Hey all!I was trying to power through until the end of August, but my head isn't there and I don't think I can do it and deliver good chapters.We already saw that this week where TWO of the chapters were a little undercooked, and still needed more editing. I completely punted, that's on me. I've gone back and fixed Wednesday's chapter (Patreon NOT updated yet), and I'll be fixing Friday's chapter later tonight.I've also had a hell of a time with writing and my head this week. Usually on Friday I'm trying to polish off the third chapter of the week - I'm not even done with ONE right now. So admin week's needed for me to mentally screw my head on, settle down, relax, and manage to get back in the groove writing stuff.This arc's been foreshadowed and planned for a long, LONG time, I don't want to punt the execution because my head's in a bad spot. Sorry all. I was trying to get admin week back to a super predictable 'end of month' schedule, and I just didn't manage it. I take full responsibility for the poor chapters that came out, I will be fixing and editing them, silently updating them (Let's be honest - the two placeholder classes don't matter enough to the greater narrative to ping everyone once I've finished them up), and continuing on, hopefully with better editing. I'm recruiting a few more beta readers to help bonk me on stuff like this before it makes it live, and hopefully we won't have a repeat.Thank you all for understanding, and I'm sorry.Cheers!Selkie

No worries, take the time to rest. I've been there almost from the start and I can wait if it means you can cook at your best! Rest well

Take a month off, wish you a good rest!

It's okay. Get into a better headspace. At least this week did not end in a gigantic cliffhanger. Thank you for the heads up.

Take your time, so long the world does not go fully down the drain, we have the time

Honestly, it’s fine. A few errors in the Patreon chapters is not only acceptable, for most other authors it’s expected. Sure you have a higher quality than 99% of RoyalRoad / Patreon authors, but it’s no reason to beat yourself up over a few typos and a couple of missed editing tags. For almost every other author I’m subscribed to on Patreon, Patreon readers *are* the beta readers, they’re the ones with the earliest access, before the chapters go free and public-facing. As for taking your admin week earlier than expected, we have told you countless times before that it’s fine. Take the rest you need, when you need it, to keep up your motivation and level of quality.

Take as much time as you need, rest is definitely an important part of any writing process

As others said before me: Take as much time as you need. And have a good time!

Take your time, I am currently trying to power through some writer's block myself. Damn brain doesn't want to play nice right now...

Don't be afraid to take a longer break. With a single weeks break I have a hard time believeing that you actually have time to rest. It is not a break if you have to work through it to keep up the release pace.

much rather have you make your top tier chapters than have them a week earlier and I’m the type that forgets about admin week after it’s done anyway :)
