A Path To Freedom

by Vinzelles

Kamakura Orochi, despite being an orphan and somewhat of a loner, leads a fairly decent life, and yet he's unsatisfied by it. One evening a black haired woman appears before him and asks for his help. This is the encounter that will change everything... (Hiatus, gonna try to write something different to get back my groove. Details in the latest chapter)

26. A Slight Delay (Update kinda)

Hello, Vinzelles here. Sorry, no story chapter yet.

I know it's been more than two weeks by now, and the reasons are several.

First, shortly after the release of my latest chapter, I've been very busy with real life stuff. This went on until... let's see... the 10th of September. Afterwards, well... I got distracted by a few things, mostly a certain SMRPG hack and making videos for my Youtube channel. Lately I've dedicated a bit more time than the usual amount to it, because I've got a few things hanging and waiting to be finished.

But the last reason is the most important. As predicted, I'm having trouble with the draft: namely, Chapter 5 happens to be the lowest point of the entire arc story-wise, and I refuse to publish it the way it is.

So I'm thinking of rewriting the chapter from scratch. It won't take very long due to the fact that my chapters, as you might know, are relatively short, and I've also prepared a little check-list with all the things that I want to write in it. And finally, of course, I can still find a base of sorts in this potentially scrapped Chapter 5 I'm talking about.

I could've started writing it sooner, but this damn chapter was like an unwanted child you don't want to deal with if at all possible, and I've always been reluctant to modify it. So yeah, I came up with this simple idea that will hopefully allow me to overcome this mental block I've barricated the path with.

I'll try to get it out in the next coming days, but I'm still not sure I'll be able to start writing before Monday. It will come though, I promise.

In the meantime, I can tell you that holy shit, I'm going all out with the original Arc 4. The story is gradually forming, one sentence at a time, and it looks rock solid for once. Currently, I've finished Chapter 4 and I plan to start the 5th as soon as I finish the "other" 5th. I can guarantee that right now, it almost looks like a proper story! XD

Maybe I'm actually good at this! Although I doubt you guys agree, haha.

That's all for now. I will see you soon, I swear! Stay shiny! (Code MENT reference)
