Genuinely I do think maybe the funniest thing I’ve ever done as an author was update KS after so many years but just here on my website and not tell anyone but like, Patreon and Discord. And it’s still funny because the punchline of posting it all to Ao3 is still months away.
KS has a majority of my focus right now, just because I’ve been working and traveling a lot so there’s not a lot of time to write. It’s mostly getting written on my laptop in my car between uber rides. After I hit the end of this arc, I’ll have to switch into outlining mode so it’ll go on long hiatus again. Especially since I have actually decided to change a bit of the outline (this is insanity to no one but me, who has resisted changing the outline against any and all outside forces up til now). It’s just to improve the pacing, though.
It doesn’t take a genius to notice that KS’s pacing is slow as hell, and one of the things that was really throwing a wrench in the works for me in working on the upcoming outlines was trying to fill out the time. I still don’t want to break the stream of consciousness storytelling, so there won’t be any time skips, but I’m working on moving through the days a bit faster if there’s really not much to linger on. As for the outline changes, I’ve actually changed one particular big serious event, which had a ripple effect that basically made an entire arc I had irrelevant, so the stuff from that got squished in with another one… I think the pacing will be much better this way, especially when you consider that I’m updating like twice a year instead of twice a month now.
