Okay, so ya’all have been bugging me for updates…so here ya go:

I’ve finished the *coding (I think) for the dance scene of the WW:U sequel. It’s fast-approaching 30,000 words (not counting coding) and i’m pretty sure that it’ll beat-out 40k before i’m done, as i still have three of the date conversations to write-up AND the versions of the Sem-prank where you are A)not dating him and B) are trying to stop him.

So you get an idea of what that means for the game overall, the dating-dance scene will be the bulk of the ‘third chapter’ as i track such things. The ‘first chapter’ is done, which consists of another 2 scenes. The ‘second chapter’ is all plotted-out in *coding, but its maybe about 45% done as far as actual writing–it’s one of the bigger chapters because it consists of four scenes similar to the ‘hooky’ chapter in the first part, where u can choose to go with Sem or attend orientation. SO that makes this a four scene chapter even though you’ll only actually see three of them during any one read-through.

And before anyone asks: No, i have NO IDEA how many chapters there are going to be! At least, not yet. DX

And on a further note, so you guys also know whats up with the novels:

I currently have two Way Walkers novels finished, one set in the Clan Lands and one in the Tazu Nation. Both of these represent the beginning of a longer series, though the Tazu Nation one is slotted as a trilogy and the Clan Lands one…well i have no clue how long that insanity shall stretch. Both these books have been sent to many a publisher; they have all been rejected based on a very simple flaw:

They are WAY too LONG. (one is over 220k words and 700 pages, the other is over 260k words and 900pgs)

Anyways, i know it’s been a bit quiet around here, and i just wanted to let those loyal followers of mine know that *things* have been going on behind closed doors.  Some pretty big decisions regarding Way Walkers have been getting thrown around, but i don’t want to say anything specific until i’ve really decided how i want to proceed, and if i actually have the means to do so.  However, i do want to squish one rumor that’s been floating about: i will not give up on this world.  It is true that i’ve hit some personal roadblocks regarding some things–but i am not giving up.  You’ve asked me for the WW:U sequel–you will get it.  You asked me for the novels: you will get them.

I just have to sort the how.
