AQATWA: Shambling towards the second half

[inverarity]

I know, folks, I know. I'm getting more people asking me in slightly worried tones if I'm really going to finish book five (let alone the series). And how I said I'd be done last year, then that I'd be done this year.

It's been a rough year. I just don't have the writing time I used to. But I am still writing. I even want to get around to writing other things besides AQ. That hasn't happened either, lately.

But, however slowly, progress is being made. I hope you all will still be around when I finally get to the end.

I just finished chapter 30, at 152K words.

cactuscommando has finished his splendid series of AQ fan art. And he's promised to make an AQATWA cover to match the others he did, when I have finally finished a rough draft.

The girl who introduced me to AQ has lost faith over these long years, but I still believe!

Mostly I just hold out hope that now that she is out of school Alexandra will be pulling badass stuff like her Dinetah escapade all the time.

Hmm. I totally forgot that you said you would be done last year. You should just pretend you always meant 2014. "I said I would be done at the end of the year, but I didn't say which year."
Well anyway I like this series enough that I'm going to keep checking on it unless you specifically say that it's never going to happen.

Ooh, I know absolutely nothing about any of your writing... can you give ma run-down / where to start?? I always like reading new things :)

Hi cenowar - see the sidebar. I have written one fan fiction series - Alexandra Quick - and one stand-alone next generation story, Hogwarts Houses Divided.

Chapter 30 - now THAT gets me hopeful!

Just finished re-reading the whole series again and am wondering where a wandless Alexandra will end up. Thanks to the Grannies I think she'll flourish. Good Luck and May The Muse Be With You!

It's both hopeful and exasperating to read this :-)
