Slight delay in the chapters, but they are coming back tomorrow!

Hey everyone!

Quick heads-up: the chapters will be dropping tomorrow instead of last week-end. I know some of you were expecting them sooner, but there is a bit of a story behind the delay.

I went on a bit of a writing spree. Like, full tilt, hours and hours at a time, because I wanted to give you a big chapter dump all at once. Somewhere along the way I pushed a little too hard, ignored the early twinges, and ended up with RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) in both hands. At first it was just this weird, almost benign ache that I figured would go away if I powered through. But it slowly turned into mild inflammation, and that was the point where I knew I needed to stop and let my body win the argument.

It is not anything dramatic, honestly, still pretty mild and nothing to panic about. But RSI is one of those things that can go from annoying to surgery if you do not listen to the warning signs. So I have been forcing myself to slow down, rest, and switch over to voice dictation. It works, but let’s just say it makes for some hilarious typos, lol.

The good news is I have invested in the whole ergonomic arsenal: new chair, proper keyboard, wrist support, the works. So when my hands are back in action I will be able to write without wrecking myself. In the meantime, the chapters are already written and just getting polished up.

Even this message was written mostly with dictation, so I am getting the hang of it better and better since it is not the first time this year. But tomorrow I will be back to posting chapters more regularly again. Thanks so much for bearing with me, I really appreciate your patience and support!
