Incoming big paragraphs, ah red flags, run away, haha…

Joking aside, I wanted to share some thoughts and a bit of appreciation for all of the readers that have stuck with me so far.

TL;DR - I’m not going to be able to post chapters as often as I have been, sorry.

The long version -

I think I was posting about 3 or 4 chapters in a week, at my peak of writing this novel, however, it’s become a bit of a struggle to finish up some of my more recent chapters and rough drafts.

Reason being, I have been putting off work for over a month now, I’m not making any money and I really need to finish the project I have been working on for a while. It’s kind of an entrepreneur-like business, a passion project of sorts that I think people would really enjoy.

I only put it off because I burnt myself out from working on it too hard and I’ve been dealing with depression for over a month now.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

I had lost all motivation to do anything, but I refused to sit around and cry (too much). I wanted to keep doing something productive and learn from it.

That’s when I started to write this novel.

I'm doing much better now, got past most of my depression and I think things are looking up from here.

I genuinely didn’t expect this many people to enjoy reading my story, since I often doubt myself and my skills.

I really appreciate all of the positive feedback and comments I’ve received so far. You all encouraged me to push myself to write as much as I have.

I’m nearly finished with the next chapter, but there’s no promise it will be released this week.

There’s so much more I want to share with you all about the story and where it’s going from here. Just know that even though my writing may be a bit slow and chaotic, there’s a plan and a purpose for everything I’ve thrown in so far.

Everything other than making some of the character’s cry a bunch. That may have just been me projecting my own sad feelings through the characters during those moments.

There will be more happier moments in the future, but I’m also a huge fan of conflict, so I’m still trying to find a good balance.

Take good care of yourselves and keep on fighting!

There’s a lot more to come, all in good time, I hope to see you all around. <3
