    Lessons Learned, Moving Forward, Story Updates and Cancellations

    Not sure if anyone reads these—hello if you do—I have a few things I'd like to get off my chest. Fair warning: this is mostly a rant and, to a lesser extent, an update for moving forward.

    Story Review: To Perytonia by Cloudy Skies

    Hello! Welcome to the start of my romance recommendation series; a very sporadic one that will not appear in feed boxes very often, rest assured! I must confess that these posts are primarily for my own benefit; scandalous, I know. I want to improve my own writing skills, and making these reviews should hopefully serve to aid in that to some degree but I suppose we shall see.

Honorary Crusader chapter 9 is well in the works!

I've found a method that works for me and keeps me on track with writing once more. Instead of creating strict timelines each day which I need to follow, I instead created a deadline for the end of each day in which I need to have a certain word count done. For some reason going from "write between 2-4pm" to "just have a product done before midnight of the following day" works for me. Why? I don't know! But it helped me secure my college degree several years after I essentially dropped out so I believe it'll help here too.

The next chapter will be relatively short and is currently sitting in at around ~2k words. My current writing goal each day is 250 words (very small I know) but that's mainly for the fact that I may be participating in the EqG Spring Fling contest with a deadline fast approaching. Considering I have very little knowledge of EqG and haven't seen several of the movies and specials... It's safe to say I have a lot on my plate currently so I believe 250 words a day for my main long story is generous. After that I'm going to expand to 500 words and work from there until I find a comfortable range to target each day with the exception of taking one day off a week.

Anywho~ expect the next chapter by the end of this week! Thanks for remaining patient and being understanding! :heart:
