《The Contestant》Short Hiatus
Advertisement
So I have been busy/had a major case of writer's block over the last week. I am going to take a short hiatus of two to three weeks to try and work through it. I also want to build up a reserve of at least 3 or 4 chapters so if this happens again, I can continue to release them.
It takes me on average about 5 hours to write a chapter. I've done some in as short a time as 4 hours, and some it took me closer to 8. That doesn't include research time(yes, I actaully do research things lol)
Anyways, for the last couple of weeks, I have written and released chapters on the same day, and I think the stress of that has caused me to stop enjoying writing.
I also have quite a few things piling up at work, so I am busy with that.
I know frequent chapter releases on Royalroad are the biggest draw for an author, but I just can't keep up with the pace of a lot of authors here. Releasing 2 chapters a day, 5 days a week like some authors is insane.
