Life gets busy. Sometimes, I miss my self-imposed deadlines. I'm not always happy with how chapters turn out. In fact, this week I've been so dissatisfied with my final chapter of book two that I scrapped it entirely and started over. I want to do the end of this arc justice, and the pages I've written so far are pretty garbage. As much as I enjoy the thrill of writing and posting the story in its raw state, I have to balance that against the overall health and quality of the big picture narrative.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Ideally, I'd put out quality chapters on time, every time, but that doesn't always happen since I'm in a rush to crank out new chapters. I'm not even close to a full-time author, although I'd love to be able to tell stories for a living. As much as I enjoy writing, this project is just for fun. I will definitely write the entire story that's rattling around in my mind -- one million words or bust! -- but it's not even a tertiary priority, trailing family, work, church, etc. I do feel bad about late updates, however. What are your thoughts?
