The Tower 10-4 - slight update

Hi! Somebody pointed out that another weird change to Patreon's posting UI had caused it to include the post password in its preview text, so I changed it.

Hi again! This one’s been a while - as ever, I’m really sorry about that. It came with a long stretch of creative challenges, some personal stuff, and two separate bizarre health scares. I hope it’s worth some of the wait. I’ve learned that ...

Book launch (eventually? maybe????)

Hi! I've talked some here about my publishing deal for Nowhere Stars, but I don't think I've mentioned set dates - my publisher told me day 1 purchases were more helpful than preorders, so I was planning to do a big announcement on the day the first edited/illustrated volume and its audiobook counterpart came out. On May 21st.

It is, um, not May 21st, and it's been delayed enough that I t...

I'm very very happy with how this one came out and hope you all like it!

Chapter's taken me a bit for plotting-out-the-end-of-the-book reasons - thank you all again for your patience with it! I'll probably be moving a particular section I'm currently working on to the next one for structural reasons, so I should be ready to post in not too much longer. ♥

Hi again, everyone! I'm really, really sorry it's taken as long as it has to get this out. I'm better now, but this chapter and the next are fairly complicated ones I really wanted to get right, so it's taken me a bit to...

Hey - just wanted to let everyone know that it continues to be a bit of a rough health year for me. I'll keep doing my best, but it may be a little before I have the energy to do good work again. Sorry for the delays.

Publishing deal!

Hi, everyone! Yesterday, I signed a deal with Timeless Wind Publishing, an indie group specialized in dealing with weird niche webfiction content.  

This means a lot of cool stuff for the future of the story! I will now have People For That when it comes time to deal with publishing and marketing stuff I previously had to take spoons away from writing to stumble uselessly through my...

Hey! This one also took a good bit longer than usual. Once again, I’m so, so sorry for the delays and grateful to everyone who’s stuck with me while I made this very complicated stretch of the story the best I could.

Hi again. This section continues to be the hardest to get right of the story so far - maybe the hardest in the story period, if nothing else in my plans surprises me too too much. But I'm doing my best, and I hope you like it. ...

Hi! It's been a minute since I had anything new for you guys. I'm really sorry about that, and thank you all so much for your patience with me. Figuring out Business Stuff is taking a lot out of me, and this has been the hardest ch...

Quick update

All did not go well! My editor got food poisoning, I got a bit of a mental health crisis, and none of that made the current chapter any less tough to get just right.

I'm really sorry this one's taken so long, everyone. We're getting better and still doing our best to get it to you as soon as possible - just wanted to let you all know where I was until then. 

Chapter Delay

Hi, everyone - I'm taking this week off. I'm working on a tough chapter to get right while having a bit of a hard mental health time and occasionally lapsing into screaming existential terror about publishing stuff and whether it'll work out for the best, so I need some space to keep myself from exploding under the pressure. Sorry about that! If all goes well, I'll see you with more next week.<...
