No chapter today. Chapter Tuesday.

pirateaba sat in a room typing. They typed Pt. 3. They typed Pt. 4. However, neither one is good to go. Editing must be done. Therefore...

They are going to take today off and edit and post another chapter Tuesday. No chapter today; no chapter Wednesday.

That way they will not explode.

This is a short story about the life of pirateaba. Thank you for your patience.

The end.

SLAM.

Chapter Delay to 20th.

Hey, it's me. I have to go to the plan B I mentioned and release the next chapter on the 20th. I had hoped to write and edit before the wedding (I am away from my computer at this very moment), but it was not to be.

I think the stress of travel and the fact I will be giving a wedding speech (that's gonna be weird), make it too hard for me to focus and write. I had one day to do the edits and while I had hoped to write while on the road...that was a pipe dream.

Airports are terribl...

Chapter Delay -- ETA Sunday

Attention, I'm calling a chapter posting delay. In the course of working on 10.20 E, I wrote 60,000 words, a huge amount of writing. My beta-readers have signaled that most cannot even provide timely feedback on the writing, and I, personally, am a bit tired as well.

There are more substantive edits needed in the second half to make sure the chapter hits all the notes. I think the bones are good, but releasing it today would be a poorer experience even if I could do it. I am staring at ...

Side Stories Poll - July 2024

I am gonna update the wording to mention the poll is every OTHER month. Just because I don't know if it's the wisest thing to offer a poll that influences chapters so much. I can obviously choose which poll options I put out, but I think it's better just to err on every other month.

Hi, I'm tired. Possibly because I still want more time off. Possibly because it's too hot and I am dying. Here are my options. I think this poll should be one moving forwards plotlines not currently...

Chapter Poll -- May 2024!

Hello, it me. The hour has come again. Should I be offering polls if it's 1/3 of the current month's writing? Well, I tend to only offer stories I think I want and sometimes being forced to write a chapter I might not think is optimal pushes me. Unpredictability is the spice of stories, even for me.

...I made the mistake of asking members of the Discord server what to put on this poll. I'm gonna actually give some context to these options this time. I'll have the spoilers, but here were...

The Sweet and Bitter Story Poll!

It's me. I'm gonna be brief and just skip my usual writing because I'm on break. Highlights: had chills and felt cold even wrapped up in blankets for the last 3-4 days. Not a fever. Just bodily exhaustion. It happens. I'm sure I've mentioned it before.

Playing Dragon's Dogma 2. Not as fun as people hoped but that's gaming news. I think I've nearly beaten it. Trip in Puerto Rico this month might affect chapters.

Still, poll, right? Given the way things are going, side-story isn't ...
