    Welp, here's a life update

    These last couple of weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster. Good things have happened, and also bad ones. No wonder I could relate to both Furina and Navia in the latest Isekai chapter. Sometimes pretending things are fine is really exhausting, even if they do get better.

    Update to the Isekai coming tonight! And some additional details and change of plans.

    First, to everyone waiting patiently for the next Isekai chapter, I apologize for the delay. I know there are a lot of people that want to see another visit to Hell happen soon, and it will, I promise. However, due to some circumstances, I decided for a different pair of visitors to visit the bar this week.

    Boost Reminder!

    As discussed not too long ago, local legend and friend Skeeter The Lurker suffered some devastating losses that impaired his ability to work and live. We've all done well to get him close to achieving his objective, but he's still a bit short! Just saying, that if 10% of all of you awesome people that follow me donated a dollar

    RIP Akira Toriyama

    Without a doubt one of the most influential creators in not only animation but modern culture. Everyone around the world has been touched by his work in one way or another. Love it or hate it, the man made a mark in the world and a lot of our hearts.

    He will be missed and remembered.

Ye gods. That took some time.

I think one of my biggest, most annoying weaknesses as an author is that when I'm nearing the end of the tale, I tend to lose the energy to write. Not the love for the story, mind... but, like Magical Trevor, Lammy, Super Big Mac and others could attest with The Empty Room, it's almost like I'm fighting against myself because I want it to continue, though I know it needs to draw closer to its inevitable end...

This of course, is a pain in the ass because even if I know where I'm supposed to go—or even where the story has guided me—it seems like I need to force myself to let go of something I got addicted to somehow. I mean, this doesn't happen with all my stories, thankfully, but the ones I have spent time and effort and imagination and even some emotional attachment are particularly hard to push through at times.

So, today's chapter is not the end, of course, but it ended up being a wall I had to climb to carry on. And I feel like I can now. I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to leave comments there!

Oh gawds now you got me on the edge of my seat. ....

Well I suppose it's what I deserved after chapter 17 of Equestria's Changeling Queen...

Ever heard the saying "kill your darling"? I learned about that in art school and I think it was a way to say that you need to take a risk with a painting that you really like in order to move forward and finish it. I think it suits your description above to some degree as well.

3947783 In a way yes. I guess when you've nurtured a story into something awesome, you don't want to "kill" it or mess around with it lest you mess it up. But if you don't, well... it'll forever remain in limbo.

3948073 You worded that way better then I did, but yes that is exactly what I meant.
