Weekly Update (Or is it...)

So you may have noticed a bunch of different things coming out in the recent days.

Even with life going crazy, I've been putting in work. My biggest problem is I can't sleep. Combine that with my brain always going and I've been getting up some days at 1am or 2am and writing for a few hours. This has allowed me to get a little bit more work than usual in.

So let's jump into the updates:

Ul1 - Book 10

I'm pretty sure I finished book 10. Going to give it a quick read through, make some edits on my end, and then decide from there. I could do a few more things, but my honest answer is... I think it's hard to keep going on the pace I'm doing because I'd need to write another 40k-70k words and then we're looking at a 210k+ book 1 (currently have 163k+ words). So in the desire to keep books coming out at regular intervals, I'll probably end where I'm at and just start up with the next 'action' side I've got planned.

Book 11 will start in the coming weeks as I do some more outlining and get book 10 finished. Excited for the next part of the series. I'm trying to manage the time skips but eventually we're going to hit periods of 500/1000 year time skips. Why? Gods... sure that won't happen till WAAAY later in the series, but one has to consider the element of time and how that works when one measures time based on 100,000 years sometimes.

I guess we'll see if I pull it off when I attempt it.

For those who have asked - I have another potential "arc" after Arc 2 ends. Honestly I could stop at Arc 2 and be happy , but I also know some might want what comes after that (no clues). Just know if there's enough desire and demand, I'll spin that series up also (which is crazy my brain has stuff like that already planned inside it).

Loopbreaker (Time Loop Story)

The full 80 chapters are already loaded on Patreon. You don't have to do anything but sit back and enjoy. It really feels good to have more than one story going again because I feel it's better for you all to get more for your membership. Thank you to everyone who supported me during these hard times when life didn't let me write how I was used to. it means a ton.

Let me know your thoughts as you read stuff. The story is already sent for edits as the goal is for it to release Dec 1st. Now I'm just looking for a narrator that might do it justice.

Battle Through the Nine Realms

So you might have noticed 2 new chapters. I'm working on the story again and love getting a chance to get back to that world. Einar and the gang have some big things coming and I'm up to 60k+ words in book 3. Goal is to hopefully have it finished by end of this month if I can stay on schedule.

Thank you again to for those who waited and trusted me on this. It's a story I love and hope to get to you all soon.

The Girl Who Killed a God.

Been working on this with editor and daughter for a while. It's a TOTAL redo... I think I'm pushed back about 8 months from when I had hoped to have it ready but that's life sometimes. All I can do now is keep plugging away. I'm considering releasing some of the chapters for feedback from you all.

Otherwise - that's about it. We'll ignore the days my brain gets an idea in it and I have to write 1 chapter or something. I've got a bunch of other stories I think would hit well on market and for readers, but I want to keep the stories I've started going. I hate unfinished series.

Someone asked about my Dragon Rider story. I have 1-2 books in mind but honestly they are so far on the backburner I'm not sure I'll get to them. Something major would have to happen in the reading department of the stories but since I doubt it will, those will probably be set back for a while.

I think that's about it for now! Thanks again for all the support and I hope you enjoy the stuff coming your way!

Comments

Thanks for the work! Honestly Iโ€™d like a scene at the excel spreadsheet(s) you use for calculating stats and and especially that chapter on when they were discussing on sparks and betting and (yeah my eyes glazed over a bit just like Fowlโ€™s did). ๐Ÿ˜†

Invictus Red

Nice! Just started reading red rising well on book 3 but if you read that would you ever write something like that in the future.
