Hi, I just wanted to give a little updated about what’s going on behind the scenes in my life (and why I’ve been publishing less). I’ve said more on Patreon, but even there I’ve not shared much lately. I wanted more definite solutions/progress before making a post and telling people about my personal stuff. (I still plan on doing that in the future, but I wanted to say sothing to not leave y’all in the dark).
Anyway, for the short version: today there won’t be a chapter. About a month ago I fell really sick and spent a week unable to write, and stayed longer with brain-fog. I didn’t want to put out less chapters overall, so I kept publishing on RR, thinking I could later catch up on Patreon, but this has proven far harder than I predicted because of other issues.
So, to not let things get out of control on Patreon, the next chapter will be on Friday.
For the snoopers that want more details about the other issues, I love you guys, here’s so.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Like all good problem, this one cos in company too. It started this sumr when I was editing book 2, which took way longer than anticipated (about 180-200 hours, on top of publishing weekly). Like everyone expected (except ), I was quite burnout by the end of it. No one thinks their body or mind to betray them until it happens. That was why I decided to take a pause at the end of August since I also felt the quality of my chapters was being affected.
When I stopped to rest and think, many other problems I had been ignoring cropped up on top of the burnout. I won’t go into details right now, but in the last couple months I’ve seen half a dozen between psychologists and psychiatrists to start addressing them. And I’ve collected diagnosis like Pokémon cards—so I liked more than the others.
The overall experience has been frustratingly slow for my impatient mind, and quite tiring. I really hate calling strangers to take appointnts and waiting for emails replay. Though, on the good side, I’m finally making so progress. I can’t put a date in on it yet—I’m nowhere near done—but I aim to gradually go back writing more in the next months.
So, that’s about it. I will keep you inford when I have more definitive updates!
To avoid any doomsayers in the comnts: No, I’m going to quit writing Elydes no matter what happens. The only question is how fast I can go back to writing full ti.
Thank you all for the patience,
Drew
