Sometimes you lose yourself in your own narcissism. That's when you find out you might be the bad guy.

    Going on an unexpected, but short, vacation

    I will be mostly away from all things electronic due to the vacation.

    Writing still going well though- won't write stuff on my phone unless inspiration strikes, since this is a family vacation over at least a few days of my nieces' spring break, and I know I'm all about some vague idea of "routine" and editing on my phone is possible but not my favorite thing to do.

    See you in a few days.

    Writing Again

    Have been chipping away at the next chapter of my big G5 story and I relaxed by playing the new Yakuza/ Like a Dragon game. Almost no lifed it, had an absolute blast with the story and characters and coming back to writing my own stuff feels fresh again.

    Dunno when its coming out because sometimes I work on two stories concurrently but stuff is back to normal and that's a good thing.

    Released another story- not my normal fare

    I work on a few different projects between the big ones I focus on. I've spent like 2-3 years on this one to make me even comfortable to release it.

    Plan to release a chapter a day until its done. (There's 3 total chapters so its going to be a rather quick release)

    Going to be away for a few days due to the holidays, writing is slow but consistent

    An early Merry Crimbus to everyone and I'm working on two or three different stories at once so the overall progress is slow but I don't foresee me releasing much of anything in January unless I focus hardcore on one story.

    Might do that, but no promises. Still happy holidays and all that stuff. See you soon in 2024.

Tentative Schedule · 1:42am Oct 31st, 2017

Since I had nothing better to do today- taking care of dogs and dealing with children et cetera, et cetera. I have decided that the update schedule for my story will probably need to have a basic idea of when stuff's coming out.

Mostly cause regular updates is nice and regular, mostly on schedule updates is nicer. Also since random holidays interfere with my writing almost entirely and yet most of the time I can eke out 500-preferably 1000 words just fine I need some kind of schedule.

Now reading my story it seems that many a chapter is around 7000 words for a "day in the life" sometimes more sometimes less.

So you could say weekly updates? Probably not, because each chapter- minus the first one which is the shortest because its just introducing the idea and felt right to end it there/ 4000 words used to be my maximum comfortable word count. But adding in the fact that in the last fourteen days, I have written 500 words on two of them at least and that 8000 word chapter in two days was a complete fluke of circumstance and enjoying the work, well let's add another week for strange circumstances and holidays.

So hopefully every 14 or so days I can release something. And no this doesn't mean 10k chapters- if I reached that I'd think there would be something wrong since you don't need 10k chapter epics to tell a story. 7k is a nice area to reach for and sometimes exceed.

Now the thing is if I release a chapter, that might mean in 14 days I would release another. But if there's any major holidays during that time or my birthday for example I would write a half day at most. Most likely zero words those days cause me and large family gatherings or dealing with people can be tiring. So if there's a holiday? I'm taking that day off for me.

TLDR; I plan on releasing a chapter about every 14 days at least- with how some chapters are seemingly weekly and I would hope to never write a 10k chapter here, it might be more weekly than fortnightly but with how my life tends to be random and unscheduled weirdness some days, erring on the side of caution is nice. Fourteen day periods help even out the planned 1000 word days with days where 500 needs to be the goal because of scheduling and family stuff. Since today was Halloween here- even though it is the 30th, I'm invoking the rule that I won't write on a holiday.

Cause I've tried before a few times and it just tires me out even more and weakens my writing skills. Also having a break every once in a while is nice.

So tomorrow back on scheduled programming- word count 1100 words. The first bit always comes the hardest for me. Don't know when exactly it will be out but if its not out by the 14th then hit me up.

Cause I can write 7000 words or so easily in 14 days with how my life is currently. So if my life changes at any point, I'll tell you guys and change the schedule accordingly as well.
