Not An April Fool's Post! Also, Hi! · 1:19pm Apr 1st, 2017
Today seems like a perfectly good day to say things in a public forum with the expectation of being taken seriously, so here are some words!
EDIT: This really isn't an April Fools thing, I honestly just haven't been focusing on anything in particular despite efforts to do that, and here's the result of thinking about it for a while.

I've gotten almost nothing done on the next SFaCF chapter, because as with the last month or so, I've been bouncing between stories like a rubber ball covered in bees, and gotten quite a lot of writing done in stuff I'm probably not going to be ready to publish for a temporal period yet undisclosed to me! One of them is the next story in the Dazzle and Fluff/Fluff and Dazzle whichever I loosely dubbed it series, which was supposed to be done some time in January! And yet, 5-6k words finished in some other thing I started just a little less than a week ago!
The lesson I draw from this is one I technically drew before; that rigidly sticking to just one thing can be exhausting, but spread over four or five things like glowing, green honey to roughly the same effect. I've thought to myself 'Nah, I can't start another story, I'm writing too many as it is,' but seeing how much difference it apparently makes, maybe that's been part of my problem? It probably goes without saying that I'm not going to fully finish everything I ever think up, no matter how much I like the ideas or enjoy what the stories shape into. That's not to say I'd be abandoning everything I've got going, but the hope is that I'll at least feel refreshed and up to writing that stuff more when I've done something else for a while.
