Weekly Update #109

Blegh. This has not been a great week for me. At least, not when it comes to my schedule. Every chapter was late, but not more than an hour late, so I won't beat myself up too much for that. I think I've discovered the true main problem, though.

You see, I am absolute shit at keeping a consistent sleeping schedule. I'll usually change my schedule every few days, sometimes lasting a whole week or so before changing. One day I'll sleep from 9pm-5am. Three days later I'll be sleeping from 11am-4pm. Another few days later and it might be 5pm-2am. It changes constantly despite trying to stay on a schedule similar to where I'm sleeping from like 11pm-5am.

Somehow, for the past few weeks, I've managed to force myself to stay on a normal sleep schedule. This is the longest I've managed to keep it going for. But the longer I try, the harder it gets, resulting in getting even more tired every morning when I wake up since I just want to sleep in even more to screw up my schedule. The sleepier I am, the harder it is for me to write on top of some of the other problems I've had lately.

All in all, it's very silly. I'm tempted at this point to just let my sleep schedule get fucked up since that seems to be the most natural thing for me and I'd probably be able to go back to releasing chapters on time properly if I just let it happen.

That aside, I also made a mistake this morning. Since there were still some ants on my desk (it was covered in them yesterday morning), I decided to drink all of my morning Ovaltine drink out in the kitchen instead of bringing it back to my computer. Didn't want ants getting on my cup or going into it or anything. Now, I'm also kind of lactose intolerant. There were 24 ounces of milk there. I drank it pretty fast since I wanted to get back to my computer.

Apparently, it is a very, very bad idea for me to drink that much dairy in such a limited amount of time, because I've felt horrible ever since drinking that (at least, I did when I wrote this at 10am, I feel fine now that it's past 3pm - I don't know why it takes me so long to do these updates, I just get distracted so easily when doing these).

Combine that with being exhausted and you have why TTE's chapter today took me longer to write in general while still somehow coming up short. God, it was so disappointing to be writing for 4 hours, thinking, "yeah this should definitely be long enough, time to check," and then finding out that it was shorter than the average.

Anyways, memes 'nd things:

15 hours, 16,112 words. So, more hours but fewer words. Boo.

The True Endgame

Despite the difficulty in writing this latest chapter and it being short, I'm happy with it. I can't say what I really want to say about it because it could be considered a spoiler, but I will say - damn it, no matter how I phrase it, it creates a massive implication-spoiler. I guess I'll just have to shut myself up and not say anything.

Ero Dungeon Online

Alright. Next chapter is wrapping up this first little scene and then we'll move onto some other stuff. That aside, I think this has been a pretty good start to the second volume so far.

The Queen's Hound

The worst thing about these updates is wanting to talk about the latest chapters, but that would be spoilers for everybody who isn't pledged to the $10 tier, and blah. Regardless, though, this next chapter will be more or less revealing the plot of this new volume now that the more slice-of-life-y stuff is done with.

Lazy Dragon Queen

That was probably one of the best chapters in a while, I think. Definitely the best one of the week as far as quality goes, too, I would say. It foreshadowed stuff, had cute moments, was meta, and more. I planned on making battle/building progress with it, but then I let the fluff overwhelm me and I couldn't have been happier that I allowed it to happen.

CORE

This latest chapter was the first time I ever managed to induce anxiety in myself. I've gotten myself emotional over my own chapters before, but I've never made myself nervous for what might happen to a character of mine before.

In Closing

I'm hoping to break this new trend of posting stories a bit late next week, but no promises. I'm still posting them within an hour of the scheduled time, so I don't want to put too much pressure on myself to rush the chapters and not have them be satisfactory. I will try my best, though.

Anyways, that's all for now. Thank you for your continued support and please look forward to next week's chapters!
