Technically, the challenge itself is complete now that I have made the 45th post. I used all 7 allotted skip days and managed to write a chapter of at least 2500 words each week for the entire year of 2023. Of course, it’s also looking like my friend that is completing the challenge with me is also reaching the goal, so alas – no loser, no cheesecake victory.

That being said, the story is obviously not done. I will continue to update weekly until it is finished. There may be a few weekends where I have to skip when I am out of town or too busy, but my goal is to continue to update as I have through most of the year. I am expecting that I will be done before February is up, but we’ll see where the story takes us.
