It's done.
Finally.
Two Years, four months four days since I started this crazy book.
It needs some polish, but I finally said, screw it! And just uploaded all the remaining chapters. The last four, all at once. It's DONE.
Hara-Kiri Nonfeasance is DONE.
Well... book one of the trilogy.
It's weighing in at 280k words... and when I go back and fix things, It wouldn't surprise me if it hits 300k

BUT IT'S DONE.
DONE!!!
DONE I SAY!
DONE!!!!

congratulations on your endurance to finish your story; it must've been difficult
I didn't want to half-ass it, so I really dug deep into the trauma vaults. I REALLY twist the knife at the end there, but hey, if there aren't real risks, then why get invested in the story? Bit of a cliffhanger at the end, I will admit, but I have always planned on Book 2 and you gotta get the readers to come back somehow, ya know?

All six of them.:blob_pat_sad:

*sigh*

Never has so much been written for so few.

I recall some deity telling me a pro tip is to go back and put 50% on the cutting floor to make it better :D

Dude... I DID THAT ALREADY.
I have like... 100k sitting in reserve for this mess. This is AFTER I took out about a third. Although, honestly, about half of that will be going into the next book. Recycle, reduce, reuse. But yeah, I bet in total, considering I tossed about... I wanna say 100k. I didn't have a limit on the size of the book, so the need to cut stuff wasn't really there.

However, if I gave this to an editor, yeah, I bet you could trim away about 150k and come up with one intense and tight book, but I really like my side tangents.

Hey, those readers are sticking with your story, so it's worth it.
