A Much Needed Change
🕑 Added 2023-02-24 06:58:38 +0000 UTCSo, it finally happened.
As you know, I've been juggling a good number of stories for quite awhile. And as of this evening I ended up spending nearly a whole day writing an update, only to throw the entire thing out. I forgot critical information and ended up writing something that was completely nonsensical in the grand scheme of things. I've made small mistakes before, you all have probably spotted one or two of them, but this was the first time I couldn't spend 20 minutes fixing things.
An entire day's work rendered unsalvageable because I've had too much going on is simply unacceptable.
I've got nearly a dozen stories on the go, and have been having trouble giving them the attention they need for a while. Now, with this final nail in the coffin, I've made the somewhat sad decision to put two of the "big three" stories on ice for a while.
Infestation will go on immediate hiatus, while First Law will go on one after I've finished the next chapter and concluded this arc. The current plan is to finish Born In Light, and then move on to finishing First Law. After that, I'll continue knocking down stories until they are all done. (Born In Light should only take two months before concluding)
This means I will be writing multiple chapters of whatever story is currently on the chopping block. Born In Light will be receiving three a month, and then when it's First Law's turn it will be two a month. Once that's done, Infestation will be another three-month fic, etc.
That being said, I wanted to put the question before you all. What are your thoughts/opinions on this change?
I think this change will help me improve quality, and allow me to spend more time working on the words I owe you all, but I'd really like to hear what you think about this change.

It definitely sounds like the smartest course of action. Focus on a few stories at a time to have a fresh take on the other.
