State of the Author - September 2019 · 12:13am Oct 19th, 2019
So you may notice this blog comes over halfway through the month, for a retrospect of last month.
There is a reason for that. Call it about 160 working hours in the month so far, and then a professional exam that I had to study for and write in between that.
In the same gist, I had to work 60 extra hours OT last month often on last-minute notice that I wasn't planning, with no time off. So what was planned 40k words was 7400 words on the dot. I wanted to write an entry for the Sunset Shimmer contest, and had three days off near the end of the contest that I planned to write. Without fail, I ended up working overtime all 3 of those days, and not really of my own choice.
I should hopefully have some time off hear in the next couple of weeks to get back on track and try writing 40k this month. I have most of the next chapter of Phantasmare finished. I also have a Pinkie Pie story idea I've talked about a little bit on Discord that I'm trying to put together still.
Anyways...
August Written Word Count (unpublished): 7,400
