It's been too long since I last sat down and worked on a lengthy piece of writing.
My game has taken priority lately but it's taking longer to get out the door than what I originally wanted.

Questions for authors who published at least one book in a planned series:
After the the first one is released, is there a set amount of time you take a break before jumping into the next one for that series?
Do you prefer to work on a project unrelated to that series then jump back later?

I have reached another game development crossroads...
A) Find a free pre-made system that handles achievement progress for me so that I can spend dev time working on other things. I'll just need to credit those who worked on it.
B) Build an entire achievement system from scratch.

I think I've learned enough magical spells to teach a triangle how to roll.
Not only that, but I've also taught a stick how to do flips.
