How many chapters in Book 4?

Ah, the thing you all want to know. Well, after the Big Two questions.

How many chapters will I write in Book 4?

The answer is... [drum roll please]

I'm not entirely sure. I'm currently writing Ch35, and I have events broadly outlined to Ch40, but Patreon has shifted my thinking a bit. I'm no longer in a rush to finish Book 4 as quickly as possible.

Why? Well, that's a longer story.

The tl;dr is that I don't have to wrap up Book 4 in order to start earning money for all my time and effort. I can finish the book the way it should be, with the occasional distraction along the way.

Right now I think it'll be at least 45 chapters, although I can't really be sure until I get further along. I have milestones and events that the story will eventually cover, but how we get there isn't always clear. (That's how I write, at least.)

I guess you'll just have to read along and find out.

Just finished Better laid plans and it's one of your hottest stories I can't wait for the Erin chapter and then a chapter with different combinations of the family. If you haven't bought this do it now.

Pretty sure you get a bunch of formats in the ZIP file. So yes, I believe it's Kindle compatible.

Nick Scipio

Do you know if that site is kindle compatible?

James Mayer

Yep. Originally Book 4. I think it'll take place after B5-Ch10. That's subject to change, of course, as I keep writing.

Nick Scipio

So it will be a side story to book 5?

Is there a link for blp? I can't find the teaser

James Mayer

BLP takes place during spring break 1984, so it's still ahead of even Ch28. And how do we get from here to there? Well, you'll have to read to find out. 😉

Having read the new chapter 28 I have been back and re-read The Best Laid Plans. In its introduction it says it takes place about a year after the events in chapter 22 so where does that fit in relation to upcoming chapters? Looking forward to seeing how we get from the current situation to Paul's woman conundrum in The Best Laid Plans!

Thanks for the update! And I also favor quality over speed. I have been a faithful reader since you started and have reread the stories many times. Thanks for sharing your writings with us.

That's my preference as well, David. Quality over speed. I've always enjoyed this story, and the characters are the best part. More time with them is always good.

Nick Scipio

Thanks for the update. I for one don't mind an overall longer wait to 'finish' if that's what it takes for your writing process. I much prefer quality to speed. And if the new platform enables you to write how you want, so much the better!
