>>88882183I can feel myself wanting to rush through the bottleneck a bit. We're reaching the halfway point in the story and I want to be as delicate and as careful as I can to make the midpoint climax really nail it home and make the final half all the more meaningful as a result. It may just be a small and temporary thing but I want to make sure that urge to rush things settles a bit so I can make this as good as I envision. I felt that the conversation Botan had with the old couple and Civia's interrogation were not nearly as good as I wanted them to be so I think it may be a good idea to take a brief break so I can put the breaks on a little if that makes sense. I definitely haven't lost my passion for it, I am so eager to launch the second half but that eagerness shouldn't make this half suffer.
I find having two projects you can shift between benefits both in my case. Building Block Doll was helped by this immensely. Whenever the well dried up, I bounced to the other project I was doing at the time and vise versa. It benefited immensely from it because I didn't force out chapters. Rest assured though, my passion for WD hasn't died, I am actually so enthusiastic about the interest you have in it. I have worked super hard on making sure it's just right.
