Apologies for Another Delay

Right after I put out the announcement saying I would publish updates for both Heart of the Depth and Becoming the Great Mage this week, I ended up catching a cold from someone at work (so in a way, work continues to be a delaying factor). I had hoped to finish writing both chapters yesterday and today, but my energy has been completely sapped from me. You can expect both updates by Sunday, April 16th at the earliest. After that I will start my break which will last until at least the middle of May. When I return hopefully things work will be more stable and I'll be in better health.

Another delay came up, this time in the form of a promotion. I'm now a supervisor so I had even less time to write. I should have the chapters up by the 23rd, 27th at the absolute latest.

Chapter 18 of Becoming the Great Mage will be delayed until April 4th. Things have been really busy with my new job and I'm still trying to work out the kinks in my daily life. However, as usual, to compensate for the missing chapter this week, the next update will include 2 chapters! Thank you for your patience!

[sleuthkahlua]

I was frazzled when I wrote this update and didn't realize I said the 4th, when I meant the 7th because that's what's supposed to be the schedule. But otherwise things are moving along on schedule so rest assured BtGM will update on time!

[sleuthkahlua]

Apologies for the delayed announcement, and sorry there was no update yesterday. I ended up having to work all day yesterday and didn't get a chance to publish the update. You'll notice there will only be one chapter today, that's because I only got halfway through writing the second chapter I promised, it will be published tomorrow since I'll be free to finish it! After that we'll be back on schedule.

[sleuthkahlua]

Once again I have to apologize for another delay. But Chapter 19 of Becoming the Great Mage will be out tomorrow, April 11th. I've had a hell of a time trying to get these last couple chapters done but I don't want to keep you waiting any longer. But that brings me to this:

Important announcement

Unfortunately, with the way work keeps shuffling around my shifts, I can't really keep up with my writing schedule (just now I just got a message saying half my shifts are being changed this week). So I'm thinking I'll be taking a short break until things are a little more stabilized. I'll still write when I can during the break, but I likely won't publish the next chapter until May at the earliest.

If you're wondering about Heart of the Depth, the next chapter will update this week don't worry. My break will start after it's out.

I hate to do this after having been (mostly) consistent for so long, but I just haven't had the time or energy after starting my new job to keep up with writing a chapter every week. When I do come back I don't plan to update any less, I just need time to figure out when the best time will be for me to write. I'll keep everyone posted until I resume writing full force! Thank you for your patience!

Chapter 18 - Exchanging Letters

Mona gets an earful from the Old Hag, but something unexpectedly pleasant happens as well in the form of a letter. Or maybe several of them.

Childe, Lumine, and the Foul Legacy crew are brought onto the Crux against their will, but it proves to be more of a useful than simply being held hostage.

Chapter 17 - Showing Gratitude

Mona is dumbfounded to be standing with the winners of the Combat Tournament, but that's not nearly as shocking as who bestows her the second place award. But there seems to be something going on behind the scenes that even someone with so much knowledge of the web novel can't seem to figure out.

Chapter 19 of Heart of the Depth will be delayed until Wednesday March 1st. I forgot that Tuesday was my mom's birthday so I won't be able to finish the chapter in time. My apologies!

[sleuthkahlua]

Sorry again, I'll be delaying the next Heart of the Depth chapter until March 14th as I've had a little writer's block. But I will have 2 chapters ready for you on the 14th instead of just the usual one to make up for it!

Chapter 18 of Heart of the Depth is going to be delayed until tomorrow. Unfortunately I over exerted myself the past couple days and didn't have a chance to finish anything until today. I would have liked to get the chapter out for Valentine's, but well, delays happen! We'll make it on time for White Day for sure though
