2021-08-05 00:18:34Hey! So I took a while to think about things a bit, and my rate will go from 7 chapters a week to 4 chapters a week for this novel.
Before you boo me, please read my reasons.
It's simple:
-Around 7 chapters a week is my limit
-I want to last for a while with three novels in my hands
-Want to better split the amount of content I produce.
Still, I couldn't bring myself to bring down the release rate of this novel too much, and it is still a fact that it is way easier for me to write than the two others, which makes it also way less taxing to write regular chapters.
So I decided to keep the majority of the week, so 4 chapters a week, for this novel, and split the rest between the two others.
I am contractually unable to mention the two others, so I will call them novel 1 and 3 as usual.
So the release rate will be:
Novel 1: 1.5 chapters a week.
Novel 2: 4 chapters a week.
Novel 3: 1.5 chapters a week.
For a grand total of 7 chapters a week!
Novels 1 & 3 share a day by alternatively taking it, how wholesome, right?
Anyway, as I was literally writing the other two novels for the past three days, I used up my stockpile. In order to be able to grow it back and get a good cycle, I'll set the release to be from Sunday to Wednesday, every week.
It'll accompany you in your difficult early week, and comfort you when your Sunday is ending and you have to get to facing Monday.
That was all for my note, seeya Sunday!

Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (6) - Time
I have been reading on my smartphone for a few hours now. I had the time to check the news and the latest releases of a few of my favorite pieces of fiction. Not all are released daily, and not all are released in a chapter-per-chapter format, or even on the same platform, but nowadays, most of what you read can be bought in electronic format. I am a bookworm, but I do not own more than a few books. But there is a reason for this. While I do entertain unrealistic thoughts, like dreams or escapism, things that are common to about everyone, I also am not one to be overly attached to the paperback format. If I am able to read as well, if not better, on a phone than with a physical book, why waste both space and energy unnecessarily? Anyway, getting back to the matter at hand, I hear footsteps coming from the stairca

Today was just an ordinary day for them. They were a family of four going on vacation. Two parents, two brothers. They wanted to avoid traffic, so they left early in the morning. The father was driving, and the mother was sleeping. Meanwhile, for the two brothers behind, one was playing with a portable console, the other was reading. They had been on their way for a while, and the small amount of sleep they took weighed on the father a lot. They were on the highway, and the slow, calming rhythm had made quick work of putting the mother to sleep. Yawning, the father hesitated on turning on the radio for a while, then decided othe

It's Sunday evening, and my brother sent me messages on a chatting app we both use. Not any messages, though. There are various links. It includes videos about random subjects and various articles. The important content there is among the various articles. We do send each other content we find interesting from time to time, but the rest of this batch only serves to hide one particular article issued from a local newspaper. I do click on a few other links for pretense's sake before getting to the article that interests me.

Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (11) - I lost / What a terrible day
Today was boring as usual. It's probably the same for my sister. My sister is two grades below me, and I rarely ever see her, but I know for sure what kind of person she is. We are a stoic pair of siblings. We are more loners, and enjoy having our own personal space. We have friends, but never at the cost of not being true to our personalities. At least that's what I believed. Today, I was with two friends of mine. My only two friends, actually. Except I saw a sight I would never have believed to be true. My sister, with a huge smile, being the leader of a group of 6 girls. Who knew she could lie with such ease. If I didn'

Left: There are two severe events we wish to prevent, but there is only one we can stop. So please choose. Right: Today, a gamma-ray burst will hit Earth, destroying most of its ozone layer. Left: And several zombies will appear, causing the start of a zombie apocalypse. Why are there two world-ending events today? That's the same day, you know? They didn't mention it, but I'm pretty sure that one of these was caused by my brother's choice. If I had to guess, I'd say the zombie apocalypse, as it's the one we have the most chances of surviving should I fail to stop it. And it seems like I'll have to fail to stop it. I don't think I can ignore the gamma-ray burst. If most of our ozone layer is destroyed, even if we manage
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (13) - Blockchain
If I need to alert the world, there is no better way than to have the media talk about it. For that to happen, I need to be as straightforward as possible. Enough to create doubt. So long as it CAN be true, it will be investigated. Especially if investigations are encouraged. The best way to do that is money. It just happens that a few years back, I took interest in a new technology: blockchain. Back then, it was just starting, and I saw it mentioned in a few forum posts. I did like the idea a bit, so I hosted a node, and also mined quite a bit. I did not think it would go as far as it did nowadays, so the amount I mined, while high, is nowhere near what I could've mined had I taken it seriously. My early mover advantage, though, allowed me to have thousands of the c

Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck… I'm late! Who thought I'd sleep through my alarm clock… I hurry up, get dressed, and leave my room. I'm late by almost 4 hours. As I get down the stairs, I seriously consider the utility of actually going. I have about 6 hours and a half of courses in the day. Minus 4 hours it makes it down to 2 and a half. Minus the time to eat, and the 30 minutes to walk all the way there, it would eat 1 more hour into it. In the end, is it worth walking 1 hour in total to have 1 hour and a half of courses?
Volume 10 - re:D.D. (23) - Troublesome
How troublesome… Lately, it seemed to be the only thought getting through his mind. As the Secretary of Defense of the United States, he was supposed to have some level of authority, but, with the recent events, things had too much of a tendency to be out of his hands. With supernatural matters that could threaten national security visible to the public, he felt like he visited the President's desk more than his own. It could almost be seen as enough to warrant the creation of a highly secure internal mailing system, if such a system wasn't deemed to be eventually broken through. In fact, it could be observed that he was seen in the White House than the cans of coke the president kept drinking. Today was no different.

Volume 10 - re:D.D. (21) - A Better World
She wasn't feeling much. In fact, both her senses and awareness were limited, for she was currently part of a gigantic mass of flesh. She was right at the center. Maybe it was because her individuality was slowly disappearing, but she had a small moment of clarity. Right as her zombie part was slowly integrating into a greater consciousness, her human side, which had disappeared ever since she became a zombie, reappeared. As her reason came back, it was hit with a truckload of memories, and she was met with horror. It wasn't just what she became or what she did, but also where she was. She could only see darkness, she could hear nothing, she could only feel a wriggling wall of flesh all around, as if she was bathing in it.
Volume 10 - re:D.D. (20) - The Wave of Change
A/N: I didn’t notice, but I took my break right on the 100k words mark! Anyway, here is the chapter! As the day was going, it didn't take long for me to know that nothing was done about the zombies. Seeing how difficult my choices are becoming, it is likely that my sister is faced with considerably difficult choices too. Preventing negative consequences might not be the best way to deal with things. Sometimes, doing a trade-off might be better. Of course, I have no way to know if my sister also has choices and not another form of using her angels, but it doesn't change the fact that I trust her ability to pick the best path. If she decided that sacrificing Sydney was necessary, then I trust her. While I might be a bit short-sighted, I believe she has t
Some news
Over the past 4 days, today included, which is when I usually write this novel in the week, I've not written anything. I've been a bit out of it lately, and while I've had reason to attribute it to fatigue up to now, as I was genuinely constantly tired, I've had time to sleep more since then, and I'm still not better. Overall, I feel a lack of inspiration, and a lack of will to do anything. I've still been able to pump out quite a few good chapters, but I think I reached the limit. I know it sounds sudden, but I'm going to take a break for a short while. Back in June was when I started writing everyday for my various novels, after a month, I was a bit burned out and took a break. I then was back 3 weeks later and have been since then. Originally, it was more about testing my limits, and it turned into an habit, but I still think I should still stay within the bounds of being well enough to write quality chapters. Anyway, less than a month ago, I was g

If something in this world deserved to be called a monster, the gigantic pile of flesh currently going through Sydney was definitely the one. After all, it wasn't figuratively, but literally going through Sydney. Sydney wasn't the capital of Australia, but it was definitely its biggest city by population. A position that it would definitely lose to Melbourne after the current disaster striking it is finished. If it is ever finished, and if there is any way to compile the body count. Meanwhile, the prime offender was absorbing people at an extremely fast rate, as it was storming through the city. It was rolling through the city. Yes, rolling. Whatever it was, the collective entity quickly understood that rather than focusing on
Volume 10 - re:D.D. (18) - Warp Drive
When talking about such an elusive concept as a Warp Drive, there were multiple areas of expertise that needed to reach a certain level to develop one.Of course, science fiction, which was originally inspired by science, had now long turned around and influenced several generations of scientists and physicists. And so, a lot of people already worked on it. While saying it was your main domain of research would attract scornful glares, and some did attract such glares since 1994, but working on a few papers several times in your career wasn't a problem.In fact, the implications of warp drives on the current model of quantum physics made it a pretty interesting research subject for various specialties.And this was why, when in early 2021, a paper proposed a theoretical model for warp drive, it attracted a deep inte
