The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Twelve Months stuck?

... at 50%
per jim's little "progress-o-meter" widget.

I think I recall it at 50% kind of a long time ago...
Is Jim having another case of writers' block?
Is he so feverishly-productive that he's had no time to update his widget?
Did the Dresdenverse suffer a temporal anomaly, and he's had to go back and re-write a bunch of stuff?
Or...?
I'm hoping Jim's event at last weekend's Comicpalooza (or last month at the Steampunk Expo) shook loose some in-person bit of info, that "the channels" didn't see.
Or maybe it's all already old news somewhere else...?
LaraBeck:
According to a fan who attended Comicpalooza this past weekend, Jim said he's planning to turn the book to the editors by July 1st.
In theory, that could give us a release by the end of the year.
I don't trust him to keep that schedule, personally, but let's hope.
Just Al:
Do I remember reading that Jim had another case of COVID? If so, that could explain the delay. Long COVID is a bear to deal with (bear being spelled so it rhymes with witch). It's also possible that he's just gotten distracted again.
In any case I too wish he'd finish this book and move on to complete the series. I'm getting old and want to find out what happens in the BAT. If it takes him another 20 years to finish I don't think I'll be around for the ending.

OK, the widget's just out of date, then -- TYVM, Lara!
Not even Jim "I couldn't keep a writing schedule if you threatened me with a radioactive wood-chipper" Butcher could estimate July 1st if the draft was only 50% done.
Like you, I don't trust that timing; but it's a strong indication that the draft is close (way closer than 50% done).

Thanks Lara, at least that's more promising than the 50% but I'll be happy so long as he gets it done
