Update 10/14/25

Just giving a little update to you guys. I think we have finally ironed out what we have planned for Growth 4.5. Part of the difficulty has been the events of 4.6 requiring us to ensure that everything is done tight and nice now.

So now we're in the production phase, with a lot of chunks that are needing reworking and integration, and then filling in the rest. I'm using today to try and put a lot more effort into getting as much done as rationally possible, because my calender is pret...

4.5 is Underway

Sorry for the radio silence as of late, been busy juggling working my gig job and everything else. Have also been having issues with Google Docs on the mobile, so it has slowed down some of my progress.

Anyways, here is the next chapter that is underway.

Another Update

Just giving you guys an update, for those of you not in the Discord itself. But the progress on the next chapter is down to two scenes. We're currently resting around 9000 words.

I do apologize in the time it is taking us. I have been suffering from COVID since my return from my trip, and while it's largely gone now, I'm left with a nasty cough that doesn't seem to want to go away.

Furthermore, for those of you unaware, I have been unemployed since January. Well, the money has r...

Update

Sorry for the radio silence the last week and half. Been on a cruise with family (don't ask me how it went). Suffice to saynot a lot has gotten done.

We're currently around 4700 words on next chapter. I get back home tomorrow night (right now at a Miami Hotel), so there's hope I can actually get a bunch of stuff done before I have to get cracking.

What Type of Dog Will Paige Take as a Companion

So, as we have worked on Growth 4.2, We found something to engage with you all on. In this case, Paige is about to get a dog for her healing from Bitch, and we'd thought you'd like to have some input on what kind of dog she is getting.

In light of that, here you all go.

Update on 4.2

I know some of you were expecting the chapter today, per my chapter per two weeks. Unfortunately, IRL and mental boom has kinda had an impact upon my writing production. We're on the last scene, but it'll be a little bit longer. I want to have this chapter out before I'm dragged kicking and screaming on the family cruise.

Growth 4.1 is Posted Early

Decided to drop the chapter a day early, as I will be out of the office until late. Hopefully you all enjoy it. I'll be linking 4.2 shortly.

Growth 4.1 Link

With the posting of Interlude 4.x, we're moving on to the next chapter, which is nearly done. Enjoy what we have currently.

Update on Growth 4.x

Sorry for the radio silence the last week or so, between trying to hammer down this chapter and then taking my brother to ACEN in Chicago, I've really not had the time to talk with you all.

Frankly, I'm disappointed in myself, as I was trying to ensure that we had a chapter ready yesterday, but ACEN kinda ate up my weekend in which I was going to power through it.

So, we'll be looking at posting this chapter hopefully tomorrow as we are on the last scene, and it only requires a ...

Sprout 3.5 Part 2 is LIVE

Posted and ready to roll on all the usual sites. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Interlude 4.x

Here is Interlude 4.x. It's currently underway, with Growth 4.1 nearing completion.

Update 5/4/25

So, just a few updates here for everyone and some clerical stuff.

First off, thank you all for your support. I'm eternally grateful for it. You guys don't know what it means that we can put out artwork and stuff for this story to provide you all with a view through the mind's eye for scenes that have been put to document.

Secondly, the clerical stuff. Tomorrow, Noon Central Standard Time, Sprout 3.5 Part 2 will be going live on all the websites that it has previously been posted...

Story Update and Commission Completion

After some hiccups, we finally are nearing the finish line. Looking to be a 36K long work. The decision has been made we'll be splitting it up into at least two chunks for reading over time. My goal is to have the chapter done up today or tomorrow at the latest and have it up for review.

Moving on, Mikezzzzz has finished the commission that you guys have helped support, and here it is. One is with and the other is without text.

I'm so grateful for your support, and hopefully w...

Update on Story and Commission

So, right now we are working on the story and currently resting at around 18K words. We still have SIX scenes still to do. This is looking to quite possibly be a 40K nightmare, so there is an ongoing discussion between myself and the team on whether we should split up the chapter and release it over a period of time in order to prevent you guys on having to suffer in a feast/famine type situation.

I'll provide an update once we decide on the path going forward. But I'm hoping to hav...

Recent Communications with Mike

I figured since some of you are not part of the Discord, you would want to know where your money is going and to ensure that I'm not trying to pull something. At least, that's what I would expect if some guy made some nebulous pledge to only use your money for commissions.

So I'm attaching the recent communications I have had with Mike. I have edited out his last name and email, but you can at least see the last two recent communications between us. If you would like to see the full...

Update on Commission

I just finished an hour ago paying for the invoice for the first art piece of An Everdistant Horizon. It will be the mural piece. The hope is it to have it by the end of the month.

Snippet from Taylor/Amy/Jean Scene. (Work in Progress. Likely to Be Changed in Next Draft)

She then placed down the tablet and stylus, “Have you talked to Amy?”

“Excuse me,” I asked, not quite believing what I just heard. Was she really serious? She had just asked me yesterday and she was pressing me now?!

“Asked me what,” the other person in the room asked, and I glanced towards her. Honestly, I wanted to scream at Jean. Part of Amy’s issues with her home life was the fact that they were telling her what to do and taking advantage of her gift. And Jean wa...

Lone Man On A Mountain I Has Been Posted

So, for those of you who may not be in my Discord, there had been talk about putting up a Sidestory to accompany the latest chapter. I'm happy to announce that it has been posted across all mediums that I frequent.

Work has also begun on Sprout 3.5. As of last night, we were resting at 1300 words. Suffice to say, this chapter may actually be longer than 3.4 Part 2, considering the material we need to cover (and seem to keep adding).

Anyways, stay tuned. Once we get some finaliza...

Welp, Here We Are

After months/years of deliberating on the creation an actual Patreon for me as a writer, I finally buckled and gave in. I want to honestly use this as a means to do commissions for my stories, specifically so all of you can envision what I'm seeing in the story. And maybe give some visual additions to the world that is being built.

Other than that, not much to say. I may post a few snippets here and there from the next chapter so you guys have a feeling that things are being done and ...
