10.09 E

There is no cat in this actual chapter; I just like the movie even if it's not the top one ever made? It's got a good feel. This is in apropos of nothing in the actual chapter except a connection I made that I doubt anyone gets. I can make whatever password I want. Enjoy! Also, I'm on break! Also, I lied about something else implicitly in this post. (32,800 Words)

10.08 (Pt. 1 and Pt. 2)

It's technically two shorter chapters? Since when did 20,000 words become short? Ah, well, savor these days because soon...well, the chapter will still be long but they'll be more spaced out. You know what? I don't need to rationalize this message. I'm just writing a super long note here because I think it might fit the chapter and because it might throw you off and wonder 'what the heck is pirateaba writing here?'...only to realize you've wasted your time. Enjoy! (45,800 Words)

10.08 delayed till Tuesday

Attention. I am keeping this short but announcing that the chapter has been delayed to Tuesday. This is NOT a break or burnout. It’s a classic.

10.08 now stands at 41,000 words. I wrote it in two days…and I was editing today, but I’m not satisfied with my energy levels. I’m blasted, and this is me stepping back and saying that, for the good of the chapter, I need more time.

Ironically, if this were next month, I’d have a week to have done this and edit, and I wouldn’t ...

Side Stories Poll - January 2024

Hey, I forgot the poll! Also, I'm back to work. This month is gonna be more hectic than I thought and I'll write an Author's Note on the first chapter back, but I'm already typing.


And one of the things I should figure out is the side story for this month! In this case I thought about a real side-characters poll but we're launching into Volume 10. So all of these are definitely bigger plots that I have to write. Help me figure out which you'd like to see first!

9.70 (Pt. 1-3) and Epilogue

The final chapters of Volume 9 have been completed. I am on break. Please note that there are no passwords; this is a Christmas gift for all to read, as is traditional for Wandering Inn.

Please be aware of spoilers. Do not scroll down on this post and read comments; all readers please mindful of posting spoilers on Discord, Reddit, or anywhere else.

The combined word-count for all the chapters is 120,000 words. I am taking Christmas and the month of January off. View Post

Solstice Finale Delayed

The chapter is so long it has been broken in two parts for readability. Total word count is 60,000. I am now on break so I have the energy to write the final chapter.

The chapter is early because I believe it's better not to wait. I will post the next chapter in a week.

Blog #5: Solstice Writing Pt. 2

Recap of the last three days.

Sunday--my new designated non-writing work day. I did indeed fill hours of it with meetings and other things that surprisingly come up on days like these. I was only ‘free’ for the last four hours of wakefulness and debated working, but I felt like it’d just be work I’d need to rewrite for quality anyways.

Monday--Pretty productive. I hit 16,000 words, and I felt like I had all the elements I needed to in order to write the 2nd chapter of the ...

It's technically Tuesday! I'm uh, waking up at weird hours (for me) so I'm releasing this early so I can sleep whenever I want! MelasD is running a Kickstarter for Salvos--check the announcement at the top to give them a look!

pirateaba Youtube Interview and Book 11!

This is a big announcement! My first (Youtube) interview is now out! Andrea reading out a transcript of my written interview with Matt's Book Reviews!

They reached out to me and it's the first time I've ever done something like this so I hope you find it engaging--I certainly answered some tough, and interesting questions.

Extended Break and Rest (and mini-chapter)

I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news, but I'm extending my break to October 14th. This is not only to give me all the time I need for finishing Huntsong but to actually get ahead of chapters potentially if I come back. 

I have a longer blog post here you can read if you want.  

However, I felt incredibly guilty so I have something...

Blog Posts #1 and 2!

I am still on break but feeling better due to a long break and healthy revision schedule. I hope to be done and back on the 7th but I'll take one more update off if needed.

Because I'm not dying for once, I wrote two small blog posts. I may not always announce it here since I think you come for chapters and longer-form content, but I hope you enjoy.

I am doing well. I do things other than chapters when I'm healthy like post on the Wandering Inn Discord and talk with people. Hop...
