    Ladies and gentlemen... it's finally back.

    The preparations are complete and the years long hiatus has been lifted. It's finally time to put The Masks We Wear back into the story rotation. I resolved to start this story up again for the new year and that's exactly what I aim to do starting with this new chapter.

    Still have some motivation and inspiration left to keep writing, but...

    It's been shifted over to another story for the time being—specifically, Sparkle. I've been thinking about that particular cliffhanger a lot lately, and I figured it was about time I got back to it. I'm about 1,800+ words into the final chapter of Episode VII and hope to be done by next week. I do have an IRL job so we'll have to see, but here's hoping.

    New chapter of Survivor's Guide releasing tomorrow morning.

    Just what it says on the tin. Running out of steam a bit so this might be the last one for while, but again, we'll see. No guarantees. Never any guarantees.

    Except for this.

    This next chapter release is a guarantee.

    I'll even give you a time frame.

    Chapter will be out around 8:00am MST or 3pm UTC.

Regarding updates on all of my stories... · 2:50am May 24th, 2018

Right now I'm mainly focus on updating The Ties that Bind as I have all this time, but, barring my weekends, I more or less only have one time slot each day to write my stories.

So I ask you all as readers, should I continue to update TTtB everyday like I have been and the rest of the stories whenever I can, or focus on a more stable cycle by writing a different chapter for each story everyday?

EDIT: The more I think about it, the better I think it is to just do the latter, but I still wanna know what you guys think.

Dear author that should be your choice
Do as your creativity said, not always will bring you the chapters for the same history

Quantity doesn't go over quality, so you should write what you want, when you want, when you feel like it

I think that's what I'll do, though I can assure you the quality won't suffer either way.

I agree that you should do whatever makes you most fulfilled.

From my standpoint as a member of the audience, there is something extra special about getting involved in a story that updates frequently. When I am avidly reading a story that updates every day or three, I look forward to refreshing my feed that much more. Seeing a new chapter of a story I am following puts a smile on my face, and I like that dopamine hit to happen as often as it can. (Me addicted? Naw).

Some authors generate this effect by writing chapters in arcs over a longer period and then releasing the arc over a short period of time. I did that with an entire novel length story, just to replicate the feeling I enjoy in the readers who were following it. In retrospect, I'm not sure it was the best decision.

Again, please do whatever gives you the most fulfillment. Your writing is a gift to the community, and I and your fans very much appreciate it.
