October (Patreon)

Sorry for the lack of updates again, but I have been trying to figure out what country I am moving to after leaving Malta. I will elaborate on that later, but for those who just want to know when uploads will resume, it will be in early October as the title says.

I will keep patreon paused for most of October even when I resume posting, because I think it'd be unfair to you guys to charge you all as soon as I resume posting.

Theoretically, I could resume posting again in September, but I want to make sure I have a proper backlog so I can keep up my posting schedule consistent for a while.

Anyway, to elaborate on where I've been for those who do care: as mentioned, I have been trying to figure out my geographical place of residence now that my Malta residency is expiring, and I had initially intended to move to Japan where a few of my author friends reside. Unfortunately, after staying there for a month, I concluded that not only did I not like Japan enough to want to live there for the foreseeable future, all the hurdles that came with living there especially with the new anti-foreigner government was too much of a hassle for me to deal with.

As such, I decided to move back to my home country of Indonesia. But it's been a lot to deal-- leaving Malta, testing Japan out for a month, bringing my belongings with me to Indonesia, etc. And also, I ended up getting a new girlfriend too now, which has also taken up a bit of my time. But she is great and she has been helping me with finding an apartment to move into, which I will only be fully moved into next month.

There are still a lot of things I have to do like consult tax lawyers and incorporate a company here, but I will be able to start writing again next month in September as I said earlier.

I'm not going to lie and say I can't start writing again literally right now, but I don't feel like chapters will be up to the standard which I want them to be at, especially since I have been thinking a lot about Salvos and the direction I want to take her story in, and I have a lot planned that I want to do with it. I'm also really worried about falling off from my schedule again because I honestly feel really bad about how inconsistent I have been in my writing for a while.

Anyway, that's my current update for now. I am not sure whether I'd go straight back into 5 chapters a week when I return, or ease into it with 3 chapters a week first. I will figure that out next month.
