Over 4000 words done on the next chapter. Just needs an end and cleaning up and we should be good. When I get around to it...
          
          Its nothing too special though. Just William settling in. I have a rough draft of the chapter after this done too, so fingers crossed it's quicker.

Hello, I hope you don't mind me taking a little of your time. I know you have been, and are currently writing about the Maple Monarchy in Azur lane, and so I wanted to get your opinion on something that is causing me an awful lot of strife.
          
          I am currently working on my own Maple Monarchy centered story, but have gotten wrapped deep into a spiralling pit of alternate history. I have gone back and am rewriting all of our naval history in order to make plausible the navy I wanted in my fanfiction. I have gotten so wrapped up in it, that I've realized only now, that in doing that, I've lost almost all of our historic vessels. This wasn't something I was too concerned about, until I took another look at your first Maple Monarchy book, and someone else's story based around Canada and the Maple Monarchy. I've now begun second guessing everything that I've been doing the past several months, and left with the question I now ask your own answer for;
          
          Is it worth losing the ships that we Canadians know for mine, and just creating a whole new universe for people to try to catch on to? Or should I just return to reality, damn the feesability, and see how far I can reasonably push our historic navy?. 
          
          I don't want, nor excpect you to answer this for me, but if you wouldn't mind, I would love to hear your opinion on the matter.
          
          Thank you so much for your time,

So a quick update, as your probably wondering what's taking so long and why there's been a bit of a pause in my regular releases.
          
          To put it straight forward. The words just aren't coming out. And I'm lacking the emotion needed in the chapter, right now its rather rushed and bland at the moment.
          
          Another thing is how I've been writing. Normally, all this time I've been writing on a laptop, laying on my bed. Now for the longest time this was the most comfortable way, but now that I'm getting a bit older, and (crazily despite only being in my 20s) my posture is beginning to absolutely kill me, and laying on the bed the way I do when I write just makes it worse . Because of that, obviously, I can't really write, as im far too uncomfortable.
          
          So I've ordered a desk along with a chair and we'll see how that goes, I'm sure it will be better. But that means I'm not going to waste time (no offence) writing while I wait for it, when I could use that time to do other things.
          
          Speaking of other things, life has also become distracting as of late and I've had to put a little focus on that. Easily understandable.
          
          Any time I do try to write, I'll only get an average of 300 words. To make it worse, they are very straightforward words, very bland, and lack personality in the P.O.Vs narration. 
          
          Still. . . It is pretty much finished now. But it needs to be seriously fixed. As for when I'll get it out, there is no time frame. Could be next week, could be the week after. Preferably NOT next month. But I won't promise, sorry. 
          
          To put even simpler. I've just been far too distracted lately by a multitude of different factors and, along with a small lack in interest, it has been preventing me from writing most days of each passing week. 
          
          It shouldn't be too much longer before it's out so don't worry too much. As for if the quality will be to what you expect, hopefully it's close and I don't get frustrated and release it with little editing. 
          
          Take care, talk to you soon.

Holy shit, what a game. We're still in it!

Well...here we go again.

That was a good save Sammy.

@NA-213456 I don't doubt you'll get around to it soon, I've been missing Battleship of her RCF. ;)

Well, three years running and still kicking. That's a surprise to me, that's for sure. 
          During COVID, I started Shallow Waves out of pure boredom. I never expected it to go as far as it has.
          
          I never planned to take it far either. At the time, it was just a tool to keep my mind focused, but now it's evolved into a hobby.
          
          Its writing in the beginning was certainly rough, but I soldiered on and built that skill well into what it is now. 
          
          Managing a story's plot line is a definite struggle (especially when you forget some key moments that you specifically set up a future arc or just forget important info on its own).
          
          Thanks to you and the enjoyment you've found in my books, the story has been able to carry on and run wild. Now, let's hope to get through the fourth as well.
          
          Thanks to you all.

Hello everyone, I just want to announce that I will be editing Shallow Waves along with still Writing the second book.
          
          The editing won't be a complete overhaul, what I'll be doing is just fixing mistakes, plot holes, and some things I didn't like as well as adding more to the chapters and lengthening those that need it. Some stuff may be changed and hopefully a little better writing will be added here and there

You know something, I forgot to ask but can we get an extra chapter detailing everything that was said on the Ice when Haida got in the fight then sent to the box before and after the first punch? Just for shits and giggles. :P
