Banishing Mistakes and Eradicating Procrastination

The Watch has been a staple of this blog since the very beginning. That's how it all began. My main objective way back in 2015 was uploaded only parts of The Watch and nothing more, but the blog naturally developed into what it is today. The Watch is a story I love, but there are far too many mistakes.

Editing is a necessary evil. It can become tedious and make other tasks look appealing. I have been suffering from mild procrastination for a couple of years. Last year due to problems with the blog and personal difficulties, it was the strongest it had ever been. As a result, the quality of each part dipped significantly. Whenever I attempted to edit, that sensation of tedium started to kick in. It Eventually progressed to where I wouldn't look at a part thoroughly enough. There would be a few problems here and there that I would take out, but ultimately upload it with many mistakes intertwined within and then go and do something else entirely.

This year, I have developed a system to eradicate procrastination, and it is holding strongly. I've written so much more in these last few weeks than I have done in such a long while. I'm more content now things are getting done, and so I will use my newfound motivation to accomplish what I started: Edit my parts. I will banish as many mistakes as I can, if not, all of them. But it will take time to make sure each part as much attention as it deserves. This decision did not come lightly, but I feel it is essential for the blog and myself so I don't fall back down again.

For the time being, until I'm satisfied I've edited enough and each part is as I had foreseen way back in 2015, I will put The Watch on pause. There will be no new part uploaded until I've successfully edited each one that already has been released. I believe this will improve readability and the enjoyment with the story.

I will announce when I'm about to release a new part, but in the meantime, expect a few changes either drastic or subtle with each part. I refuse to be defeated by procrastination.
