Hello again.

It's been another season, and time for another progress update. Unfortunately, progress has been much slower compared to winter - some personal matters cropped up starting around the beginning of March, and that has taken a lot of my time, attention, and energy, and before I knew it, several weeks had gone with no progress, unfortunately breaking the goal I had for myself in the last update.

Progress has still been present, to some degree - minor additions and corrections have been made here and there, and a few scenes have been written as well - but unfortunately other than this, progress has largely stalled, though I'm currently working full force to get regular progress resumed.

In retrospect, putting as much focus as I did on maintaining constant progress every single week even while dealing with major happenings in my own life may have been a hindrance. Though I still believe I can achieve that level of consistency, making it the focus and goal, ironically, makes it more difficult to achieve, more out of reach. Consistency is important, but difficult to maintain by being overly strict with myself; the hardest time during this past season was definitely the next few weeks after the first week I missed, and it would have been easier to resume progress had I been more lenient and understanding with myself. If nothing else, I've learnt from this experience and can use that to help keep my workflow more stable and consistent in future.

I apologize for the lack of much good news with this update, and I hope to be able to bring much better news come the autumn. I hope you all are continuing to do well in these often tough times, and thank you for continuing to follow this project.
