130,000 words.
Two days off.
One day without an update.
An average of 4,300 words a day. Updates have been weak.
But there was nothing I could do about it. My back pain was unbearable, so I switched directly from writing while seated to writing while standing.
Writing while standing did greatly ease my back pain. Those who have been following along can probably tell that I've barely complained about back pain at all this month.
But another problem is concentration. Standing is actually quite tiring too—I can only keep it up for fifty minutes at most, then I have to sit down and rest for twenty minutes.
Anyone who has written a book knows that after fifty minutes, you're just getting into the groove when you get interrupted. It's pretty frustrating.
But there's no helping it. On top of all the miscellaneous things disrupting me, my writing speed has become even slower.
Anyway, I'm still adapting, but once I've adjusted, I'll still work hard to add more updates.
The major climax is coming soon, but I still need to do a little buildup first. Once my condition and emotions are in place, I'll go all out. I owe everyone 1,000 monthly votes, and I still haven't paid back the 800 from last month—that makes nine chapters. As for bonus chapters for recommendation votes, we'll add those slowly.
Honestly, this book still having over a thousand monthly votes three or four months after going premium really makes me deeply grateful for your support. All I can do here is bow.
