Man I screwed the pooch this October...

To further elaborate on the title, I set out a simple plan of release my first anthology in September and then The Hazardous Halloween of '04 in October. But due to my poor planning and management, I spent the first three weeks of October working on my anthology and Halloween week working on Hazardous Halloween...
Meaning I've gotta delay these projects for another year... Part of the problem too was the fact that I didn't plan out the scenario for the Dream Site chapter of the anthology. If anything my take away from that is not to overthink a story and just write what feels good and go from there. Another part was not working on the anthology throughout the summer like I sought to do.
Thankfully this won't happen next year and I'll have both titles out on time.

@Hanyouyomi You can't assume that all members of the site follow your posts religiously. That means that all posts should be written in a way that everyone who comes to your site for the first time can follow. You don't have to repeat everything, of course, but should give a short summary if necessary.

Yeah I've kept that in mind since you expressed confusion to what I was talking about. It's gonna come in handy with future posts about my writing gripes and woes.

That's my fault, because since I mentioned that I write and self-publish comics prior, I assumed anyone reading would know that's what I'm talking about.
But yeah "The Hazardous Halloween of 04" was a Halloween comic-book mini-series I came up with back in 2004, but didn't make because making a comic book series of that magnitude was daunting at the time.(I mean I was a high school freshmen...) So feeling ready to tackle it, I did so last year only to delay it due to poor planning. A mistake I repeated this year.

I wish you the best of luck with that. Now you know where you went wrong, you can correct it.

Yeah I can take what I learned from this with every big project going forward, which I was going to do starting today since I have a Christmas project I'mma finish for December.
