Yes, yes I am alive. I do apologize for the extended silence. I have several bits of good news and at least one bit of bad news.

First, the bad news: Chapter 15 of Wasteland Economics is not yet complete.

So yeah, unusual blog post timing as I write this from a hotel in Vancouver! I'm vacationing with my family this week, and overall having a great time. Meanwhile, in case you missed it but read this blog instead (but how and/or why would you put up with me otherwise?) Chapter 14 finally went live after the four-month wait. And also, the wonderfully talented artist Neuro made page 1 of what he hopes to be a comic adaptation of WEcon!

Alright! So I'm a little behind schedule on this, but Chapter 14's draft is now (like as of three minutes ago now) done! Editing has begun immediately, so my hope is to have the chapter itself live this coming weekend. This one is, as I expected, a doozy by my standards, clocking in just under the length of Chapter 4. After editing goes down, I fully expect many of the scenes to be expanded and unpacked. So I once again apologize for the wait, but promise that you'll be getting a

Hooooooo boy, so much for weekly blogposts eh? Okay I gotta get this one out of the way, and frankly I've been dreading even posting this without significant content to report, but here goes.

This'll be a short one! I'm of course pleased to say I finally released Chapter 13 of Wasteland Economics, "Goodwill!" Thanks again to Pipistrelle for the chapter idea. I hope y'all enjoy, and I will be replying to comments shortly, promise. I always get in this cycle where I reply to early comments quickly, but after I start feeling guilty for not having the next chapter up, I kinda stop replying. Gonna try to overcome that this time.

Okay gotta get this out of the way first: still not finished editing ch 13. Editors have had some serious RL stuff come down and hamper editing time, but so far I think things look good.

Okay, so! Missed the blogpost last week, mostly out of having not much to report on, but all that has changed this week! I mean, sorta. I have an awful habit of missing scheduled updates when there's nothing to say, which I should really work on. Lots of stuff happened last week, from a slammed-as-hell work week (and getting a raise!!) to Patch 3.2 coming out for Final Fantasy 14, distracting me from writing after hours. Also I cranked out

God damn has it really been that long? Well, a couple things out of the way before I get all misty-eyed. Chapter 13 is still in editing, as you might have guessed. The pacing was just far too rapid-fire, and so I'm rewriting whole chunks in a fairly major set of revisions. But some good news is I'm going to start posting weekly to this blog, trying to keep y'all up to date on stuff happening behind the scenes, if you will.

Time for another status update I suppose! Chapter 13's draft is done at last, a week later than I'd hoped thanks to PAX south (and the resulting PAX pox that I came down with). Not quite on track with my chapter-a-month plan, but close enough that I'm going to pat myself on the back for it. It's a bit on the short side, might expand a bit once the editors get a handle on it, but it's long enough that I'm satisfied.

So... Chapter 12. TL;DR is that Chapter 12 draft is nearly finished, and I'm hoping to get it out before Christmas. Because I'm me, I feel the need to explain myself, especially since this has taken longer than my usual schedule of a chapter about every other month.
