Eight crepe-flipping years · 2:29pm May 15th, 2023
Hey folks
Next week's my birthday. It will also be The Mare in the Warp's anniversary. Eight years. Eight crepe-flipping years since I started working on a personal project to prove to myself that I could write a long story and stick to it and finish it.
When I started I thought it would be a 20-50k stories and that it would take 6 months, maybe a year to write.
Many things happened. I rewrote the first chapters a few times, lost work, changed direction for the story, added extra bits with Battle Reports, fell into heavy depression several times... I even went to jail. The story is creeping its way into 100k-word territory, and it still isn't finished.
And yet I'm still here. I guess it's a success in itself. I stuck to it for almost a decade. I proved myself that I could work on a project for year and not give up. Now there's only one thing to do: finish it. The next chapter is on its way. Hopefully I can release it before the end of the month. Realistically it will be done somewhen in June.
Hope life treats you fairly.
