I'm checking my friends page more often just in case you've posted! I know you're not posting today, but I just can't wait! :DDD

There are many comments about your health. Have you been ill? I have a heart full of wishes for you to be healthy and happy! *hugs*

Go you! That is a scarily impressive word count, btw.

Out of curiosity: Did you write the other parts as a whole before posting, too?

I am both excited and girding my loins. I have been thinking of poor Matt recently.

Glad you are back.

Oh yesss! It makes me so happy to hear this will be completed one day :) Don't push it, we are willing to wait as long as we get it someday ;D Also, loved the chapter 7, thank you ♥
