Sorry Guys...
Added 2024-03-11 02:57:28 +0000 UTCHello my dear supporters!
I come with news...with a bit of a silver lining I suppose.
Well, as you may or may not know, I have been writing almost continously for more than 5 months now. In that period, I have written almost 250k words (wow that is a lot of words) and I have become increasingly astonished, both at my own consistency and at the support you guys have provided to me and for that, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
Now, onto the main event, effective immediately (actually I'll do it after this is posted), I will be pausing billing for the rest of this month and also hitting the pause button on the daily story writing.
I might continue writing Technomancer whenever I get the fancy or might try my hand in another fandom or even a crossover, who knows ? I don't.
Now, you might ask why? (Although I have the sneaking suspicion that most of you won't)
-----LONG UNNEEDED (slightly) STORY-------
Why? That's a long story. One that I'll tell you guys now.
You see, I follow a pretty rigorous schedule daily.
My day begins around 4 in the morning. Between the hours of 4.30 and 6.30, I write atleast 2k words and leave it for editing. After that, I go to the gym for my workout and come back around 8.
By 8.30, I am all freshened up and ready for the day. By 9, I am done editing and posting the chapter on both Patreon and the plethora of websites I publish my stuff on.
I do a little light reading before office but I am at my day job by 10.
A little background, I suppose. I work in a software company as an Assistant Software Developer (Fancy title low pay). If you guys have been following any news about the tech sector, you know what a bloodbath it has been the past year so I am pretty grateful for the job so I make sure that I work had at both the learning part and the doing part of the job.
After an entire day of me trying to kickstart my brain into giving me the efficiency it had in my school days, I am back at my accomodations aroud 7.30 (Lunch and Dinner both at office itself).
Despite my brain begging me not to, I still end up studying for a bit in the evening (1 hour tops) and spend the rest working on my personal projects, sometimes talking with my mom but most of the time it's work.
And then, I go to sleep at 9.30 PM like a grandma.
You see, this has been my schedule for about 4 months now and while it has given me astonishing gains, I don't think I am built for this. I realised that only after I had to stop everything and rush home for an emergency a few days back. It took an actual family emergency for me to realise how tired I felt all the time.
So, I decided to dial it back down.
I will still write (It's the thing I look forward to the most in my day) but I don't know what I will write about. So, stay tuned for that.
I guess, you'll see in the upcoming days about that but one thing is for sure, I learned a LOT writing this story and it will always hold a very special place in my heart.
Hopefully, I have an update soon for you guys!
Until then, see you and LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!
Regards,
Idle Muse
