Always Coming Home Forecast

daidoji_giseiI was recently reminded that ACH has fans (I tend to downgrade my own works, so I forget these things--I think sometimes I must really irritate my friends), and as it's been awhile since I posted the last installment I thought maybe I should explain what's been happening with it.
The first two pages of ACH 13 (which needs a title) are currently trapped on the hardrive of my home computer, which suffered what is apparently a power-supply failure in mid-February. This week I finally made arrangements to get it fixed, but I'm not sure how long this will take--but baring any new life-problems, I should be able to get 13 finished soon after that.
Meanwhile, I've decided to start work on ACH 14 (which also needs a title). I'd been thinking of dropping 14 out of the sequence in the interest of speed, because I really didn't think that it added anything to the overall story, but last weekend I watched several hours of random Bleach clips and had a revelation that 14 actually made direct comments on the events of ACH 12. (No, I can't explain the connection but it's there, I can feel it.)
ACH 15 has a title, I think, but I can't remember what it is. It should be fairly easy to write, as I've been carrying it around in my head for several years now. Just to wind Helen up, I'll give a small spoiler: It has a tree in it.
ACH 16 has a title: Always Coming Home. It will be very hard to write, I think.
13 and 14 are pretty firm; 15 and 16 are projections. I say this because it's possible that midway through writing 14 I might suddenly realize that there is some vitally important information I forgot to share with the reader, and need to slot another story into the sequence. But these are all the ones I know about, and tonight after I finish doing my taxes I'm going to find a notebook and start 14. Promise.

Good luck.
