Writer's notes

8/22/2018

Greetings everyone! This is my first time I ever wrote a complete story chapter (I tried writing before, but I wasn't patient enough back then 😊).

This is a part 1 of my story, sort of testing water scenario. I tried my best to keep close to the original style of the light novel, while trying to develop my own style.

I also did my best to preserve characters' personalities: they behave and act like they normally would, none of them suddenly started acting out of character, etc. (I am very particular about that part).

As such, I would really appreciate any feedback and criticism on my first chapter. Was it easy to read and follow the story flow? Did anyone act out of their character? What can I do to fix and improve the story writing?

Once I apply all improvements (if necessary), I will use that newly acquired knowledge and skills for writing future parts.

Thank you in advance and happy reading!

First, I apologize for such a big gap between my releases. Being a full-time worker leaves you with only that much free time.

I am trying my best to utilize my weekends and evenings to write even smallest chunks; but I am doing all the job: initial/final drafts, finalizing script, proofreading, catching upon inconsistencies, etc.

However, this is my first story I am fully committed to see to its end. So, you can definitely expect future releases until my story is fully finished!

Writing these 2 chapters introduced me to some interesting techniques to increase productivity speed up writing quality, which I am more than willing to try for chapter 3.

Thank you all and happy reading!

Phew, finally, another chapter is finished!

I didn't expect this chapter to take me this long, but LOTS of things happened that hindered my progress.

· I've been assigned a new project at work, and that beast saps my energy faster than Google Play – my battery. But I remained dedicated to my rule of writing something every day.

· I watched the first episode of Goblin Slayer… I had to watch and read a LOT of comedy content afterwards to get my mind back into a light-hearted mood. Coming from the guy, who's read about a half of Berserk manga with no problem.

· I watched the first episode of Re:Zero… Ended up watching everything related to the show, except for recent OVA. Now I'm a big fan of both Konosuba and Re:Zero. Also, Rem is the best girl! 😊

· This chapter ended up being almost twice longer than I anticipated, but I couldn't find a fitting cut-off point. As such, I had almost a double work on writing, editing, etc.

But overall, I am satisfied with the final product. I successfully used writing techniques I mentioned during last chapter publishing. I finished the initial chapter outline within a week! O_O Hopefully, I can get back on track with one chapter per month pace in the future.

Thank you all and happy reading!

It's done. It's done. IT'S DONE!

After all this time, I finally made it!

Lots of stuff happened, and I don't really want to bore you with all these irl details. But I made sure to dedicate at least some time every day to writing, and it finally bore the fruit.

Thank you all and happy reading!

I did it guys! I DID IT!

Having 5 hours per WEEK to spare on writing it is no joke!

But on the bright side, my creativity didn't go completely into this single chapter. I ended up with around 5 pages of snippets ready for the next chapter as well, so we've got a nice head start! Hopefully, that'll speed up things somehow.

Anyway, I hope your patience is finally rewarded!

Thank you all and happy reading!

It's finally here!

This chapter is a bit shorter, but I decided to split it in two, so I could release it faster, without having to wait for another month or two. On a positive side, I've already gotten tons of snippets for the next part, so it's not completely from scratch!

Anyway, thank you all and happy reading!

Jeez it took so long...!

I think this chapter was one of those moments when you really need to push and motivate yourself to keep writing since you're already too deep into it. Writing even a little bit every day really helps to develop a steady discipline. I hope you enjoy the final result.

Thank you all and happy reading!
