Early Access: STORMWEAVER 3 - Chapter 26 [ROUGH]
So this is NOT actually Chapter 26, but a NEW Chapter 15 to be inserted earlier in the book. Leaving it labled like this to help with consistency of posting.
While I was rereading, I realized I wanted to insert something really important for later on, and saw the opportunity. This scene will need some major reworking because this is just me getting the idea down, but I think you’ll find it interesting regardless.

FROM THE CAMPAIGN:
This collectible statue was modeled by Otavio Liborio with Christopher's direct supervision, including over 50 back-and-forth feedback iterations on everything from Saphira's head to her wings, scales, pose, and base.

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been around much and it's been WAY longer than expected for new content, but I have updates and come bearing a proper apology/appreciation gift for those who have stuck around as paid members of the Patreon!
LIFE UPDATE:
First off, my parent's surgery is now about a month out, and aside from some expected continued discomfort, they are doing much better. We are still waiting for some biopsy results to let us know if anything spread, but the ...
2024-11-02 13:38:29 +0000 UTC View PostAbsolutely working on stuff, just still dealing with a lot, sorry guys.
I know I told everyone there would be a delay and I know you have all been wonderful and understand, but I do apologize. My parent had some (fortunately minor) complications that have been taking a measurable amount of my attention, and between that and the Paolini secret project launching and stuff, rereading has been LE slow.
Chipping away, and we'll be back soon, I promise!
2024-10-26 16:05:54 +0000 UTC View PostBack at my desk. Parent's post-op was not perfect, resulting in some delays.
Hey yall,
Technically I've been back since Sunday night, but my parent had a complication (now resolved) that I needed to monitor for a little while from afar (I have a background in physical therapy, for anyone confused) so when you add that to catching up on WM work I was putting off, it's been a shit show.
Clamping down starting this morning on the reread! Enjoyed what I've gotten through so far, which is always a good sign!
In other news, I don't know if I ever shared th...
2024-10-16 11:42:17 +0000 UTC View PostTime to do a reread! Also a heads up about a sick parent and my schedule.
Hey all! Sooo... If you read Chapter 25, you'll know I totally forgot a couple elements from earlier in the book. Not unexpected for 1) pantsing, 2) a project this big, and 3) my schedule.
That does mean, however, that it's time for me to do a reread of Book 3 so far, and the timing works out a little.
A parent of mine is sick, and is having surgery this week to get something removed. It's def treatable, and prognosis is good, but the surgery is pretty rough so I'm going down to S...

Not sure if the next release will be Chapter 26, or what was going to be Chapter 26 included as the second half of 25 v2. Love this rough of the reunion, but might need more to make everyone feel what I want them to.

Still needs some cleaning up in edits, but I'm MUCH more satisfied with this ending!

Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.

Okay so this chapter is a TON of fun, but there's def gonna be a v2. I wanted a bit of a shot into an important element of the story, but I realized after I got to the end that nothing moved forward other than the exposure I wanted, so I'm gonna have to add a transition.
Also... I made mentions of some specs I obviously need to back up with a spec request 🤣
Still, lots of fun IMO, so enjoy!

So after some thought, I decided that for the rough draft of this book, I'm going to make this an actual true chapter, in case it offers opportunities for me later on in the book involving Jasper. There's a good chance it gets excised in the final (it feels too long) but I'm comfortable leaving it in for the draft.
So... suprise! Longest Stormweaver chapter ever, I think!
Ending also definitely needs some work (both of them lol). So, look ...

Hey guys. Believe it or not... I'm sick again. Not sure if COVID rebound or something new. Not bad enough to stop my writing, but my plan to rip through the rest of this short today is struggling.
Barring this getting a lot worse than it is, though, it will be out today or tomorrow, on my pride as a ward of the state!
In the short-term, though, here's some new OFFICIAL sci-fi art for Alex Rightor!

Hey yall.

If you're someone who doesn't usually go back to read v2s, I would highly recommend making an exception for the 19 and 20 v2s this week. There's a lot more content in 19, and Dice's personality had a major rework in 20.
