Weekly Update - 184 (Patreon)

I find myself in that difficult position again. That one where I need to make a tough decision.

All weekend long I sat on this page, trying to figure out if I had the dialogue just right. And while I think what I've written for this moment in the story is passable, I'm still unhappy with it.

It's a page that's meant to plug a gap between two important story moments, while also being an important story moment itself. Almost like... every page, really... huh. It's almost like writing is actually kinda hard.

So, do I force myself to finish this page this week by Wednesday, even if it might fall short of my expectations or fail to accomplish what I was hoping it would accomplish? Or do I instead delay it by a week, hoping that the mythological PERFECT WORDS will come to me in the next 9 days and I'll blow everyone away with them next week?

When is good enough really good enough?

I'm certainly not the best person to judge my own writing. That's up for all of you to decide. So maybe it's better for me to just finish it, hope it's good enough, and move on. This page certainly isn't the most important page in this story, and much, much better moments are planned for the future, so I kinda want to just get to those sooner rather than later. I've already delayed too much this year.

Comic this week? Sure, why not. I'm not happy about it, but maybe it's really okay and I'm just being too hard on myself.

Playing: Rimworld. Because Baldur's Gate 3 gives me decision paralysis and No Man's Sky has WAY TOO MUCH to do and I have a more or less functioning 500+ mod list for Rimworld that makes it my perfect game.

Volume #1: Editing is done, corrections are made, we've survived editing pass #2, so we've now been sent over to a layout person! I'll admit, even though Fenris Publishing is a small company, they've got a great team of professionals! I'm kind of fascinated by this whole process, ngl. Hopefully you all find it interesting as well!
