Update (20th May 2017)
🕑 Added 2017-05-20 00:59:57 +0000 UTC Quick update for you all.I have finished the first 'position' of the first sex scene - it still needs major editing but that will all be done in the editing phase now. Changes that needed to be made that were significant for finishing the story have all been done, and what needs to be cut and how I have noted. Moreover, this has been the problem 'position' - along with the lead-in to the first scene - for the last two years, so having that out of the way is a big step.
There are roughly fourteen 'positions' in the first scene, four of which are major, four or five middle, and the rest minor. So a lot more to go but you at least get the idea of the progress/shape the story is in.
I have a lot of ideas about what I want to add and some things I want to remove - to the story as a whole and the sex scenes. I have been working everything out and as a very rough prediction (that may change) the build up is about 121 pages in word, so the three sex scenes and narrative will take up another 200 (possibly 250). I would like to keep it 1/3 to 2/3 balance-wise. The first sex scene will take up a huge portion of that.
Trying to do at minimum five pages a day, though I am onto the final big change that needs to be made in what I have already written so that needs to be done first. If I can do that - and like I said, this is just a prediction and can change, as can how much needs to be done (I get a lot of new ideas, try things that don't work, and so on) - then I am guessing the first write through of the whole story should be done around the end of June / mid-July. Editing should take me a few weeks. Most of the build up (121 pages) won't need editing very much, just a few additions and changes. The already mentioned first 'position' will (this will need to be reduced from the current 51 pages to 15-20 (max 30)), and the rest will need some too. This is because I edited the build up a lot over the last four years.
So time-frame should, if all goes well (again, subject to change so don't take this as set in stone), mid-end of August is a possibility for the final story. We shall see. I will keep you updated on the % completed and what this means for the timeline. Don't get your hopes up yet - but just so you know, I have a time-frame in mind now.
