Okay, I think I know what's happening
I can speak for experience on this, but it's like putting someone with ADHD in the middle of a room and showing them several tasks that need to be completed. He has original content, character sheets, remaking ideas, existing render additions that he thinks will make it even "that much better", and his infinity harem has gotten to the point where you need four years of Excel experience just to keep track of "Moncree's Many Mothers-to-Be". He then spends the first block of time (could be an entire day) spinning in a circle trying to decide where to start.
He randomly picks something, and then puts in five minutes to an hour into one aspect. Attention slips, and he thinks of something on another task that he wants to get started before he forgets it because he's already forgotten to write his ideas down for seven thousand, six hundred and twelve other "this is an AWESOME idea" moments that faded into nothingness.
Instead of hiring help (or even soliciting volunteers who would gladly assist just to get experience or peeks at the storyline), he finds himself anywhere between a week or two, to a month or three, feeling like he needs to update to evade the "Abandoned" tag once again, and that's where we get this "Here's an update about me not having an update" once again.
