I am sorry. I am sorry everyone. I will be completely transparent towards everyone. I have quite the—volatile and depressive personality—a single mistake and everything seems to crumble. What do I mean by this? Well, for instance. I posted today's chapter which was poorly written. I got plenty of constructive criticism, which is fair enough. However, it got me thinking. 'Was this what I wanted?' Not really. I thought about it so much that I almost made one of these announcements to say the novel was going into a two-week hiatus.
The hiatus would function to rewrite the last chapter and 6 chapters ahead, to fix any glaring issues as well as to avoid mistakes. But ultimately I thought I was overreacting (thankfully) so, the novel won't be going in hiatus. That's good, it keeps me from going overstressed from writing. Too much pressure.
Anyways, that won't be happening so, there is no need to worry about it. It brings us to the question of. What's the point of this apology?
Well, well, well. It is a rather hard one. First of all, I would like to apologize for writing such trash as last chapter, I don't care if you guys thought it was good or not, it's trash in my eyes. Anyways, I have already somewhat addressed the issue by fixing major issues with the chapter by adding a few paragraphs as well as rewriting a few, so hopefully, it won't be as... bad. So, that's done.
What else do I want to mention? It plagues me to say this—I will no longer adhere to a schedule of every two days. It's stressful, and honestly, I don't want to keep writing such atrocities such as last chapter. I will just post whenever I feel confident about it, rather than just posting something that is half-baked. It's better for me, it's better for everyone else. I can't keep going to sleep at 3 am just for the sake of editing and writing chapters in sheer deadline pressure. So, it was needed change.
I am surprised by the overwhelming support this novel has received. I am thankful to every single one of you that has decided to read through this, um... adventure of questionable quality. It brings a smile to my face seeing its consistent growth and support, which is one of the major reasons for this apology. If you guys care enough to give constructive criticism of telling to do better. I will care enough to correct and try to amend my mistakes/fix them. I am not one of those people that would say. 'Even if there was a single person reading, I would still try to do my best.' I wouldn't lie to myself like this, I know I wouldn't. But you guys deserve better, that is why i am making this announcement. Thank you, everyone.
