    It's been too long...

    Hey there everyone, I know this is probably a surprise after my long, and sudden, hiatus.

    So yeah... I'm still here, and I want to apologize for not updating the story in such a long time. I think I said it would only take a week to get out, right? And yet here we are nine months later and I got nothing to show for it.

    A Long Awaited Apology

    Hello my loyal readers!

    I wanted to make this small blog to apologize for my tardiness regarding the next chapter of TAOAT. To put it bluntly I've been slowly digging a hole in my life and only recently did I finally get help and manage to drag myself back out. And even then, only about half way.

    A Formal Apology

    To those of you who read the previous blog I posted in regards to the most recent chapter, I want to formally apologize for what I wrote. I was angry and frustrated with the way my story, and by extension myself, have been treated. I worded it in a way that put my readers in a negative light, and for that I regret what I have done.

Writing Update 4/18 · 10:13pm Apr 18th, 2015

Hey, a small update to let you guys know where I'm at with the story. I figured It would be best to do this periodically to show that I'm still alive and still writing. As of now I don't know when I'll be releasing the next chapter of The Awakening of a Tactician. I've worked a bit on chapter ten, but it still needs work. What I've been busy doing is writing and scripting future chapters. This will allow me to better direct the flow of the story instead of just 'winging it'. As of right now I have roughly 80,000 words in reserve waiting to be edited.

So yea, still hard at work, just focusing more on the future than the present. I'll see if I can release the next chapter within the coming month. I have finals coming up so when that arrives all my attention will be dedicated to my studies. Once that's over, however, I'll have quite a bit more free time to spend. Might as well put some of that towards writing!

Thanks for all the support!

Nicely done man. Oh, quick question. For Robin's book, can a message from a spellbook be seen in Robin's Tome?

*prays for more Mentor/Student Bonding between Robin and Trixie*

If you ever need help with anything, don't be afraid to ask.

2995098 Are you referring to his token or a different book? If you write in his tome he will get the message in another tome he has. It's connected to the Multiverse and all messages go to him.

2995131 I'm sure there may be some special moments :P

2995203 Careful, I've been known to annoy people :rainbowlaugh:

2995256 Yeah, so have I. It all depends on if you can get me talking about certain topics. :ajsmug:

2995256 Nah, thats just what you think Mountain, you don't irritate people :pinkiesmile:

2995256 Ah okay. I was just wondering because in Chapter 2 of my next story Of Magic and Machines. Nicko uses a portion of Starswirl's Book as a journal. Could that be considered as a tome?

2996733 A tome is really just another name for a book. However, in Fire Emblem it's used to describe books with magical properties. So, while the journal can be considered a tome, you won't be able to contact Robin with it. The only way to do so is to use his token.

Guess I better find it then
