    It's a sin to be a lazy author any day of the year.

    It's the holidays and authors should be celebrating whatever they want. I should be writing too, but I decided to make pasta instead

    If we go deeper, the sin of sloth applies to all not doing something.

    If you're doing anything else than laying around all day (example: flirting around with significant other, cooking or even just window shopping), your sins are absolved.

    You can't be worse than me. I stopped for like 3 months because of school. I'm too afraid to look at the notifications on WB.

    With the perfect excuse of Finals, I've been resting from writing... But after that, yes, holidays and winter break are no excuse... TAT
    Besides, readers have already threatened to kidnap me twice.

    If you wanted to be extraordinary, why would you still be doing ordinary things?

    Nah mate. I've stopped writing for half a year and people thought i was really busy in life. I just make excuses so that i could sleep more and play ML all day. Your not the only one whose sinned. If my readers ever find out that i've been doing all day, they might start raiding my home.

    It's fine as long as you have some stocked chapters ready to be uploaded :p

    Honestly though, it's holidays. Authors need their vacation too! One step closer to Hiatus!

    Nope, A lot of publishing companies are on break during the holidays so why shouldn't the authors be. I know most authors have chapters done in advance to make up for it. Especially weekly serializations.

    Technically in general lazyness is a sin. After all, the level of success you can achieve is inversely proportional, among other factors, to your level of sloth. Then again pretty sure everyone is more easygoing in holidays.
