《Heretical Oaths》On the future of HO (IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS) (not a hiatus) (not a chapter)
Advertisement
Sorry, no chapter today. Some explanations as to why are below.
Boring personal stuff:
Hey guys. Slifer here. It's been a crazy few months, going from someone who'd never touched RR before to where I am now. I've learned a lot, written a lot, and made a lot of mistakes. When I started, I was just slapping what little I had and posting it--back then, I was almost about to drop this story before we even hit the first scene at the Sinlen Pass all the way back in chapter 6.
As I reach the 6-month mark of writing and posting, I'm realizing something rather important. Yes, I still love my story, and I swear to complete it (so worry not, this is not a cancellation post). However, I am definitely suffering from some level of burnout. There was a time when pumping out three 4-5k chapters a week was nothing to me (interestingly enough, this was during exam season). Now, though, after travel and illness and more travel, I'm realizing that trying to write so much is really starting to weigh on me. Combined with my anxiety, it's a real bitch to deal with, especially on days where I either can't write or just am not in the mood at all.
Less boring Q&A segment where I pretend to know what you're thinking:
But Slifer, aren't you writing the same story as before? What happened?
Well, I'm not just writing this story anymore. It's a pretty poorly kept secret, but I'm also writing System Error, a decently popular litRPG. Also, I've got a third project going on the side that y'all will get to see in a month or two (or now if you look up Slifer274 on Reddit).
Yeah, I decided to write more in general. Whoops. I promise I'll finish HO! It'll just be slower.

What does this mean for us?
I'm changing my schedule to 2 chapters per week. One on Sunday, one on Thursday. Hopefully, this means I can get my Patreon up to 3+ chapters ahead again.
Also, Heretical Oaths will be going to Kindle Unlimited in about a month.
Wait, KU? Why?
Because as much as I hate capitalism, I like having money.
As an author, you have an obligation to let us have all your content for free!
I mean, you've got a month to read it for free...
Full disclosure, I'm going to stop writing if it becomes unviable to continue because of how much time it takes vs. what I get out of it, even though I do love writing for writing's sake. Going KU is a means to an end, and the end is me continuing writing.
More boring stuff:
Thanks for sticking with me through all these chapters. I know I've been inconsistent lately (the drastic drop in views/chapter and patrons certainly make sure I never forget LOL) and I'm sorry that releases will get further between.
