This is the fifth day of the double-voting period. I know everyone's enthusiasm for casting monthly votes is waning, growing more and more exhausted — and I feel the same way. The last few chapters have been introducing a major plot arc that comes later, so writing them has been grueling and painful. But during the double-voting period, I have to keep up the burst updates and can't waver. I can only push through, and push through again.
Tomorrow is Monday, and I'll be heading back to work. But I won't go back on my promise of three updates — please rest easy about that.
The pursuers behind us are getting closer, fewer than fifty votes ahead. I'd really appreciate it if everyone could dig through your monthly votes and find whatever's left to support us. We need to hold onto second place on the new book rankings!
Your Squid is begging for monthly votes!
