I've noticed that my self-imposed weekly update schedule has turned out to be a little bit faster than my natural writing pace, which has started to affect the quality of my work in the last few chapters. So I'm going to take a couple of weeks off from posting new chapters in order to get the next story arc of each of my fics, just to make sure I don't write myself into a corner somewhere along the line.
At this point my plan is to start posting weekly updates again on the 25th. By that point I should have a couple of chapters in reserve, which means I'll have a couple of weeks to polish new chapters and catch any problems they may have before I actually post them.

I'm sure that most of the other readers would agree with me when I say that quality is worth waiting for. I for one would far rather a well-written story in slow installments than a fast-released one that isn't quite as good.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your stories with us.
ZZ here, not bothering with making a profile on yet another website if I can avoid it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with hollow. The awesomeness of your stories are worth even a month long wait between chapters.
Look forward to the next update. (hopefully its on 'time braid' first) =)
So, uh, what happened to resuming weekly updates on the 25th? Just wondering here. And especially looking forward to the next installment of Time Braid.
ReplyDeleteYour legions of fans are crying out for MOAR!
ReplyDeleteJust thought you might want to know.
Was this the 25th of September, or the 25th of Never? Just curious because well empty promises and all that. It'd be a shame for you to become one of those Authors who go on a break from writing or posting and then wind up never coming back from it. It was a bad idea in my opinion. Breaking a habit makes it so much harder to go back to doing it. If you don't write every day and post as you regularly did, then you're going to find it hard to come back to writing every day or posting with any sense of regularity. It's a real shame. I'm so completely addicted to time braid and you left it at such a cliff hanging point, but honestly, its nearly a month past when you claimed to come back and well it's hard to decide not to throw my self off that hanging cliff and move on. I mean...too long between updates and I just loose interest. I've seen so many stories pop up in my inbox with update alerts after having not been updated in many months, sometimes a year or more. I open it up and skim through a few chapters of the story to try and remember what it was about, but for some reason I can never figure out why I marked those stories for alert. I don't know if it's subconcious or simply having a different taste in stories over time, but I just can't go back to a story that hasn't been updated in so long and still remember why I enjoyed it. I hope yours don't wind up this way.
ReplyDeleteJust be patient folks, he said the twenty fifth, if he was going on a break i douubt it was for only two weeks. give him till the 25th of this month before you start to freak
ReplyDeleteUsually when it's the first half of a month and a person makes a reference to the 25th without clarifying a month, they mean it to be the current month. Since he posted this on the 14th of September, NOT the 14th of October. So it's pretty self-explanatory that when he says The 25th he means the next 25th, September 25th, the same month he posted the message. It's a bad sign when the writer has nearly passed his stated time by a month.
ReplyDeleteSo much for that theory.
ReplyDeleteAccording to his ffnet account at least, he had 7k words of Indomitable as of the 22nd. Who knows when it'll get posted, though.
