    Little Character Thing

    So I've missed 4 weeks. Wohoo. Or more like "boohoo", but that's more how I feel about missing 4 weeks than anything.

    But it's finally time this old thing becomes relevant. Made this a long time ago. Spoilers btw, if you're not caught up with Tapestry: A World Apart.

    Late Updates

    Wanted to apologize for being late on updating Tapestry: A World Apart. I'm trying to start an indie development project at the same time I'm taking classes, add in some health issues and the last weeks have not been great. Just know It's not a long-term thing and updates will begin again shortly. It's really just a matter of editing and finding a few hours for it.

    I think one of the most beautiful things about reality is how it never does a half job. Every little blade of grass, to every insect, and from the forces of gravity on planets and the fusion that fuels our sun, to the forces exerted by the motes of dust landing on the ground to thunder across the Earth, it's all perfectly consistent.

    Today... Is the day.

    The last time I uploaded a new chapter for A World Apart was just a month under 3 years ago.

    But today...

    After all that time, and one heck of a set of life experiences I can scarcely even remember all of or in order,

    That's going to change.

    This feels extremely significant to me. It's something I've put a tremendous amount of passion, soul and work into.

Encouragement · 6:44am Feb 7th, 2015

Today, I had someone tell me they liked A World Apart, and eagerly await the next chapter.

I think, and somewhat understand why, that people often think "oh no, I don't want to bug the author." I'm not sure what authors don't like to feel appreciated, but I'm not one of them. A little encouragement like that honestly goes a very long way in motivating me to keep going. If you like it and want more of it, say something. It really means something to hear that.

On that note, life is crazy right now. I mean, people are always calling themselves busy, but I've literally been doing classes and homework or preparing for them since I woke around 830 this morning, until about an hour and a half ago, when I sat down and reviewed my current draft for the next chapter of A World Apart.

I really can only do so much, though, before I get so tired I'm spacing out staring at the screen. So I'll do what I can, but know that a little encouragement really goes a long way.

Does that mean you want us to message you every week and tell you how our souls are slowly getting crushed by the wight of the world and we're waiting for you to re-inflate them with your life giving pages? Cause that's about how often I look for your story. (And I might give an uncharacteristically foalish squeal when it comes out.)

Just don't kill yourself getting it out. Both for your own sake and that of the story, we're rooting for you.

Yes :p

And thanks!

Yeah, this week has been particularly crazy. I'm really far behind in one of my classes and catching up has been eating my time. As I type in-between assignments, I've been working for about 14 hours straight, and tomorrow isn't looking so much better. Once I'm caught up, I should have a few hours each day to write. Hopefully.

2813574 Heh, I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one with that problem.

Good luck, and I look forward to hearing that you beat it out.

I probably sound like a broken record but I really am anxiously awaiting your story.
