Do what you feel is necessary. I had only just discovered the story and (although I am a slow reader) I am enjoying what I am seeing. Admittedly I only read the first and second chapter, but I do have interest in what I had read.

Thank you and I appreciate your understanding. <3

It’s really easy for me to understand it. I prefer not to share my stories until I have a rough draft done for each chapter. Afterwards, I just post them weekly once the proofreading and corrections are made. Sure my writing skills are mostly garbage, but that’s what practice is for.

I want to improve so I can work on a major project that I had come up with years ago. It has been so long since the idea came to mind, but it has yet to leave my thoughts. So clearly it must be a great idea if it sticks around for so long… that or I just have great interest in a series like it.

But anyway, keep up the great work and try not to overwhelm yourself with excess. Breaks are very important.

I'll still be here for whatever you do, even if its not long distance 2

While that is unfortunate, I can't wait to see the full thing. I stopped reading so I could wait and not lose track between chapters like I was.

Best of luck!

Hey, bud, I wish you luck on the novel. I really hope you stick with it! There were a lot of fantasy world building concepts I really enjoyed in that series. I followed for a while, but then fell off the series just because I fell out of the habit of reading recreationaly in general.

Have you ever heard of NaNoWriMo? It's a writing challenge that takes place during the month of November where you try to get 50,000 words towards a novel over the course of the month. I've heard about it from a writing podcast, apparently the focus is on getting the words and story down and leaving the editing process for later.

I'm not really a writer myself, but I'm pretty sure approaching a large project like a novel is pretty overwhelming, so maybe approaching it from that direction may help somewhat? Sorry for the unsolicited advice, if you could call it that. I don't know anything about your writing process or how you approach things like that, but I just wanted to throw something potentially helpful out there anyway.

Either way, best of luck on the novel! I'm rooting for you

I know of NaNoWriMo, a bunch of friends back in college would do it. I think I have done the 50k words in month without the event happening a few times now. Writing tends to be my procrastination activity, so it isn't super hard for me to end up writing a lot. My problem tends to be writing too much and not getting the work I am supposed to be doing done. X3

Ooh, I'd been checking periodically to see when my day might next be made by a certain author gracing us with a certain duo's antics. Glad I spotted this entry.

...Yep. The struggle is real. I had a friend who purported only to read completed works because of a fear of being left hanging. I found myself aghast when I learned this and proceeded to administer a scolding for it (which didn't change the behavior but it made me feel better). Alas, I suppose I see where it comes from. I've personally always liked the process of reading and writing not-quite-in-real-time but there are also moments it can feel like shouting into the void as an author. I can definitely relate to a reluctance to have that feeling. Someone else I know considers trying to judge one's own works via the statistics available on each post to be an absolutely psychosis-inducing task. I think it rings pretty true.

Now, I have extremely transparent motivations for saying this (TWO of them, to be precise. They are also fairly TALL motivations, who may or may not be heartwarmingly cute and occasionally a little bratty), but do let let me know if you need a spare set of eyes to look things over, or a spare set of (proverbial) ears to aid in thinking-out-loud type exercises, assuming that's part of your process.

Regardless, all the very best. You'll probably see me necroposting on some of your other stuff meanwhile. Cheers.

Thanks for the appreciation. <3

I've gotten through a few more chapters since the post went up so I'm slowly making some good progress. So hopefully it won't be too long till kitties graces my FA.

And I'm not against early readers. If you are interested hit me up on telegram. A link to it is posted on my FA profile.
