Posting update - New chapter out tomorrow
Added 2024-06-22 21:45:25 +0000 UTCGood evening all you wonderful people.
To summarise the below rant, Chapter 13 of "Sister-in-law comes to stay" will be out tomorrow. I'm hoping to have it uploaded early in the day in an attempt to make up for it being late.
I've been struggling to fit my writing in around my parents demands that I help out in the shop. Business is always hectic in the summer, so they do need extra hands, but it means I'm in there most days, despite me trying to explain that I have an "online job" to do.
It's kinda my own fault for messing up my words and describing it as something I can do as and when I have time, so my dad thinks that means I choose how much, or little, work I do, therefore I can work all hours in the damn shop. I don't know how to tell him this is something I need a lot of time for without raising suspicions.
I'm tired. Like every day this week I've barely had 6 hours sleep (us girlies really need 9+). I'm seriously considering if I could make up some excuse to move back to uni early. i could rent a room for a couple months and then have the time to work on my stories.
I don't even have a desk at home. I didn't realise how much harder it is to sit up in my bed to try and write + edit everything. If I stay I'm going to buy one, and a decent chair, before I'm crippled.
That leads us to Chapter 13. It is about two thirds written and edited, but I just can't focus anymore tonight to finish it off. I'm also not releasing it as a short chapter, because I want to only put the best content I can out there. I'm hoping to finish it off tomorrow morning, so like 13 hours or less from now for those setting their watches by my release schedule. (Don't do that, you'll never be on time again).
I am sorry for those that have read all the way through this rant. Please don't take this as me complaining about writing, I really hope it doesn't come off like that because I enjoy it so much, and I can't express just how much I appreciate each one of you for all the love and support you have given me so far.
I think I'm just a little too tired and emotional today. A good night's sleep should hep, but the venting has been very cathartic.
For those still reading, please know I love you all 😊
