I'm Returning to Writing (Patreon)

Hey everybody. I know that most of you have likely moved on after waiting for literal years between my posts. I can't blame any of you for having resentment or for despising how I've handled the story in general. I want you all to know I'm sorry for how I lacked the will, determination, or general emotional stability to manage my writing.

It's been an up and down journey for me over the years. I've always wanted to just grind, grind, and grind, yet I always end up burning out. Usually that isn't form the writing but is from engaging with the audience. It's a particularly soft point of mine.

However, there is good news among the bad. Despite that burnout, the allure of writing never left me, and to my surprise, I still enjoy it to this day. Other, perhaps even better news: I have many chapters piled up. I've continued writing this entire time, and I never stopped honing the craft. I love writing. Managing social media? Eh, not so much.

Moving forward, I'll participate less in the comments than I have in the past. I still love you guys, and you're the best fans anyone could ask for. However, the negative comments have an outsized effect on my mentality. At this point it's either isolate myself from them or quit writing.

I hope you all understand, and even more importantly, I hope I don't include to many glaring plotholes. Send me a personal message if there's a big issue and I'll adress it. Otherwise, c'est la vie. Regardless of my media management, I've got enough material amassed for months and months of consistent posts.

So at the very least, I have something to offer during my return. Speaking along more specific lines, I'll be posting every day for the next 21 days. After that, I'll post three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It's not the same volume as I've pumped out before, but it's a hell of a lot more manageable than what I've been able to maintain.

I'll also be aiming to edit and publish my books overtime. I'll probably have the next one ready for publishing in the next three months. I aim to improve my work as much as the last full edit did, so wish me luck in that. I will need it, and I'll let you guys know if I can't write and edit the book at the same time.

Finally, thank you all for everything you've all done. The positive comments, messages, and general desire to continue reading my work, it's amazing. Everytime I see it, it's like a gazing at a dark sky and seeing a full moon. To that end, I wish I was programmed to parse through the negativity so that I could stay connected to you all.

I really can't. I've tried, but the human mind isn't built to retain negativity from dozens of people every day. It remembers the harsh, grating perspectives far more than the lenient and kind ones. Eventually, that negativity piles up and weighs me down.

Anywhom, I'm going to get the chapter ready for posting. Good luck with everything guys.
