Middle of August Status Update!

Aug 12, 2019 | Progress | 2 comments

TL;DR: Life is continuing to happen. In fact, this has been a very rough year for me.

Relatedly, I burned out on C&D2 not once, but multiple times. In fact, for a couple weeks I was so burned out on every form of writing I wrote nothing whatsoever.

But currently, things are getting better! I am still recovering from the last C&D2 burnout, and I am presently working on a different project. So…

The bad news: C&D2 is probably not going to happen this year.

The good news: I am rapidly working on a new project. I don’t want to give any hard and fast dates, but it’s coming along!

What is this new project? Still a secret, but it’s a similar style to C&D, although it’s not a LitRPG and it’s WAAAAY darker. Somewhere in the NA range.

After it, I intend to finish C&D2, this time with a much happier attitude towards writing and success, and then we’ll probably be going between the two series for a while. But right now, I’m concentrating on getting this new project finished without burning out on it, too.

End of Year Progress Update!

Matthew P. Schmidt My BlogSo what's been happening? I've decided to focus mostly on C&D2 for the time being. Ushabti Online and Seven Princedoms are shelved for the moment, unfortunately. My secret project, briefly alluded to, is not shelved, but due to logistical...
