Update: I decided to delete this post given a recent change of heart, but apparently I can''t update the chapter without at least 500 characters. Understandable. Accordingly, here''s a sneak peek of my latest update:


    So, I changed my mind. It happens. It happens a lot if I''m being honest, but generally I''m not writing and publishing a web serial in real time, and no one else need ever know—save my wife and two lovely cats.


    I burned myself out. That''s the simple truth of it. I try not to burn myself out these days, but I still slip up on occasion. For the month I was rapidly posting and writing Sailor''s Rise, I couldn''t sleep more than five or six hours a night, knowing I had to write or edit or post a certain amount every morning before my busy workday began. I''m also a writer who is uncomfortable with imperfection, which means I''m constantly going back to old chapters and making tiny edits you probably never noticed. I think I rewrote the opening paragraph of one particular chapter a dozen times.


    Next Chapter to keep reading.
