Patreon Update 12-8-23

Alright everyone!

I hope you enjoyed AO2. It wasn’t as climactic or individually packaged as something like my DJ books. Yet, I felt if I continued I’d have to start explaining things and setting up for another big section.

All of you would love for me to just make the book bigger, but I made the decision to cut there and the next part is another book. I sort of cracked the world and a greater plot line open by introducing blessings from other gods and including the pirates. Not sure how far I’ll take that for now.

We aren’t done with Avente/Garrish/Zenovia the war still going and Ard is going to step into that at some point. Not to mention we have the duel and Carmilla’s takeover to thwart. (There’s a lot still out there to do here! My notebook for book 3 is stuffed!). In my attempt to make it more 'epic' fantasy, there is a lot happening in the world at large and at some points Ard is a smaller piece of that. I think we'll see some great growth from Ard in book 3 and a triumphant return from his time in the mountains.

That and I didn’t get as far as I was expecting in the series, yet again. However, the journey we are going on is fun as fuck, so we’ll keep going.

That said, I’m calling in the 7 extra chapters I gave you in the last week and having no commitment for chapters this next week. We are heading to the hospital this afternoon and he’s coming out one way or another.

My focus is going to be on them, but I may write, babies and tired mothers nap a lot. I like to stay busy. I have a few small fun ideas that I might dabble with.

On the 16th, I’ll return to Dungeon Diving 201 (book 5) and start posting those chapters for you.

Otherwise, projects are abound, but no significant update for you all.

PS - There's a Community Poll for Reddit and the other communities that Maikeruu manages for all of us. He wants you to vote for the best new reader experience. He shamelessly tried to get me to drum up a competition against Annabelle. Seriously, just vote for whoever you think is the best new reader experience to get people who wander into our communities to stick around.
