No New Chapters Today
Added 2024-11-01 03:52:27 +0000 UTCOkay. It doesn't happen very often, but, every once in a while, even I have a day where I just can't get my head in the right space to write. I can often get around it by switching to a non-Unintended Cultivator project and working on that for an hour or two. Today, though, everything I tried to write was just lifeless, uninspired crap. I couldn't bring the funny with Terry. I couldn't bring the serious with Sen. I couldn't find the middle ground with James. So, there will be no fresh chapters of anything today.
Some of it was just tiredness. I had a bout of insomnia last night, so my brain really was running on fumes today. The other part was a less than pleasant interaction I had with a now former subscriber to this page. They were kind of dickish in the comments, which has inspired me to reinstate the no comments policy on Unintended Cultivator for a while and put me in a bad mood for the whole day. Apparently, not satisfied with that, they direct messaged me to take another pass with the dickishness. That aggravated me even more. It turns out that being very tired and angry is not awesome for my creative process.
At any rate, I'm going to try to get a full night of sleep and see if the creative juices aren't flowing a little better in the morning.

Dickish comments will get you das boot or the ban hammer. Please ignore people with no talented trying to tell you how to write.

2024-11-01 14:02:35 +0000 UTCHonestly I’m surprised you don’t take more breaks! The way you work most people would burn themselves out after a week. You never need to justify taking a break to us, let alone one so short as a single day!

I think we all appreciate the heads-up, of course, but speaking for myself, I've no problem with you taking some quality time for yourself to rest, recover, recuperate, etc. Hope ya feel better soon!

2024-11-01 04:45:54 +0000 UTCPlease take all the time you need to get enough sleep and rest that head of yours. As for the other, personally I've never understood readers who don't understand they can just not read what they don't like. Seems far too obvious and simple. I guess some think telling off an author is righteous? Don't get it but really sorry that happened.
