I don't usually whine about an installment being too short, but. . . I really want to see what happens when Joe comes downstairs (or meets Chris and Steve upstairs).

A thoroughly rotten place to break off ... mainly 'cause I can't lurk online for 24hrs waiting for chapter 30.

How about taking a longer train journey home? Grab a take-a-way, drinks of choice and move onto the train for the duration. 'tis a good way to write a novel ... honest, guv. :businesssmiley:

Oh, erm ... 28, 29 and whatever comes next feel like they should be together.

Btw, apart from the appallingly rude moaning above, I'm still loving it - in case it wasn't obvious.

Well, I'm trying to chunk this out as best I can, and it's been a bit of a trial to get longer pieces done. (I really need to grab something to eat on the way out of work in the evenings...) I've only got one more chapter queued up, and a second mostly done, and at the moment it feels like having smaller pieces that actually go out is better for the whole writing momentum thing than longer less frequent releases.

I'd toss chapter 30 out there once I get 31 done, but I think it's best to keep things at no more than one a day, so people following along don't miss one and wonder what's going on. Which means tomorrow evening at the earliest. (And Chris is in so much trouble by the time this day's done... )

(And 31's now done, and a beefy (for this) 1700 words. Something to look forward to on wednesday or thursday)

No worries. What's really happening here is that you've drawn us in, so we're itching to know. That's good! Also, you are posting really often, so it's not like we're waiting months or anything.

Lucy is absolutely right. Because of the speed you are posting, and because you are letting us 'in' earlier than most would dream of, it's giving us a sense of involvement that is unique ... hmm. Well, I understand what I'm trying to say.

Ah, I realize nobody's really rushing (not that anyone, me included, would mind the whole thing getting posted tomorrow) which is fine. I'm trying not to get frustrated at the pace this is going. Some days I can manage 1K words in an hour no problem, others I spend twice as long and manage 50 words, and it's frustrating. Some consistency and predictability (preferably at the higher end... ) would be nice.

Ah, well, I managed almost 3K yesterday in two chapters, so there's some stacked up stuff, which is good. More fun later tonight, then.
