Sometimes I draft enough chapters to publish for a few weeks in one sitting. After I run out of those chapters, I think hard about what comes next and what the characters are thinking about. That's why it took a little time to update a new chapter. I only drafted one more chapter and I hope I write more before I update again and pray I don't go into a slump.
And if I didn't update for a long time that means I forgot to think about my characters....*coughValleyHighcough*
