Chapter 899: A Few Random Words

Just a few ramblings

Just a few ramblings

At 6 p. m. I was in front of the computer, but didn't write a single character; my heart was weary and my brain was exhausted.

These past few days my condition has been terribly poor; I reflected on myself: first, I slacked off at the start of the month; second, I haven't been diligent lately; third, I just finished the Consul and Holy Soul Ascension plotlines, entering a transition period.

The outline for the sequel has been ready for a long time, but the problem is there are too many plot points. I just counted them and there are over thirty, a tangled mess, leaving me bewildered. Some are meant for this volume, some belong to the next volume but could also fit here. After half a day of sorting, it's like a tiger trying to bite a brown robe with nowhere to sink its jaws…

This is my first time writing something this long—almost 3.3 million characters; my previous longest was only 1.25 million. I now expect the Warhammer Wizard to exceed 4.5 million characters, and 5 million isn't out of the question… I'm now feeling what it's like to write a book into its later stages; the further you go, the harder it gets. No wonder many authors slow down their updates, see a sharp drop in quality, even become eunuchs—it's truly difficult!

Being a eunuch is impossible, though a few years ago I wrote that in this book, and later I still became a eunuch…

Today is only the 5th, and I've already used up three Leave Requests this month; consider it a burn‑the‑boats move—at least for the remaining 26 days I'll update every day.

As a chronic procrastinator, I can only stabilize by forcing myself into a corner with no way out.

I apologize to everyone here!

Also, to add a note: in the previous chapter someone commented that I'm single because I'm untrustworthy in words; I admit the rest, but I must refute this: I'm single because I'm poor…

But I stopped planning to marry long ago; ten years ago I already went flat, and I feel no fear about it. Descendants have their own blessings; without descendants I enjoy my own happiness.

Anyway I'm feeling great now, with nothing to worry about.

Not marrying means I don't have to buy a house; my royalties comfortably support me, life has entered Easy Mode, I won't think about old age—I may not even live that long—so I'll enjoy myself first!

I'll continue working on the detailed outline…
