2022-03-15 02:10:19 +0000 UTC View PostSo I've been spending a lot more time editing and rewriting lately, which means I've fallen far behind. I just said yesterday that I didn't want to take a break from releases, but I changed my mind. 784 is a good place to pause as any, and 785 needs more work before it's ready, and maybe even a partial rewrite that I dont really want to commit to.
So since editing is no fun and doing so on a deadline is stressful, I'm gonna hit pause on the counter and just move ahead with writing for...
Author's Note: First off, i'd like to apologize for how late this chapter is. I got hung up on editing 783 and will probably get hung up on 784 and 785 too. I knew this would happen coming into march, which is why I suspended payment, so I could get hung up on chapters and edit them to my heart's content. That being said, I'm dumb and forgot to account for new patrons, and there have been many.
So that being said, an apology and explanation are far from enough, so I onc...

That being said, I'm tired and frustrated and mildly burned out. i need a break, even just a day, to hopefully get my head on straight again. This chapter went very differently in my head, but i kept getting bogged down in the minutia, and I don't like it one bit.

Author's Note: So I had this great, amazing idea to make Rain's narration more dynamic, which involved jumping in and out of different PoVs in rapid fire order. It sounded like a great idea in theory, a face-paced jump through various conflicts to get a look at how the battle is unfolding overall, but it crashed and burned before really getting off the ground.
So I had to go back to my initial boring plan of Rain Narrates some stuff.

I'll have it edited along with 768 for tuesday, but for now, I'm afraid you'll just have to bear with the unedited version. It just slipped my mind that I had to do this, since I was busy doing edits to 766, which by the way HAS changed so go check that out on RR.
Seriously, my apologies for all the slip ups lately, but tis been a rough start to the year. Hope you still enjoy, and take care.
