    Interesting times

    It'd be nice if things went smoothly for just a few months. I don't things have been great for me for a longtime now. I'd had hope this year was my year. It is what it is. Just need to buckle down and figure it out.

    Update on Rules stuff.

    Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a nice day today. I wanted to start by saying just how sorry I am for missing my previous deadline. The last few weeks have been pretty busy for me, and I was aiming to upload chapter 8 right before I left on vacation. As you can see, that didn't happen, but I was able to finish up and get it out, albeit a week later then I intended. I want to promise

    Long time, no see...

    Hey y'all. Just writing this to reassure everyone that Rules for Bodyguards isn't dead and apologize for how long this chapter had taken. Inspiration has been scarce these last months, and I've been pretty unhappy with what I've written till recently. As it stands right now I've got a little over 3000 words in the newest chapter, mostly written in the past week. Seeing how I try very hard not to

    ...Huh

    So I was hanging out in a discord today with a couple of friends (namely Eltirions, The Great Scribbly One, and Big Saij) talking about our stories and just chilling.

    I know exactly what I want to write and have no idea how to put it into words.

I finally published Chapter 6 · 6:05pm Mar 8th, 2021

So, you know how in a previous blog post I said I would be updating Rules for Bodyguards every week? What I actually meant was that I would not be updating every week! Gotcha!


.....


Seriously, though, between IRL stuff and the multiple rewrites I did, it took longer than I would like to get it to publication. One of my early drafts was almost 10,000 words long and didn't move the story along nearly as much. You can see bits of it in the teaser blog post I made previously. I plan to make another blog post talking about the editing and rewriting process I went through with this chapter, if only to remind myself so I don't repeat those mistakes. In the meantime, I would love some feedback about the story as a whole and chapter 6 in particular. It was a lot of fun to come up with the choreography and narrate the fight, but it was also extremely time consuming. I can see why a lot of stories with this style of very personal fight scenes end up being one-shots. That's not going to dissuade me, though!

Have a wonderful day!
