SSD 4.67 - A Time to Remember

I still need to write an interlude / epilogue, or two, but this brings us to the end of book one. Holy Shit. I mean, it's only what... a thousand pages or so?

Going to be writing the rest ove...

SSD 4.66 - My Weary Soul

I think we will get through the last of the notifications next chapter, but I'm not completely sure. Still have the largest and most significant remaining. That will be posted on Monday or Tuesday....

SSD 4.65 - Pacts, Languages, and Books

This chapter took a bit longer, as I had to go back an do a bunch of research. I had already made a list of the things that needed notifications, but I needed to make sure I caught everything.

SSD 4.64 - A More Perfect Trap

I have been very happy with the characterization of Exsan over the course of the novel. He was a unique challenge to write for much of the book, and we only really saw him a few times. Partially du...

SSD 4.63 - Changing My Mind

Well into writing the next chapter, and it will come out tomorrow. It is from Exsan's perspective.

Honestly, I am very happy with how all the writing is coming. It has been a relief.

No...

Community Space

Chapter posting immediately after this.

So, it looks like I can make some kind of community space, potentially open up areas for discussion, etc...

Would you actually use it and talk to...

SSD 4.62 - Perspective

Yep, things are continuing right along. We hit the climax for book one and are in the descent now, but hopefully everything was built up enough that these interactions are satisfying.

SSD 4.61 - Exsan's Return

Still coming along. Next chapter is about a quarter done, so it might come out tomorrow or Friday.

Hope you are enjoying the push toward the end of book one.

A good family makes ...

SSD 4.60 - Judgment From On High

Once more into the breach. Smaller cliff at the end. About halfway through the next chapter. Assuming it is written by tomorrow, I will post it here then.

Things left untended have a t...

SSD 4.59 - The Lai of Tarrae

I'm sorry, did I say Friday? Yeah, Patreon is getting this one today. I'm halfway through the next chapter as well. If I get it done in time you will get it tomorrow. Mind the cliff.

Also, fo...

SSD 4.58 - Heritage + Announcement

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Okay, so I'm not always functioning the best, but I have been able to get some limited access to my medication. So, I am going to supplement that with a bit of social pressure f...

OtH 1.10 - Words

Here is a chapter for Outside the Heavens, enjoy.

Whatever Aarick might have wanted, he still needed to finish out his etiquette lesson. That dragged on less than he would have nor...

SSD 4.57 - Rage and Sorrow

Been struggling to get a chapter out this entire month (and a bit), and it is finally fucking done. Same issues with medication, etc..., plus I finally had to put my cat Loki down last week, and ev...

SSD 4.56 - Costs of Living

Taken a while to get this chapter up, but I hope you all enjoy it.

“Life isn’t worth shit. A flick of a blade and its over. Still, its worth more than anything else.”

OtH 1.09 - Etiquette

Sorry this has been delayed. Still dealing with the medication shortage. Apparently it is a continuing issue.

Interestingly, it has its roots in the Covid Pandemic. With many more people at h...

SSD 4.55 - Seeing Behind the Veil

This chapter was difficult to write, but it is finally done.

Patreon doesn't show the formatting of my tables properly, which contains a lot of speech, so things may be hard to read and parse...

OtH 1.08 - Gaining Perspective

This chapter is mostly the same as before, though various edits have been added for flow, and mentions of Aarick's future tutors has been added as well.

Reodan opened the door and ...

SSD 4.54 - Managing Patience

Really sorry this took so long. The medication issue took forever, but their was other stuff as well. Not going to go into it in any great detail, but suffice it to say that I had my first kidney s...

Possible Delays

Hey all. Been unable to refill my primary medication for ADHD. It is a controlled substance and there are shortages. Honestly, the way the government regulates it seems weird and counterproductive,...

Back to the Soul Dungeon.

OtH 1.07 - Breakfast and a Tour

Decent mix of old and new content in this chapter, but hopefully presented into a more compact format that manages to avoid any issues with too much exposition.

Please feel free to let me kno...

OtH 1.06 - Off To Sleep

Changes made for clarity and then a proper plot divergence at the end, which will cascade into everything else.

Aarick still had far too many questions. However, he was also fallin...

OtH 1.05 - Questions - Part 2 V2

Obviously, there are the usual edits for clarity, etc...

Some notable changes here as well:

• how and why telling the truth is part of noble culture, as well as why it persists

OtH 1.04 - Questions - Part 1 V2

Also, please ignore and conjoined words you see here on Patreon. Fo...

OtH 1.03 - Lurona Talks V2

Mostly the same, but there are edits and clarifications.

Plus, a few plot relevant changes:

Spoiler

Lurona now says that enlightenments are common, instead of rar...

OtH 1.02 - Rosetta Stone is for Wimps V2

Apparently, more changes are creeping in earlier. This chapter was originally slightly less than 2000 words and has grown to more than 3300.

Most of those changes are describing sections of t...

Imperial Seat - 2nd Level

Been working on this for the last three hours. Started to edit chapter two and then decided I wanted to flush out and have a more concrete layout so I could accurately describe the path Aarick take...

OtH 1.01 - Painful Revelations V2

Now edited for both clarity and to switch to 3rd limited omniscient. Very little changed from a story point of view.

For those wondering where to expect major divergence, that will happen aft...

SSD 4.52 - Breakfast is Civilization

Sorry this took a little longer to come out than I had planned.

I recently suffered a groin injury and the pain has been very distracting. Medical advice said it would take about a week to st...

SSD 4.51 - Unwise Meddling

I have not forgotten Saga of the Soul Dungeon, even if I needed to make a brief diversion to satisfy the insanity that lies at my heart.

In fact, I have been working on this chapter for that ...
