Well, thank god it wasn’t zombie pirates.
So, some things have been kind of disappointing for me lately. I think I may have mentioned it earlier, but I recently had to make a hard decision and cut a lot of material that was due in a couple of chapters. I’d been holding onto it with tooth and claw, but, well… it slowed down the story, and didn’t add much; it was a relic of previous edits. However, I hope that after Eldritch is finished, maybe I can revisit those plotlines, as well as several other stories that I want to tell in the Eldritch world. There are so many stories I want to tell, but I struggle just getting one of these crammed out every week. Also, as it turns out, I’m not gonna get to see a friend of mine, who I’d hoped to see in a couple of weeks. Bummer.

On the bright side, I look forward to next week’s page, and autumn’s only a month away. Harvest has been good for my garden this year, and wildcrafting’s gone well. So, while some things have been disappointing, things overall are pretty okay.
Editing is a painful business but still necessary. As you get better you'll find yourself becoming even more ruthless with yourself, but it is worth it because you can feel your work getting stronger from it.
