Ollie needs to talk to his best friend, Conor, about what happened to him in the client’s basement. They’d arranged to meet at the local pub, but Conor got there first and was talking to someone at the bar. The three young men spent the evening drinking, and it was late when Ollie found the courage to speak about what happened with Conor and their new friend, Ewan.

Is A Week A Long Time?
I’ve been very busy lately. Yes, with my day job, but also with my writing. I hope you saw the teaser for my new series ‘Odd Job Ollie’. I’m enjoying writing it, and Ollie is certainly given some odd jobs. The writing of the series will come to a close shortly, and then I’ll be going back to edit the many chapters I have written. After the main story concludes, I hope to return to Ollie’s story and write more about the Odd Jobs he gets up to as standalone stories. So, if you have any odd jobs for him, email oddjobollie@explorecockaigne.uk or click his advert below to be directed to the story page where you can leave a comment with your odd jobs, and it might be turned into a story.
This post, however, is about the gap between posting chapters or stories. Is a week a long time to wait for the next chapter? Or would you like a mid-week update? When I start posting the new series, I will definitely be trying to deliver two chapters a week.
Do you like the wait to find out what happens? Does it make reading more exciting? Is anticipation half the fun, and so you spend the week waiting for the next chapter, wondering what the characters might get up to next?
