Chapter 31 sneak peek! Coming tomorrow!
IDGAF if this week was a hell hole. I AM bringing Chapter 31 to Patreon tomorrow, and Chapter 21 to Public Release Monday. Look forward to it! It might be a little less developed than I want even for a rough since it wasn't exactly my main focus this week (if you don't know why that is, I envy you), but it's coming!
For now, enjoy this sneak peek!

Early Access: STORMWEAVER 3 - Chapter 30v3 [ROUGH]
Not a massive overhaul, but a really important one to get right. Sorry I've spent so much time on this group of chapters, but these series of scenes are REALLY important to nail down, since they form kind of a linchpin of a major development in Firesong's trajectory in the series.
More specifically for THIS chapter, though, I think I broke a key characters... well... character with the original iterations. I'm MUCH more happy with this version!...
2025-02-07 17:26:04 +0000 UTC View PostFinal appreciation postcard art!
These are on the way to us, and I'll get them signed as fast as I can! I believe the design graphics behind the Rei and Aria are gloss, so they'll give a cool texture in the light!
Let me know what you think!
I forgot to credit vinchie as the artist!
Small but CRITICAL changes to Chapter 28 of STORMWEAVER III
Hey all! I didn't want to give this the usual title because I AM trying to get you guys a new chapter this week/early next, but I was doing some rereading and reworking and I realized I wanted to make some small but hugely important changes to Chapter 28.
I've attached the new Chapter 28 (v4) here for you guys to reread if you want! It's cleaned up now so it's a little bit of a different read.
BUT
If you just want the TLDR, it's below

minor pet emergency (possible Chapter 30 delay till tomorrow/Monday!)
Hey yall! So sorry, I'm having a bit of a very minor pet emergency (everything is fine, I just need to keep an eye on the pup), so I might have to push Cahpter 30 till tomorrow/Monday!
He seems okay now, so hopefully I can sit down this afternoon and wrap 30 for yall regardless, but just in case I don't get it out today I wanted to let you know! Sorry again, and talk soon!

So "v3" is 28 is putting it loosely, since I only reworked the end slightly to work better with 29. You can honestly just reread the last page or two of 28v3. Don't feel like you have to reread the whole thing!
LOTS happening in 29, though! I yet still somehow... not enough 🤣
Look forward to 30 next week!

As promised, the added content is more than the original chapter 🤣 There's probably going to be some cutting up and moving stuff around to make Chapter 29 work the way I want it to, but it'll all be smoother in the end as usually!
Just a heads up that with this coming week being Christmas and my parents in town, there may not be a new chapter the next week! Gonna try to have something for you Friday, but it is doubtful given I'm trying t...

Chapter 28v2 is coming at you this weekend! Not sure yet, but I think it's gonna be an additional 4k words or so, so more than 2x the length of v1 lol.
We REALLY need to figure out what Endwalker does! It's been teasing all of us for too long, and I think I finally know how it works!

Getting to the juicy stuff, but I do think there's a better place to end this chapter. Realizing what I wanted for Chapter 29 will fit a lot better in longer 28.
So IF next week is "only" a Chapter 28v2, that's cause I'm adding a LOT to this scene/sequence. There's another reveal I want to get a lot closer to in this chapter, or the pacing will feel jilted.

Okay here me out, cause there's a lot to unpack here.
Chapter 27 is new, but it will only make sense if you read:
Chapter 15v2 (reminder that 15 happens right after his meeting with Kamiya Hiroto, so several weeks before where we are with Chapter 26/27)
AND Chapter 26v2
Sorry to make it complicated, but I had to do some tying in. Welcome to editing a novel on Patreon! Haha

For those wondering why I vanished again, an update on the ERAGON project. In short, it's unexpectedly taken over my life for what I hope are obvious reasons 😅
Hey yall! I'm still writing, but it's down to a couple hundred words a day, and will continue to be so until this campaign wraps. Setting aside even the massive about of work this campaign is taking, this Saphira statue project with Christopher Paolini is incredibly important to get right, as we hope it is the key to even bigger and better stuff in the future.
