Hiiii. I’m here to announce some posting schedule changes! I didn’t want to just stick it in the author notes tomorrow, so I figured I’d do a separate post on an off-day. Tomorrow’s chapter will be up as usual.

BUT, for a TLDR: I’m moving to weekly posting on Saturdays starting next week. So there will be no more Tuesday posts going forward. To balance that out, I’m also adjusting my Patreon. So now $2.50/month will get you early chapters if you want them.

That’s the gist of it, but if you’d like more explanation, read on…

So, here’s the thing - I’m actually currently in the middle of a career change (!!!). I’ve been working in one field that I wasn’t that into for nearly a decade now, and I recently decided to study my way into another that I’ll hopefully enjoy a bit more.

I’m hesitantly excited about all of this? So it’s definitely not a bad thing at all. But I’ll be applying for new jobs soon and hopefully interviewing (and ideally starting a new role!!!), and there’s a whole lot of stress that comes with that. In fact, I’ve already found myself struggling to keep up with two posts per week, and I haven’t even started looking for new jobs. ^^;;

I had originally hoped to end “Arc 1” before going down to 1 post/week, but my outline got away from me a bit. I think we have around 10-15 chapters left in this first arc based on the current outline, but tbh, I don’t even have Arc 2 planned out! That’s been part of my stress lately – I feel like I haven’t had time to plan out the next arc fully, and it’s going to be time to write it before I know it…

I’m also hoping going down to 1 chapter/week will also allow me to spend more time on each chapter and develop them a bit more. At one point, I had started to write 3-4k word chapters, and I really liked those, but right now that isn’t sustainable for me at 2 chapters/week.

So, we’re going to go down to 1 chapter/week and see how that feels. I’m hoping it will mean better chapters for you, albeit a longer wait. :P And hopefully some weeks I’ll still manage to post two chapters, but if I do, expect them both to arrive on Saturday from now on.

Thank you so much for all of your support and feedback. I’m obviously not the best at replying to comments, but I do read them (and really I’m going to go back and fix all of the typos you’ve pointed out, I swear!!).

New chapter will be up tomorrow as usual. I hope you enjoy it!
