Chapter 253 Redrock Residence

Author's note:

Hey all!

I got it done... Somehow. Yesterday was way too hot and I couldn't write at all. My brain was pure mush. I'm gonna consider the Sunday/Monday upload flexible for the time being. I want to hit Sunday but if it's Monday, that's fine.

I made a mistake the last two chapters. Redrock's Class was [Grand Overseer] and the other target was an [Organizer]. I had called the latter [Overseer]. It's fixed now so don't get confused with this chapter.

Chapter 252 Martha

Author's note:

Hey all, here it is.

Sorry about the delay. Yesterday I couldn't get any writing done in the heat. I managed like 3k words in the morning but none of that was Owl, so... I'm gonna focus on writing another chapter of Owl tomorrow so you'll get the next one on time. 

I'm leaving for a friend's housewarming party in a few minutes so there won't be any more writing today. The thing I'm working on might not be done by the end of the month but I'll definitely p...

Chapter 251 Documents

Author's note:

Here's today's chapter!

It's getting warm again this week. I hope it's the last of the heatwaves. 30°C+ just isn't fun. That meant I wasn't really productive yesterday. At least I was stuck on one scene anyway and had to take a bit of distance to figure it out.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Chapter 250 Structure

Author's note:

Hey all, here it is!

Once again apologies for the delay. I hope the quality holds up since I wrote this in my breaks. I think it should be decent? I intentionally didn't schedule any RR chapters this week just in case I miss another post. If that happens, they won't get a chapter as well. I hope to be done before the end of the month. It's at least forming good habits.

Announcement - No Owl today, apologies

Hey, everybody.

It's time for a not-your-favourite-post. As mentioned, I was out of town for the weekend. I brought my laptop in hopes of getting some writing done and getting today's chapter ready. I did one of those. I have a total of zero words written for the next owl chapter. My brain decided it was time to write something else. I wasn't even able to stop when I came back home earlier today.

If you want to know what I started to work on, you'll have to wait a bit more. I coul...

Chapter 249 Wine Cellar

Author's note:

Hey there!

It's one time, for once! Some of you might remember when I was posting around an hour from the RR release. Today, I managed to do it once again. I simply had to write the chapter yesterday.

There might be some slightly messy wordings in this one because of the heat... Just point them out. Luckily, it's cooled down a bit thanks to some clouds and rain. I'll get some work done on Sunday's chapter before I leave in a few hours.

Anyway, enjoy the ...

Chapter 248 Reunited

Author's note:

Hey all!

I got another one for you! It's been very warm the last few days and it's supposed to peak tomorrow but I somehow managed to get it done. I even wrote like 1500 words of the rewrite. I gotta get some progress on the next one today since I'm gonna be out of town over the weekend. I hope to finish Sunday's chapter by Friday, or at least write it half-way so I won't be too pressed on time.

On another note, I want the new Pokemon games. Now! They look ama...

Chapter 247 The Capital

Author's note:

Hey there!

First of all, Cliffhanger warning! Since the next chapter is most likely on Wednesday, read at your own risk. I could've gone for the next scene as well but that one is very likely to be at least 1k words, if not twice that and this chapter already has over 2k words. I also wouldn't have been able to get it out today as I promised.

Anyway, here it is! I hope you'll enjoy!

Cheers!

Chapter 246 Cliffall

Author's note:

Hey there!

I got another one for you and it's pretty early today. Well, compared to what it's been recently, at least. I plan on getting the next one done tomorrow and hopefully pulling the Sunday chapter one day ahead. That'll make sure everyone can read it this month and give me a nice three days to get back to the rewrite.

This is also the last Alex PoV chapter, for the time being. Things happened that I wasn't planning on but that's how every chapter goes....

Chapter 245 Trade Caravan

Author's note:

Hey all!

I got another one for you! And oh boy, this is a chonker! Almost 3700 words, which is why I'm counting it as two chapters. Once the lower tiers reach here, the next post will be a break for them, same for RR. I kinda just kept going and couldn't find a good cutoff before 3100 words in so I added a little bit at the end to make it worth two.

There's one more for Alex, I think? I hope? Might be another chonker... It's fun to write her adventure. Next ti...

Chapter 244 Trade Town

And here's another one!

I regularly have these little slumps. I think it was worse this time because of that 15k words week or however much that was. The best solution: side PoV. Only, I already planned this particular one so I didn't want to write a Lord Ekos PoV chapter right before.

On another note, this Alex side-story is going to be a little longer. I hope I can get it done in 3 chapters at most. I don't know what exactly is going to happen but there are a few things a more g...

Chapter 243 Lord Ekos

Author's note:

Hey all!

Here it is. This chapter was still a little troublesome to get right. I feel like I got back into it with the next one though. You'll see why.

I was also thinking I could go back to Monday posts but I like the weekend writing. I think I'll stick with Sunday. Maybe even move RR to Wed-Fri-Sun.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Chapter 242 Brookfrid

Author's note:

Hey there!

Only one today. I tried but I'm kind of in a slump right now. I have some really cool ideas coming up but there needs to be a bunch of world-building before that. I just have to sit down and do the words.

The temperature has settled a little to the high twenties thanks to a merciful cover of clouds and some rain so I can't even blame the weather on my low productivity...

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Chapter 241 Don't Be Too Lonely

Author's note:

Hey there!

I got a chapter done despite the heat! Praise me!

Seriously, it's insane here right now. Going around 40°C is terror... I wanted to get more writing done but it's just so exhausting. I'll go for a double on Friday, though. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little cooler.

Once again, thank you all for your support and welcome to the newcomers!

Enjoy the chapter!

Author's note:

Hey there!

I got another two chapters done! With today's bonus that's only two more for the thirty ahead from RR. Since the last day of the month is a Sunday, I'm going to try to get the last bonus out before then. I want to spend most of next week writing new chapters.

On that note, thanks for the feedback on my new rewrite experiment. It's just that, an experiment. I want to work on it for a little more, maybe until around where Fio leaves the goblin village...

Hey there!

I got another one for you. First, the bad news. I was not able to get signed up for my exams this semester. There's one more avenue I can try but I don't think it'll do much... The good news? I got lots of time to write! So much so that I got back into the rewrite. 

I'm planning to do a little blog post tomorrow or on Friday talking about writing in general and what I learned about rewriting. I first want to get a little more done so you can se...

Hey there!

Sorry for the delay. It's just past midnight here. I've been having trouble to sit down and write. It's not unusual for me. Sometimes I just don't know what I want to happen at all. Usually I have a simple idea before I start writing a chapter but it's been tough. I know what to do for the next one, at least. And there's some stuff coming up soon which I have planned out. A little.

Hello everyone.

Today is a sad day. I woke up to a YouTube video about Technoblade losing his fight with cancer. I cried for over half an hour. I can't even tell you why it hit me that hard. Maybe it's because I had so little knowledge and was still hoping for him to come back. The man has been a light in many people's lives, my own included.

The emotional mess that was me for most of today was unable to write much. At least I could get this one done. I hope i...

Announcement - End of the Month and Chapter Delay

Hello everyone!

I said I want to do a post to talk about things for this month and here it is.

First of all, real life is hitting right now and I haven't started writing today's chapter. Disregarding that I also need to do some housework which I might just push to tomorrow... That means: No chapter today. Probably. I'll try to get some writing done but it's likely gonna be out tomorrow instead. 

That's the immediate stuff. Now, for my long-term plans: I have started on ...
