Howdy guys,

As some of you know, I've been trying to get a little more organization with Patreon. I've started that by having all the chapters in order & sorted on Discord, but there's another thing that I want to tackle next:

Chapter upload timing. I generally upload around 10:10ish on RoyalRoad, so people know when their chapter is coming. However, on patreon, my schedule ranges from like... 8 PM to 2 AM Central time. Frankly, that's pretty dumb and I don't think it's fair to all of you. 

Since I've got to get 50 total backlog chapters for my stories, I think this is a good time to begin scheduled posts. This does mean that 1 chapter will be slightly delayed, but since I've cranked production up by nearly 1.5x to meet my goals, it shouldn't be a problem. 

I'm incredibly busy tomorrow with a big school project (although you can still expect the normal chapter uploads - Steamforged & Eldritch Bestie). After that, I'll be getting a lot more time, especially after this coming Wednesday. 

I don't know the exact time I want to upload chapters, but I'm thinking around 11 AM. If anyone has a preference, feel free to let me know. It shouldn't matter too much in the end. 

Also, get ready for this coming week, everyone. You're due a LOT of chapters... ;)

Oh, sidenote: I am still working on the Morcster chapters - I know they're a bit delayed, but this damn project has been eating all my time and I haven't been able to cook the darn dish (which means I can't describe it properly). I'm hoping to make it tomorrow (or today, I suppose. It's 1 AM). Cheers, guys :D

You have a pretty intense writing schedule. Be careful not to burn yourself out and pay close attention to how you feel about needing to write new chapters. Burnout is insidious and hard to cure once it sets in. It comes on subtly so by the time you realize it's a real problem it may already have done some lasting damage to your creative process and ability to enjoy your craft. If you notice you begin to think of writing as a chore or that there never seems to be enough time in your day then you might want to consider dialing things back a bit. I mean I enjoy new chapters as much as the next guy, but I've seen some really promising new authors forever lose their drive and passion for their work, or worse yet abandon their craft, because they didn't realize they needed to leave some breathing room for when life kicks them in the balls.
