Thank you. Yes, a deliberate theme of this novel is coming out, and I wanted to tell Bobby's coming out story in a way that felt true both to my own experience and that of many queer people I've known.

Your second paragraph depressed me briefly (omg, I'm still writing the same damn fanfic novel while people's lives are going BANG BANG BANG!), but then I realized that lives move at different speeds at different stages. You are in the BANG BANG BANG period of your life and I'm in the incremental change period.

That being said, I'm planning my possible future as a novelist now and maybe I'll be BANG BANG BANGing a bit myself in the next few years.

Well keep planning then, because I'm still reading and enjoying.

I like this. I like Bobby's hesitant but also determined approach to "new life". As you said, it kind of rings true to life.

I LOVED Redshift and Remy. Remy's Pot;Kettle speech. Nicely done.

All in all, I'm still loving this and eager for the next chapter.

Planning the new novel is such a relief. I've had the plot outline for years, but I actually stopped myself from letting it loose in my head, because I would have felt the need to start writing. I can only write one book at a time!

So now, characters are starting to develop colours and the world is deepening in details. I will actually wait until DOB is done to start writing an outline, but I'm looking forward to it so much.

I like what you say about Bobby's "hesitant but determined approach." He's a methodical guy, and when he's ready for something, he goes for it.

Next chapter? It's ready to go, but my hosting seems to have gone awol for a few hours. I sincerely hope it's up by this evening, or I'll be breaking my Friday promise.

Thanks for reading.
