Ok. I think I found a problem with the alternating thing. A big one.
And that's motivation.
Yes, alternating between All Stars and Crystalized means that neither one could get left behind. But at the same time, if I put one on hold to work on the other, and I don't have the motivation to work on the one I haven't put on hold, then both suffer. There was a 6 month gap between Forever and Ever and Confusion Without Delay. Crystalized suffered the same thing with a 6 month gap between Far From Home and Twisted Whispers.
Of course another issue is time and the fact that now I write my stories on my laptop rather than my phone, which is convenient for having a place to keep my stories on, but not so much writing them, as I can't really take my laptop everywhere. Not everyday.
So yea, that's why things have slowed down for All Stars and Crystalized. I'll try to pick up the pace (I'm already at around 900 words for Chucklesome Trucks BTW and I haven't even gotten to Rebecca taking the trucks yet), but I may not be consistent with anything (saying that even though I never had consistency in the first place), so it may be a bit. Hopefully I'll get Chucklesome Trucks done around July, but no promises.
