So, as you all know, I keep backlogs for my stories. Some of you have heard already, but I had a crash on my computer that corrupted most of my backlogs about three months ago. Since then, I've been writing nonstop to first keep my promises to all of you, and to build up my backlogs again.
It's because of this that Going Native is only two weeks ahead and Darth Hiki stopped updating because I chose to focus on my two more established stories. Eventually, Be a Dragon replaced it because I needed something to blow off steam and it ended up becoming its own story because rewriting things is both not fun, and it's painfully slow.
Recently, I've gone over the past couple of chapters that I've written for some of my stories and I can see the drop in quality. It's just good enough for me to publish here and move on rather than the quality that I strive for or the quality that you're paying for.
A big part of it is that I've been writing at every opportunity for about three months. Which was fine because I kept bouncing between projects so I never really felt the burnout build up. However, since the lockdown because of the pandemic, writing is pretty much all I've done, and the burnout shows. I'm just forcing my way through scenes to get to back where I was, and what I'm writing is 'good enough' when I want it to be great.
So, what's the point of all of this?
Since you're all technically my bosses, I'm asking permission to take a small break from the 1st of May to the 8th, so about a week. This would mean that there would be no update in that time period, but they'll resume right after on the previous schedule.
Sorry about having to ask this, but I figured it would be better to ask now than end up dropping a story because of writer's block.
