Interlude

I know I've begun to detail more things about the different parts I thought I'd interlude with something else for a little bit. Most of this is probably just babble to just help me work things out, because things always get worked out better when you're able to express your thoughts physically instead of trying to sort them all in your brain.

Currently I'm having trouble keeping up with how much I post. I really hope that I'll be able to update three times a week, but the buffer that I was able to create before I actually posted the first chapter and throughout November and December have been waning quickly. So far posting three times a week means that I've been publishing twelve to fourteen chapters per month, but in January I only wrote five chapters, and only seven in February. (I had actually written eleven chapters in February, but four of them had to be scrapped for re-writes that I have had to do this month.)

But really all this post is dealing with is trying to convince myself that I either need to spend more time writing (Which I'd rather not do because I don't want to burn myself out on it) or decrease the number of chapters I publish down to two a week, or even one a week. I don't really want to do this either, but it seems I may have no choice considering that I only have about a fourteen chapter buffer currently.

If I am unable to finish more chapter this month to at least meet how many chapters I've published, I will decrease it down to two a week during the month of April, posting every Tuesday and Friday instead of Sundays as well. The current part (Part Nine) that I am rewriting the last two chapters of is called 'Nocturna' and after it will be (Part Ten) that will be 'Lost', and then a short story to serve as The Space Between's first Interlude.

If I am unable to write as many chapters as I publish during April, then the Interlude with be the beginning of a hiatus, in which I will use a month's time to not only rebuild my buffer, but to take a short break in order to keep the story from becoming stale. If all goes according to this plan, the Interlude will be published in mid-June and I'll probably restart publishing in mid to late July. 

Even if I am able to write an equal number of chapters to what I publish, I may go with this plan anyways, I personally feel that I've been relying too much on DC and Marvel properties, as I have yet to write anything outside of it besides the Hellboy chapters. The original intent was not for it to be exclusively DC or Marvel, but for whatever Sci-fi stories I wanted. I haven't really been able to do that so far, and I'd like to take some time off to be able to work some of these things out. Currently, Nocturna, Lost, and the Interlude are all inwardly set, so we won't be seeing any new worlds or characters for the time being.

After the Interlude I have basically no options other than parts that only drive forward the story of the villain (Who has yet to be revealed so I won't spoil anything) or other important elements of the story, with nothing in between as a 'cool-down period' or anything to add to the group itself.

Currently I have one other core member that has yet to be added, but he may not make it because he's a DC/Marvel character and I'd like to have some differences in the core group. (The core group, including any that will be added in later chapters of this first 'book' will become something different in the 'books' to come.)

I do have a few ideas of new members that are not DC/Marvel characters, but I have yet to narrow them down or come up with an interesting/logical way to incorporate them.

TL:DR Things might change.
