The Dreams: Chapter Forty Seven

Cover by A. R. Shellnut

This story is over 195,000 words long. Can you believe that? We’re closing in on the end now. I’m feeling a mixture of overwhelmed and excited. Today I’m just glad I’m posting this chapter on time.

I’m still aiming to finish writing The Dreams this month. The final chapter will be posted sometime next month or possibly early in December. Starting on November 1, I’ll be posting the first draft of my next novel, Inbetween, on my Patreon. Once The Dreams is finished I’ll start revising and posting the second draft of Inbetween here, but the first draft will continue to be a patrons-only thing.

With this chapter like every other chapter, I owe a huge thank you to my fantastic supporters. If you enjoy my writing please consider becoming my Patron.

The Dreams: Chapter Forty Six

Sorry about this chapter being late! Being almost caught up to the point in the novel I’m writing is really messing with my revision mojo. Forgive me!

I hope that this chapter was worth the wait. As always, be sure to let me know about any errors in the chapter or any other issues you might have with it.

My goal is still to finish writing The Dreams this month. As of right now, it looks like the last chapter will be posted in either November or December. Starting on November 1, I’ll be posting the first draft of my next novel on my Patreon. Once The Dreams is finished I’ll start revising and posting the second draft here, but the first draft will continue to be a patrons-only thing.

The Dreams: Chapter Forty Five

Cover by A. R. Shellnut

This chapter and probably the next few are going to be a bit less polished than I would like. In a perfect world I wouldn’t be revising until I could look at the chapter with fresh eyes, but jumping around and working on scenes I was comfortable with has caused us to become very nearly caught up to the part of the story I’m writing. I don’t want to stop sharing chapters so I’ll just do my best to get the writing cleaned up. My goal here is just to be sure that I’m posting something that is of better quality than my first draft.

Speaking of first drafts, I’m going to start writing my next serial in November for NaNoWriMo. I’ll be sharing my first draft every day on Patreon so be sure to head over to my Patreon before November if you’re interested in seeing the next novel before anyone else.

The Dreams: Chapter Forty Four

Cover by A. R. Shellnut

This chapter might be a little strange. Most of the time I try to let a chapter rest for a while before I got back and revise it so I see it with at least semi-fresh eyes. This time parts of the chapter were written just days before I jumped back in to revise. I’m not sure what that means for the quality of the chapter, but I think it means I’m less likely to be objective about what I wrote. Please let me know if you spot any serious issues with this chapter!

The Dreams: Chapter Forty Three

Cover by A. R. Shellnut

This chapter is so, so late! Somehow it feels appropriate that it’s a longer chapter. I was knocked out by a migraine for several days this week and had the bright idea of trying to work on this week’s chapter while under the weather so I had to go back to fix everything I messed up when I should’ve been resting. I hope I straightened everything back out.

Thank you for being so patient with me! The next chapter should be back on the regular schedule.

The Dreams: Chapter Forty Two

Cover by A. R. Shellnut

I’m not sure how I feel about this chapter. I have a feeling it will be obvious that this is part of the story that I did not have a clear, planned out vision of when I started writing it. These scenes were planned, but never really planned. With time and another round of rewrites I think I can make it much better. For now this is what I have.

If you’re interested in reading The Dreams as a .pdf, .epub, or .mobi please check out chapters 1 – 39 here.
