Greetings, denizens of Royal Road!
As you may have noticed if you are on Discord, my sleep schedule has been kind of obliterated to keep up with the needs of my publisher (R.I.P). Editing book 2 (twice), proofreading, giving feedback on the next cover, etc, while writing 4 chapters per week.
So I won’t be charging for the next month on and will be taking a two-week break (be back on Monday 9th). The good news is that you will get chapters for two weeks free when I’m back!
I know, everyone hates waiting for the new chapters of a story. I’ve tried to keep writing and wait for the situation to improve, but I’ve been skirting the edges of burnout for a while. The chapter quality has not been where I want it, and neither is the quality of my sleep (experts say the two things might be correlated).
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
This portion of the story could use some more detailed planning. It’s the main arc of book 4, and I want to make sure I do it right! There is so much to set up and pay off. Threads to plant that will sprout books down the line. I am hoping this break will allow me to nail the landing.
I need to fix my sleep schedule, spend a few days without the anxiety of the next deadline. With the blessing of the Moons, I might also write ahead. Either create a stash to consistently publish chapters earlier in the day, or make some strides to offer more to my higher tier s that I have failed for ages.
If anyone wants to take advantage of the free weeks, I’ll stop payments tomorrow at 2.40 pm EDT (3 hours after the chapters usually go up on RR). Any subscription renewing between that time and September 26th won’t get charged.
Thank you all so much for understanding!
