omg fuck it i can't wait

Quick survey: Would you rather I post the sequel's chapters one by one whenever they're ready (which might mean long delays in between chapters depending on what life throws at me (new boyfriends, travel, spontaneous complete longitudinal dental fractures and associated surgeries, executive orders making my job a horrible shitshow by cutting half of our funding for the year which I now have to work overtime to replace), I'm thinking like 2-3 weeks) 
          Or would you prefer if I worked on a few chapters so I can make sure I have a hefty backlog and then start posting regularly?

Thank youu for the following 

Hi all! Just wanted to wish you all a happy new year and apologize for how late the sequel to DTOD is. I'm still battling with my mental and physical health and that all has impacted my creativity until now. I know a lot of you have been waiting for almost a year now, but I'd rather postpone the book than post anything I'm not fully satisfied with. 
          
          I've been diagnosed with moderate depression (I'm one point away from severe depression on the Beck inventory but I'm impressed with how resilient I've been) and broke an 8th tooth on Christmas Eve (which puts me back on painkillers and a soft food diet until we can figure out if/how to save it, please help me I have lost 35lbs), but I'm happy to say that with the help of awesome dentists and psychologists (yes, plural, in the words of the iconic Ian Bernardo, "ask one of my therapists") I'm starting to feel like myself again. These past 6 months have been a greyscale blur but I'm glad I can see some light again. 
          
          All this whining to say, I've just started to seriously get back into writing, and hopefully the first chapter of the sequel should come out in the next few weeks. So grab your friends, wear your unbuttoned Hawaiian shirts,
          
          I'm back baby

Hii!! I finished DTOD and wow !! You are like the female version of Shakespeare, exploiting stereotypes, arousing expectations, alternatively fulfilling and frustrating our preconceptions...I am looking forward to read the sequel !

Hey!! How've you been doing?? I know, I know. I dropped off the face of the earth practically forever. So much going on. But I've been thinking about you and hoping you're doing okay!

I just finished drugs and Treasons ....and wow
          I didn't expect it at all 
          it is a beautiful book and l had to wait to read because l was writing my final exams...BUT the first thing l did when l got home was read the next chapter either cry with Sarah, laugh with her or try to think what could happen,  never in my life of living did l think that would happen
          (´TωT`) now l am going to look for the next part! 

good story

Hey Coati, I have loved your book ‘Drugs.. and Treasons’, super entertaining and psychological. Thanks for responding to comments, appreciate you taking the time to connect!

I feel like I could be an honorary dentist at this point given the amount of dental procedures and associated complications I've been through.
          
          FUN FACT your teeth have LIGAMENTS and the reason why I was in so much pain wasn't necessarily because my nerves were dangling out my broken teeth (although it did contribute quite a bunch, but it's all over now because endodontists are truly god's angels on earth) but also because I had SPRAINED VIRTUALLY EVERY SINGLE TOOTH STILL HANGING IN MY JAW. That's a thing. My dentist said it. I hope you sleep well tonight knowing there is a non zero chance this may happen to you in the future
          
          I spent a total amount of 36 hours pain free this weekend and that was great. but DID YOU KNOW that after trauma to the bone (such as your dentists using your jawbone as a "fulcrum" which is the support used by a lever (aka a sharp pick stuck deeply into your decapitated tooth) to yank the damn thing out of your silly little gums) you can grow one or more cute little BONE SPICULES which are small shards of skeleeeeeeeetal tissueeee that stick out of your gums and make your life a fucking living hell. My bone was just so mad it said nope I'm outta here and just sprouted random needles which I wish I could pull out with tweezers but my dearly beloved dentist said no this is live tissue still attached to your jawbone try your best not to hack away at it or you might go into SEPSIS. I'm still working on my self control but that meat cleaver on my kitchen counter is looking very sexy right now
          
          on a positive note I am off painkillers (they worsened my asthma and I all but died dragging 42lbs of cat litter from the elevator to my flat) and this lovely mental breakdown is completely independent from the influence of any mind-altering chemicals
