yoo are you continuing any of your ao3 fics?? i miss ‘everything you hoped for’ sm 😫😫
Hi there, sorry for the delayed response! I'm really hoping that I do continue 'everything you hoped for'. Life is busy and tiring though, which makes it hard to get into the mindset to write. It still really bothers me that it's unfinished, it will definitely be the focus for any energy I have for writing into the future.
I think I used elliedina week a couple years back as a way of trying to ease myself back into writing and hopefully continuing 'everything you hoped for'. It kinda worked, kinda didn't work - so while I was tempted to participate in the prompts this year, I decided not to so I didn't go down a new rabbit hole and create more work for myself.
I've written roughly 2,000 words so far for the next chapter, and a 1,000 for the one after that. Maybe 8,000 words all up in draft scenes and notes that haven't been published yet.
I've got a synopsis for each of the remaining chapters to conclude the narrative arc with the story anticipated to be between 20-21 chapters by the time it's finished (only 12 published so far). I still need to figure out the scenes that make up the chapters though (and then write them).
I'm not sure when I'll be able to post anything next, I'm undecided about whether I should post the next chapter as soon as it's done or wait until I'm further ahead in writing so I don't get anyone's hopes up and have a chance of trying to build a rhythm. I get a lot of motivation from posting and getting engagement, or getting nice asks like yours, so I'm not really sure. Thank you for the serotonin boost though, you're definitely the reason I'm working on the story again today.
