So, I went to write and finish chapter 92 - which is the latest Patreon chapter - only to see that once again, what a surprise, all of the content had magically disappeared. About 1,500 words just gone.
Now we all know I've been lacking motivation for a few months now. Nothing too serious, still love the story, excited for what I have planned, but I just haven't had much of a drive to write in general. This is a hobby for , I fuckin' detested it when I made it my job and that's most of the reason I put SIS in the big ol' super hiatus, so it will stay a hobby and I won't force it. It happens, I expect to bounce back eventually.
Losing the last chapter at 1,000 words fuckin' sucked. I soldiered through and ignored it, really, assuming the error was on my end. This ti? Seeing the words just gone and the draft insisting I had last edited it on the 11th of March 2024, instantly make think 'Fuck this shit. I am done. I quit.'. Imdiately after that I cald down and had a little ltdown to Kanadaj (he and I are friends IRL. He built my PC lol. And if you don't know who he is, he's the senior developer and one of the owners of RR).
If you co across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
We had a bit of a back and forth and despite it being the weekend, he was nice enough to fix the issue, which turned out to be that the autosave feature of Author Premium hasn't been working for, like, a month. I rely exclusively on that, hence why this chapter and the last one went missing. It also ans all of my updated notes for those chapters haven't saved, but I can fix that easily enough. It's just two chapters.
Rewriting a whole chapter from scratch when my lacking motivation just got sledgehamred? That'll take more ti. I an, I'll fuckin' try, but don't expect a miracle like pumping it out in a day or two.
Just wanted to keep you all updated.
I'll delete this and move it to the author note of the next chapter when I post it.
Oh, and as a reminder, I post chapter progress updates in my Discord server if you ain't already in there. You can find a link in the footnote of any chapter.
Love ya guys.
