So yeah... (Chapter 7) · 6:57pm Jul 10th, 2016
Well... I was close to finishing chapter seven... then realized it was terrible. Now I'm down from 12k words (which was about 70% completion for the chapter) to 3k. The massive scrap wasn't because I'm a perfectionist or anything (Payday 2 killed that part of me long ago), but because I genuinely didn't think the direction I took the chapter was good.
I think my struggle to write is due to both a lack of alcohol, and a dispassionate association with life at the moment.
My story isn't dead, but my lack of updates sure shows I'm still inexperienced.

That is a lot of word scrapping. I'll be here patiently waiting so no worries from this reader.
4096832 I've actually decided to go for a short chapter of about 6.3k, which will leave it as a set-up for the next chapter. Think it'll be better than the massive chapters I tend to do sometimes. Just need my pre-reader/proof-reader to give me the greenlight, which will be sometime within the next 24 hours.
