Hello, detectives.
I wasn’t sure where the usual "Update Readers" button was when I got on some minutes ago haha! However, now that I’m here, I want to discuss the upcoming days and potential update changes. This will apply to Detective Diaries and my other book, Scarlet if you follow that book as well. Now, people should know by now that summer is pretty much over and school is coming back pretty fast. I will be moving into my dorm room at the college I’m enrolling into early Saturday morning, so I’ll need all tomorrow and even the weekend to get used to my new "home". After all, I’m only a freshman--a young guy managing all this. I was looking forward to releasing the Prologue chapter I’ve been working hard on, but I couldn’t focus on it because I had to go in for work, visit family members for gifts, and pack my stuff up. I apologize for not delivering. There may updates from now until the next week, but I wouldn’t expect it. I’m focusing on just moving in and not having too much on my plate. I will probably do some tweaks to the page before the night is up. Thanks for reading, and have a good weekend. :)
Until next time, A.J.III.
Hey, everyone!
It’s been a crazy couple of days at my college, and the heat is relentless as always in my state at this time of year. There was so much I didn’t take into account when I moved into my dorm house and got my classes settled. I never properly prepared for the amount of time I would be away from my home daily, and usually, I’ll be gone from the morning to the evening, and even then, I will most likely go out for a bit to get some free food somewhere, attend an event, or workout. As much as I love writing and such, I believe going through with my current campaigns with the load that’s starting to settle in, I’ll get crushed by the responsibility. I hope you all who have ordered and thought about doing it in the future can understand my position, ’cause my current attention span is solely on my studies and finding a suitable job. Still, that doesn’t mean Detective Diaries will just die. Just going back to the draft phase, but hiatus mode, and probably every now and then I’ll do the video update thing I would do on Wednesdays to speak about the long path of the project. It isn’t easy getting published, which I’m sure you all know from being here, and it’s definitely not easy getting orders--marketing yourself comes into play and when I originally stumbled upon Inkshares, I believed many naive things swarming inside my head that it wouldn’t be a hard road, but in truth, it is hard. So, I’ll step away from this campaign stuff and focus on my important priorities rather than fighting an uphill battle at the moment with these orders. I don’t know when I’ll be able to continue this again, for it may take a semester, or my whole freshman year before I feel comfortable again. Scarlet will get the same treatment as Detective Diaries, so on both sides, there will be nothing new. However, don’t believe I won’t be writing still on the side and such, it’s just that I don’t have the confidence to juggle everything because I don’t want to fail. While the project is in a hiatus state, I will be having writing classes and there’s a possibility that I can work for the radio station on campus--they need writers, and that’s just another way for me to learn new things from actual professionals. Thanks for reading like always. :)
Until next time,
-A.J.III.
