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 , 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 something 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 , but this has proven far harder than I predicted because of other issues.
So, to not let things get out of control on , the will be on Friday.
For the snoopers that want more details about the other issues, I love you guys, here’s some.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Like all good problem, this one comes in company too. It started this summer 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 me), 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—some 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 appointments and waiting for emails replay. Though, on the good side, I’m finally making some 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 informed when I have more definitive updates!
Thank you all for the patience,
