10.37 GDI Chapter Delay -- April 5th for Posting
Added 2025-03-27 22:58:57 +0000 UTCWe hit…60,000 words over the course of two writing days, so I am calling it. I need one last week off to edit this. I had known I’d write a lot in the epilogue, so I went in hard on the two days I had. I think I cooked with what I had. Certainly feedback is good.
However, I want it to be more good, everywhere. My notes (I have very specific notes from my beta-reader, these are my internal thoughts), are ‘hit everything and make it 2X better at least’. I don’t know if I can do it, but a week gives me time to add in more levels, more scenes, and finish this arc.
This will be the first arc that took all the time I thought it wanted--well, almost all--and I thank you for your forbearance. It also, frankly, helps because I have family visiting, and the next four days will take up more time to be with them, so it would have hurt my editing time anyways.
One last delay…then I can delete the notes document made specifically for this arc, and archive all the data in my head. Though I’ve never defragmented my mind. It could probably use it. Thanks, and wish me luck.

2025-03-29 22:29:30 +0000 UTCYou wanted to be reminded that you had some back issues of "Tales from Innworld" unless you have a plan for those going forward in the big break.

2025-03-29 06:46:05 +0000 UTCThis has been a challenge arch for me. It’s wonderful but I struggle to keep it all straight. I hope after this we get back to good old fashioned linear time.

2025-03-28 20:07:10 +0000 UTCI was just thinking about how much I love this story. I have no idea how long I've been reading it for, but I have old chapter passwords saved with the oldest being September 16, 2018 so at the least it's been a wonderful 6 1/2 years.

2025-03-28 13:31:46 +0000 UTCI'm sure it'll be all the better for it. Enjoy having the time you truly need to finish

2025-03-28 03:02:14 +0000 UTCTake time and chill, I have been pausing at stopping points and reading other stuff, stretching the last few chapters to last most of the week. High level writing going on, keep on doin you!

2025-03-28 02:49:28 +0000 UTCI'm excited that the epilog will be beefy, so I'm willing to wait.

2025-03-28 00:33:56 +0000 UTCOh no pirateaba is incapable of putting out the gross yearly writing product of 4 authors in a single week, i feel much betrayed ;P

2025-03-28 00:13:14 +0000 UTCHonestly you are probably going to need a bigger break then just a week soon. Thank you for all your hard work. Rest well!
Clarence Grant
2025-03-27 23:55:29 +0000 UTCGood luck! It's been an interesting read here. You've done a multiverse arc really well. It's been fun getting to see all of these mentioned characters from history show up.
Benjamin Lewis
2025-03-27 23:52:12 +0000 UTCMrsha's apotheosis will take as long as it needs to, of course. I know I don't begrudge you for needing as long as possible to make her ascension one of unmatched glory. Also, all the other stuff that will happen, I guess.
Cen
2025-03-27 23:33:33 +0000 UTCHonestly you've pulled through so many times I have full faith. Do what you gotta do.

2025-03-27 23:18:58 +0000 UTCI'm always willing to wait for a longer chapter of high quality. Take your time Pirate! We'll all be ready to quack all the louder next week. Best of luck!
Birdie59
2025-03-27 23:11:54 +0000 UTCYeah honestly I'm fine with this. One thing I notice is that we always see the results from you. If you take a break, you return refreshed and motivated to write more. If you take time to edit more instead of write sheer volume, the quality of your already good work becomes noticeably stronger. If you spend it just writing, we get SO MUCH BREAD. Honestly, anything you need to do is fine by me - I always benefit in the end
Isaac Boyles
2025-03-27 23:08:29 +0000 UTCIt should go without saying, but you should take all the time you need. You’ve been giving us books worth of content for how long now? Look after us second before yourself. You super Duper awesome cool person.

2025-03-27 23:06:13 +0000 UTCDon't forget Calescent, he fought off Pallas soldiers and he's been cooking hard, okay?

2025-03-27 23:06:02 +0000 UTCPaba, you just need to swap out your old HDD brain with one of those fancy nvme brains, the fragmentation won't matter.

2025-03-27 23:04:28 +0000 UTCHappy to wait for your Master piece :)

2025-03-27 23:02:51 +0000 UTCMORE LEVELS!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!! They deserve lots for sure. Either way, take all the time you need Pirate! Don’t forget about the new year month break that you skipped to finish this out either!
