So I'm rethinking my schedule, because while it works great during the week, my weekends aren't nearly so easy to schedule out. I think my plan to just adjust my prior schedule isn't the most efficient.
I mean, January 2019 production is definitely going to be the highest I've ever done in a month. But I want to keep the releases consistent. I know how frustrating it is to expect a release and not get one.
So what I'm thinking is that I will aim for three chapters a day for Monday...

“WHAT IN THE LIVING FUCK!?!” Ophelia bellowed. The stone building shook around the three of them with the force of the expletive. Shal kept his face studiously neutral as he allowed the noise to wash over him. Aylwind’s only response was a dull grunt. Both men watched as Ophelia waved a hand and...

Turns out that the extra day made me extend these two chapters.
Clutching her chest, Alta did her best not to glare at her head scientist while she spoke. The woman was jumpy enough as it is. “Are you sure? It has been armored? If in the approach we are attacked-”
“As best we can,...

Apologies, no chapters tonight.
We are really down to it, so I'm trying to make sure I gather all the plot lines together. Just a little much.
But I made the final outline, or the end of Tellus outline. Even if I run over a few chapters, we should be finishing up this time next week ^_^.

Randidly smiled like a wolf as his longship scraped upon the mist-shrouded shore. Others might fear Wights hiding amongst the rocky outcroppings, but Randidly could feel the thin threads of their energy as clear as day. He knew every last one of the fuckers within the surrounding one hundred kilometer...

In addition to being fast, Silo’s main advantage was that he had two weapons. For all that much of his fine control was lost with his new weapons, it was easy to cover for that when you possessed the ability to thrust a second time with an independent spear a split second after your first attack was easil...

To Shal’s surprise, he recognized the figure he found when he investigated the nearby scream. “Azriel?”
His disciple’s rival was sitting in a smoking crater. Wincing and holding her ribs, she forced her body to sit up and bow stiffly to him. Surrounding her, three twisted and broken bodies of Witch ...

Three days later, Randidly stood on the bow of his longship and looked at the foggy shore of the Death School. Some of the more seafaring among the crews had warned that the Death School was an inhospitable place to land, but Randidly was still surprised by the shore; it looked to him like the exposed botto...

I do think I've improved quite a bit at juggling plot lines. I think my main mistake from this arc was muddling up what each character knows about the situation. Let's start weaving all the information together so we all are on the same page, shall we?
With deliberate steps, Randidly asc...

Randidly had to admit to himself that if he took the time to meticulously construct a boat, it would look a lot like this. Trees and leafy shrubs were the first thing that assaulted his senses when he laboriously clambered up the absurdly long ladder to the deck of the ship above. Bright flowers and f...

The Soulless behemoth bellowed its fury. The former High King of the Earth Golems just snorted. With a step, he had crossed the distance to the behemoth and slammed his palm into its torso. The bright yellow carapace cracked, pink juices oozing around the jagged cracks in the monster’s natural armor.

Away from home this weekend, so these two might be a little less edited than the chapters have been the past two weeks. Back to normal tomorrow.
Randidly shook his head. “I can’t stay for the same reason that you need to stay. You have more to do in the tournament. I do not.”

Shal stood with his hands behind his back. “My disciple is gone, as you requested. Are you prepared to tell me why?”
The room was cold and bare. Stone floors and a still hearth kept the temperature low. Which, considering the steadily cooling days, pushed the room toward uncomfortable. For the past several days, he had willingly mad...

The woman and tall man who Darrune had told to gather an army stood nervously in a sloping field. They exchanged meaningful glances. Around them, the crowd slowly grew.
They had, through small channels, made it known that a Pontiff was gathering a personal army to fight against the Wights. That had some weight, but it wasn’t enough to...

Randidly sat up straighter. He could sense… something. There was a shift in Helen’s Domain. At first, he was very worried when the currents were destroyed by Skarch’s attack; that was not good for Helen’s chances. But then the Domain endured Skarch’s thrust and simply… oozed back together.
With the color darkening, it was clear to ...

With Skarch looming in front of her, Helen simply chuckled. “Get fucked.”
Skarch’s spear hit Helen’s stomach with enough force to crack a few ribs even as the long spearhead slid between them to inflict the most worrisome wound. Helen grunted, feeling the sharp flash of panic and the fiery waves of pain as though she was j...

Randidly glanced at Azriel. The two stood outside the entrance to the tall stone colosseum. As they were both finalists, even though Randidly had been eliminated, they had a priority entrance that was free of the long lines of chatting people. But Azriel was not coming with Randidly through the door. “Really? What for?”

In the week before her match, Helen barely had time to breathe. It all blended together as the group trained day after day. By the evening before her fight with Skarch, Helen believed she had improved more than she had thought was possible.
Yet some part of herself told her it wasn’t enough.
Part of it was the strange conv...

Randidly’s gains weren’t small, but it was still only two days worth of PP. Most of the Skill Levels he gained were concentrated around Visualization and the Ignition of the Emerald Essence Skills, but his Ashen Kata and Yggdrasil groupings also slowly ticked upward. That was part of the joy of how wide his Skill base was; over time...

Ugh, this was also a hard chapter to write... well, we will see.
“It’s been a while,” She said with genuine sweetness. Her smile was picture perfect. So perfect that Randidly felt thrown back in time to the days were airbrushed actors and performers stared out with glassy eyes from glossy covers. From a time where surface became substance.
Randidly grinned in response, but there was very little pleasure in the expression. He did not...

Few notes before today's chapters.
It's just going to be the two, but that's because I began work on something I promised quite a bit ago: the side stories for the character contest. I had them outlined, but it was just a matter of writing them out. It's also nice timing because the three characters can be used to follow what's going on back at Earth, to add context for some of the whispers that Randidly will begin to hear.
In addition to the project of finis...

Randidly supposed scale was just a very specified application of efficiency, but because Domains tapped into the System, they could spread far beyond the reach of normal Skills. Randidly was already pushing the boundaries of Skills due to his high Perception, Mana Pool, and the Skill Aether Detection, but a Domain would let him expand even further.
Randidly’s goal for a Domain was to create something that he could use to empower all of Earth. A mass buff was the simplest,...

Silo eyed up his opponent. Strangely, even through the haze of darkness and erratic impulses that was Silo’s current worldview, there was something about Shal that quieted the monstrous voices that whispered to him. Which was liberating.
And infuriating to the part of him that was lost to the voices.
