    Computer works again

    Well, I took away the following lesson from getting my computer to work again.

    1) My local computer store is really great (they burnt me a recovery disk for free)
    2) System refresh is a great way to clear off programs.
    3) Microsoft support can't be relied on.

    Long story short, I'm having technical issues.

    To keep it brief, both my laptop and my computer have stopped working within about a week of each other a week ago. I lost pretty much a full collateral chapter when my laptop went (screen is dead), and a little more (when I started rewriting it) when my desktop computer starting having trouble (error d0000452). I'm trying to get the later fixed, but no ETA as of yet. All I have now is a tiny

    Little update on Collateral

    Hey guys.

    I had previously said that I would be returning to the normal update schedule once exams were over, but I had forgotten about an additional component of the course: Co-op related assignments and work. Collateral will resume weekly updates as of this Saturday.

Damn the torpedoes. · 4:17am Mar 4th, 2014

Screw it.

Really, I have nothing to blame but myself. Yes, I am incredibly busy at university; engineering is lots of work. Yes, I have been in a bit of a funk, but both of those are really excuses. There is no reason I am not able to update any of my stories with regularity other than myself. Several thousand words of week is nothing, and really I know I am capable of writing at least ten thousand. In fact, at one point, while in school no less, I was managing to write ~15000 words a week. So please. If I ever try to make an excuse to take a break from writing that sounds even remotely like I am just being lazy, call me out on it.

I have also failed to live up to many promises I have made in the past few months, and because of that, I would like to give my profound apologies. I know I am better than that.

So let me try and change that.

Collateral will be updated every Saturday, starting this Saturday, till it is finished. Bar the week of final exams (which I am legitimately too busy), I will be posting a new chapter every week. If, for some reason I am unable to finish a chapter in time, I will post make a blog post on the Wednesday prior to the updates, unless it is an emergency.

Once I again, I would like to say I am sorry. I really am. I let a lot of people down, and it is high time I finish the story.

Don't burn out, mate.
If you're really busy and not in the mood for writing, the writing and you will suffer.

It's a good story, and we can wait for it.

I'm more than wiling to wait if that means the quality of your writing remains consistent. I've seen way to many authors burn out trying to write too much too quickly.
