Hi all.

Guess what? I'm sick! Yeah, not much writing the last few days. Brain has been utter mush.

Oh, and Patreon has been hacked. Yup, hacked big time. Follow me below the break for details.

Hi all!

I’m going to be real busy this weekend, so I’m posting the chapter now. 42 is now up for editing and will be posted after its complete and people have a chance to digest this one. I’m still pondering going to a monthly Patreon, and if I do it’ll be at the turn of the month. Also, I updated my word count tracker! Check out all the new numbers!

Thanks again for sticking with me!

Hi all!

I'm sorry for the silence lately. I know, I’ve been lazy with the blogs for a while now. I really do need to get better with that.

Hi all!

New Rites chapter up!

Anxiety level has been rather high lately, and recent medical news hasn't helped any. Blood tests show a problem with my liver, and the doctor suspects it's from on of my antidepressants. Thus, I've had to discontinue that one, so I'm likely to just get more nervous and depressed. I'm glad my doctor was monitoring me for that, though. He really is a good doctor.

Hi all!

No new chapter today, sad to say. Next week is looking more likely by far.

Getting off the wellbutrin is proving rough on my mood. Anxiety is up, depression is worse. Better than getting liver damage, but it still sucks.

Still writing, and I’m two chapters in on mission seven. I’m really hoping you all enjoy this one.

This chapter's author's notes has more info on what's going on lately, though avid readers of my blog will already have an idea. Patreon will update shortly. If you're a $3+ patron and can't see the preview chapter, let me know by sending a message on Patreon with your gdocs address and I'll unlock it for you.

I hope you all enjoy the chapter! :)

Hi all!

Great news! Block six is done! I was originally going to do some original work at this point before going to block seven, but I’m going to just continue onto seven right away. I’ll get a ton of original work done on NaNoWriMo. I’m aiming for fifty thousand words of original work in November!

Rites is updating. Had to cancel voice lessons temporarily. My grandfather died yesterday, and I don’t know when the memorial will be just yet. Once I find out I can schedule things better.

When the weather gets hot I’m going to start limiting my computer use to editing and voice dictation only, see if it helps my hands some. Of course, part of this is because the computers are hot boxes, and I don’t have A/C. :P

I’m wondering if I should just take the summer off period.

Chapter is going up.

Huge stress lately. Was sick, so also no new writing. Hopefully next week I fare better, despite my flipped sleep schedule.

Oh, Patreon is now on monthly. Just a heads up. :)

So, mostly bad news, but with some silver linings.

Doc is skeptical about my theory, but he also didn't reject it outright. In fact, he said that those two joints are the ones most likely to collect fluid, and if I injured my tendon the fluid from that could shunt right into those joints. Still, he sounded rather skeptical/incredulous about that happening, even if it's possible. His reaction was "What were you doing that would cause hat kind of damage?"

Go read :)

Well, this year is starting out on a down note. Not only is my back worse, but my grandmother may not have long to live. Her collarbone was fractured by a tumour of unknown type. Chemotherapy isn’t an option at her age, so we don’t really know what’s going to happen.

I will be, once again, visiting the US soon. Hopefully my back is better by then.

Hi all!

Chapter is up. But, I have some bad news.

FimFic has decided to ban using chapter previews as Patreon rewards. This is devastating to me, as without Patreon I wouldn’t have been able to write like I have been. Thus, the rewards are going to change.

There have been several comments on the degree of precision needed at the phoenix-rite’s meal settings, and how it reflects a “rotten” core to Heliopolis’s culture. While I do agree that there are things wrong within Heliopolis, namely the classism and bias against those without a blood family, the precision of the phoenix-rite was never meant to be one of them.

I’ve been crazy depressed this week. I was debating delaying the chapter release, but I’m going to post anyway and hope that spurs me to get writing again. From here, though, I need to write 10k-15k more words before I can post 49.

Hi all!

300th blog celebration! Three hundred, wow. That still leaves me at less than one per week. I really need to improve on that.

So, block five begins! I’m over 30,000 words into writing block six. I might have six end at the end of the interlude between missions six and seven. It’ll allow me to put out chapters more quickly.

Rites is updating now. Author's notes has the bulk of what I want to say this time. Again, thank you all for sticking with me!

Hi all!

Only one day late on the blog this time!

Last night, I finished mission six. However, because I have a backlog, I’ve identified three additional scenes I need to add, so I’m not quite done yet. That’s the bad news. The good news is that only one of the three scenes has any real length, the rest are just short add ons. I could be finished by the end of the day.

Hi all.

I told myself I'd post a blog yesterday. I lied. So I'm posting one today.

I've managed to catch up with Designing Intrigue. I've written chapters three through eight. So there will be updates sometime in the fall for that one.

Writing is going slower than what I'd like thanks to my hands and back. Chapter posts will have to slow down unless I can rectify this. I'm thinking of buying one of these: http://www.lightio.com Despite the fact that the website looks shady. :P

Not much else to report, other than the new chapter. Thanks again for sticking with me, and a special thank you to all my Patreon peoples!
