When I Started: November 2018
How I Lost My Shit: I had a missing scene in the penultimate chapter that I was struggling with and then I made a misstep that was resulting in rising action in the last chapter. Either that or an emotional cliffhanger that was no-one's friend.
How I Finished My Shit: I had to rearrange the penultimate chapter to deal with my angst over that missing scene, and I had to backtrack my poor plot choices in the last chapter, even though I was really butthurt about it.
Thanks to my artist, AngelicInsanity for the great work on this story. So much art! Also, appreciation to the mods for being flexible and giving me a new posting date when eye issues were getting in the way of me posting on my original date.
