Hoot!
I did it! I beat the Writathon!
Feels good to be 'free', not that I had to push so hard. Now it's back to four chapters a week. I'm gonna try the new method of 3 days writing, one day break. Today counts as the first so if everything goes well, I'll have my first backlog chapter next Saturday. That should allow f...

I've been kinda taking it easy today and didn't get much writing done. Not that I'm not excited for the upcoming stuff but I've just written so much these last few days I needed a little slowdown. You'll get a chapter tomorrow (about 14-16 hours from now, it's about half-done right now) and another one on Sunday. Gonna ...

It's time to get some more stuff moving in this story but sometimes things just happen, you know? My draft is still pretty bare-bones since I write much better without having everything laid out. Not that what I plan ends up exactly how I do. I still like where it's going right n...

Hello there!
I got a bonus for you! Three more chapters this week and the Writathon is beaten! I'm starting to think about how to proceed after that. I might just write the same amount to get a backlog for Christmas. Or something else, I don't know.
On another note, this month looks to be one of the highest reten...

This is a pretty long conversation. I hope it's good to read. I tried some new things and I think it turned out well. Tell me what you think.

Another one for you. It's a little late again but it's also a bit longer than average. I'm gonna try for daily chapters but no promises. Today was a little better with motivation already and we're getting to some fun stuff soon.

I kinda got caught reading the last two days. First, Candlelit Lives. And then this morning I decided to catch up with Hive Minds Give Good Hugs. Two great stories. I really enjoyed them. I think part of why I preferred reading over writing was a slight hint of burnout. I'm not sure. The Writathon is a ...

No bonus chapters last week because of Pokémon. I still have a bunch of stuff to do in the game but I'm almost at the elite four so most of it feels not as immediately necessary. I'll get some more writing done today. Maybe I'll have a bonus soon.

I'm back with another one. This is yesterday's chapter, once again sorry for missing it. It was not just because of uni. I had some ideas before writing 112 that I forgot to put into that and had to take some time to figure out if I should do some major editing. I decided against it. The things that were mis...
2021-11-17 14:36:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey all. Just a short notice. I was too swamped with uni today and won't be able to finish the chapter. You'll get one tomorrow instead. That's about it. Sorry about the delay. I hope it won't happen more often. If it does, a schedule change might be appropriate.
Have a nice day/evening, wherever you are and I'll see you tomorrow!

This seems very late, doesn't it? Well, that's because it's long. Nearly 3900 words. I'm counting this as a double chapter, meaning this is today's and the first bonus of the week. Tomorrow is my busy uni day so it might be late again.
Thanks for all the support, as always, and I hope you enjoy!...
