Yeah, I am. I plan to finish everything. The problem is that investigations and trials take ten times longer to write than normal life because you have to plot out every single minor detail in advance, then repeatedly go through things and make sure all of the points and details line up perfectly, or else the mystery doesn't make sense anymore.

As a pantser, I found the trials the most fun, exhilarating part to write. I've drafted two trials so far, and they represent the two days where I've output the highest volume of material since I started this project. (First trial might have been two days. It's much longer than the second.)

Now, we'll see how well they hold up when I go back and edit. Pantsing a mystery is a dubious project, so I'm hoping that there won't be too much I need to tailor to maintain the mystery, provoke intrigue, and not spill the beans along the way.
