Not many know that I've still been working on the next arch for CTTB. Not only the story, but some of the art as well. Opening the story will begin with this image to help give you an idea of where the story will be going.

Right now, I'm in a weird place. Some symptoms have died down, but a few like the near-constant chest pain and either light-headedness or shortness of breath hits me periodically. Even still, I'm usually drained from dawn to night. Mentally, I'm depressed, working with a professional about it, but most of the time I, ironically, feel empty.

I'll cut right to it, as I've already shared the information on Discord Chat. I recently went into the Emergency Room with some neurological medical concerns. As it turns it, the diagnosis was that I was having mini-strokes (pardon that lack of a formal medical term for the condition).

Greetings, all.

So, I'll get straight to the point. I am working on the next installment, CTTB: Life in the Crystal Empire. I've got some progress made into it, though it is not an easy go of things as of yet. Primarily, work has gotten more involved, taking me away for weeks at a time.

I still do what I can when I can, but to say I'm busier than usual is grossly underselling my situation.

Alright. So, with the battle over, an epilogue is to be expected, given how much had happened and all the new developments. As of now, the epilogue is written... but Holy Shit did I ever have a lot to epilogue about. (Did I use that word right?) Given that, it will be published in two parts, back to back, the same day. I'm doing it this way because what I have written is over 31,000 words to... umm... do what I do best, I guess.

So, yeah. This chapter took a lot longer than I anticipated. So much rework had to be done, but I think the end result was worth it. Regardless, I just wanted to put this out for you all to give you a heads up that it will be posted as early as I can manage, Friday (tomorrow) Eastern Time.

After that, the final chapter is already being worked on, and has a lot done, so the wait shouldn't be as long.

The chapter is done, as in I have written all my pieces for it. It is pending my editor's revisions for grammatical errors and the usual.

That being said, this is going to be one of the most powerful chapters I've shared, with even more coming full circle. So, get ready for some hard-hitting impacts. This next one is a doozy.

So, this next chapter has brought about so many challenges for me. Lots of setbacks and rewrites of various scenes left me frustrated on top of work picking up and leaving me less time to focus on it.

The biggest struggles have been bringing so many little things back full circle. Details of comments made, revelations discovered, keeping continuity, while managing the pacing of action, drama, and not overwhelming the content to be read.

So, much like my last blog, and the same issues I had with the last chapter submitted, this one has provided some unique challenges. So challenging that what I thought I had worked out to get the story moving to where I needed it to ended up failing.

The next chapter has quiet a lot completed to wrap much of the conflict up, though I'm struggling to coordinate the last bit of action-orientated interactions. I don't know if I'll make the Friday deadline, but it shouldn't be much longer after that if I don't. Just wanted to give you all a heads up, though it would be nice if there was a way to manually push a notification when I get the update completed.
