I just spent the past few hours typing up the next chapter. I was almost finished, the last few lines of almost 4k words. And I hit the wrong button. Everything gone because I hadn't saved at all while typing it up. I feel like an absolute idiot right now. I still have the chapter, mind you. It's just on paper as that's where I write my drafts. But I've lost all the work and edits I put into the thing. Not much I can do now though but start over again. The Chapter will come out soon, I promise. As soon as I can re-type everything. for now though, a break is in order.

  Everything down here is just be ranting to fill space, honestly. I need to fill the wordcount somehow, you know?

  I honestly feel kind of irritated with myself, not being more careful with my work. To be fair, I was typing it all up in one go, so I didn't think much of saving it or anything. Oh well, not much I can do about it now, is there? I hope that the recent delays and failures on my part haven't caused those who are actually keeping track of my story to lose too much interest. I still do everything I can to get a chapter out every week. Maybe I should remove the upload days from the description, then I maybe wouldn't feel so bad about missing my deadline. I honestly have no idea. I've been working hard on the background stuff for the story as well and I actually have a really good idea where the story is going to go once we get out of the Tutorial. So like, other than my atrocious upload timing and lack of a backlog, everything is looking good. I actually learned that deleting these chapters can affect visibility and stuff so I won't be getting rid of this one. All my horrors, on display forever. probably. I have no idea what to put here. It's just rambling so maybe I just put down random words? Speaking of words, I've noticed I say the word 'ornate' a lot. I'm not actually sure why, but I seem to say it so often. Ornate this, ornate that. I should probably look up some synonyms for it. Speaking of Synonyms, I always try to vary how I refer to the characters in my story. Lilac, for example I call her, Lilac, The Mage, The Pyromancer and, when writing from Lily's Point of view, Sister. Chloe is just Chloe and The MArtialist mostly. I could also go with The Bezerker or something? She does fight very aggressively. Ashley Is also mostly just The Healer. Nah, can't think of anything else to put down. I'll just fill the rest of the space and go to sleep. Here we go! Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, I lost the Game, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies, Puppies.
