Noah, the Embarrassed Nudist (progress update)

This is the first major update I’ve offered for the sequel to A Series of Embarrassing Events.

TBH I planned this update for a week or 2 ago but my time budget overran slightly. Noah, the Embarrassed Nudist has taken 15 months to write (as did ASoEE). With the first drafts of all 33 chapters (subject to change) complete, I can move on to the arduous task of editing.

At the moment the story is 265,000 words! It really has been a lot of work. I expect to start editing it in March, a process that becomes more intermittent once I start writing new projects while continuing to edit until the story concludes in April/ May 2023.

NtEN should be ready by September and I’m planning (but not guaranteeing) an uninterrupted weekly schedule from the 1st or 2nd of September through to the 15th or 16th of December. This will conclude the first part of the story.

It’s been a really challenging story to write sometimes but I’m confident it’ll deliver embarrassment and excitement. There are some interesting dramatic developments that I hope readers will enjoy too.

One of the most difficult things is that this is Noah’s story so the attention does not stray from events he is not involved in. It was impossible to fulfil certain character moments without moving the attention onto them for isolated scenes; my hope is to make these scenes mini-chapters (more writing for me) on their own.

There is still a lot of work to be done to deliver the best possible product so while readers need to wait (what seems like) a long time, I’ve been working very hard on the story. I hope it’s worth it.

 

Unrelated note: I have standalone story planned for March. It is unrelated to any of my other titles and I will share details about it closer to the time.
