As one of you guessed in the comments, the current arc of Weeaboo ends in ~2 weeks. So this seems like a good time to share some news.
That first paragraph looks wierdly ominous. Actually, it's mostly good news. Lets get into it.
First- Slumrat. Vol. 3 drops in, I believe, August. I don't want to get out ahead of myself until I have a contract inked, so no further news on Vol. 4+, but there is a genuine LOL there. You will see. Those of you with KU/Audible gonna be getting some extra work out of your subscriptions. So, as of right now, it's full steam ahead on Slumrat. Vol. 4 is going to be a little shorter than Vol 3, though still longer than I initially intended. Such is life. So that's all basically good.
Second- Weeaboo. It's more than the current arc, Vol. 1 wraps up sometime next week. At which point it is going on a two week break. When Weeaboo returns, it's going to be dropping to a three chapter a week publication rate.
Real talk? The current release schedule has been kicking my ass. I can write Weeaboo faster than Slumrat, but trying to balance both at the same time has been a straight nightmare. My stockpiles are run down to nil, which is never a place I like to be, and I'm pretty exhausted. I don't like throwing my personal life on the internet- you guys didn't sign up for that. So I'm just going to hand wave it as 'Personal stuff has been eating my time and brain," and move on. I can write pretty fast, but not that fast, and not with personal stuff going on as well.
Now, it's not all bad. I'm going to use the time to build up some stockpiles for both Slumrat and Weeaboo, nudge my not-under-contract books into a queue to get published, other good stuff like that. Give my self a working rest. Just to be clear, I will keep Slumrat's current schedule through this period, and don't plan to change it in the future.
Fun fact about Weeaboo- I originally wrote it as a joke. The first two chapters were prompted by a fellow RR author, and the idea was so insane, I wanted to put it down on paper just to get it out of my head. It is now an actual, genuine article, book. I thought the Lovecraftian cultivation novel was the wierdest thing I would write. Nope. Always a stranger mountain to climb.
Thank you all for climbing with me.
