June 24, 2023 - Update
Added 2023-06-24 08:26:51 +0000 UTCHi!
I’m going to keep this update quick as I’m burning the midnight oil to get the last revision done so Travis can have a clean manuscript to do the narration. Last I heard, that would start Monday. I’ll let everyone know when I get confirmation.
The big thing this week is related to health, unfortunately. My gallbladder decided it wanted attention and caused me a very painful and unpleasant night. It took me two days to recover, which has brought this deadline for Travis dangerously close.
I am pausing my revision to post some chapters before I get too tired. The only other bit of business is a snafu at the post office meant all the books I thought were mailed out last week, went out today. So, look for them next week. I doubt I’ll get to email, dms, and comments tonight either, but hopefully will later this weekend.
We are getting close. Next week I’ll be outlining book 9. I’ll also spend some time thinking about ways the higher tiers can be involved in that outlining process.
I opened up chapters 49, 50, and 51 to Root.
I opened up chapters 52, 53, and 54 to Harvester.
I added chapters 55, 56, and 57 to Step Master, Blapy’s Favorite, Divine, and Axiom.
Enjoy!
Many times I can’t get something done without a deadline, writing included. That is why you are my secret weapon, my mythical elixir, my greatest treasure. Your presence here creates a responsibility that I feel, and it creates a hard deadline for me. It is exactly what I need, and I appreciate you so much for it. Thank you!
Take care,
AFK

2023-06-28 05:21:41 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Joe! That is wonderful for you to say. Having people like you here that love the series as much as I do is a real support to the lonely art of writing. I am thinking of ways to let those like you who love the story contribute in a more active way. Anyway, thank you so much for being here and for taking the time to let me know your thoughts.

2023-06-28 05:19:24 +0000 UTCI appreciate your brain and the universe we get to experience in DA! I look forward to it every week. Plus the amazing conversations I have with my buddies who also follow along, theorizing and hypothesizing, are extremely enriching. Thank you for enriching my life’s experience with your creation. Be well.

2023-06-24 15:09:50 +0000 UTCThank you so much! I appreciate you. Please take care of yourself, and get well soon. I say "Thank you," and "I appreciate you," and it doesn't seem to truly carry enough of the emotions I truly feel with what you do weekly for us. I truly feel like this is a special time to be alive witnessing you write this series, and to actually participate in a tiny way (if only as a witness), as you write it. Nothing is exactly like this. So when I say, "Thank you," I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
