Hey everyone!

I've finished my first pass of eBook 4 and have started working through the edits from my editors. After I've gone through those, I'll email a copy of the text to the patrons who've been my biggest supporters, as I did for the previous eBooks (anyone contributing over $150). With a final pass for edits, I'm hoping to have the eBooks ready for publication in around a week or so.

I'm making inroads into chapter 116 and have written 7k so far. My current plan is to get two chapters out by the end of the month, which means finishing this chapter by about the 22nd. 

Finally, I bought a mic today and briefly logged onto the discord server this afternoon to test it and say hello to everyone. I'll go online again at 11pm GMT tonight, so if you have anything you'd like to ask, I'll do my best to answer any questions. No spoilers though! :-)

Spoiler Alert: Tefler's voice is a mix of Unicorn Tears and Angel's Singing. Just a heads up.

That's great, Tefler. Thanks for the update I was beginning to feel like we lost you somewhere. Glad your back.

David Shmilowitz

can I get an invite for discord voice chat with tefler? also, any word on when ch 115 final update will be ready?

Evan

Tefler should be online - as I understand it - in about 7 minutes, at 10 before the hour.

Gonna be a good month. An ebook and two (!) chapters. The icing on the cake is getting to hear Tefler's voice on Discord, the voice of the almighty. Crazy is pleased, to say the least.

I remember the good old days when we’d get 3 chapters a month...

Anonymous

Hey, DHC Better quality now. It takes up to 50% longer but so worth it don't you agree?

Bigfoot

It's over a month since my last fix of TSM and I'm really jonesing hard!! Old chapters just ain't cutting it anymore.

Who Me

I've gotten so desperate - I've started reading the whole thing over again from Chapter 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jedi Khan

So, are we still on track from 116 being released tomorrow? And how about the ebook? That should be coming up this week too.

Tefler

My wisdom teeth are giving me trouble and I'm in a lot of pain at the moment. I'm half way through 116, but writing has ground to a halt. I'll definitely finish the chapter and eBook by the end of the month, but no ETA atm.

Tefler

Thanks. I just had a root canal... where's Rachel when I need her? :-(

Nibbles

Sorry to hear that Tefler. Those are not nice to have. Hope your feeling better very soon.

I feel for you. Hope the dentist did you right on the pain killers.

David Shmilowitz

ouch, that's rough, hope you feel better soon. on an older topic, any word from your editors about chapter 115 final version date?

Anonymous

Been there, done that, got the T shirt. Tef, I really, really sympathise. Hope you’ve got a good dentist - that can make a lot of difference...

Nathos

Get better soon Tef

Anthony Kester

Aurora had a good idea, depending how you look at it. Tefler should do some writing while all loopy on pain killers. Just to see how it comes out.

get well soon

Tefler, hope you get well soon and just worry about get healed. We will wait if its a matter of the chapter or you're getting well. We'll wait.

I've read the whole story over 3x now. It's been an interesting progression. I've noticed a few typos in a few of the chapters... Tefler - would you like a note of the typo's I've noticed?

Arrowglass

Sure hope you feel better! Been there and I sympathize!

feel better!

Hey Tefler if you need to post a first 1/2 because of dental bills and update after it's cool. We won't hold it against you. We'll I wouldn't.

Nibbles

As Tefler is in the UK and a British citizen his bills are mostly covered by the NHS so it's unlikely to be like in the US where one might need a small mortgage to pay the dentist.

Grimlakin

Might be cheaper to fly to the UK for dental work than have it done in the US.

I live in the US and I've had several root canals, crowns, and bridges due to a few years of depression and bad hygiene. Long story short, my teeth cost me about $20,000 (enough to buy a new car), and about half of that was deeply discounted at the local School of Dentistry. Dental insurance is a joke here - you pay $600 to $800 a year for a 30-50% copay and a $1000 coverage limit (unless you are on some sort of government subsidized or massive group plan).

LF

I... wouldn't go there. The NHS is not exactly a model of best medical care. Not that the US system doesn't have its issues: it does. But the NHS does as well, though they're different issues, I suppose. As to dental work being expensive, that's true the world over, to varying degrees.

Anonymous

if you are going to travel for dentistry, go to Poland that's where Europeans go if it gets to expensive in their own country and their very capable there

tony

well thank goodness for medicare then, i'm disabled and on a fixed income and also thank goodness for the state of oregon picking up the rest, i have no co-pays, i'm so far below the poverty line that when i look up i can barely see it...........peace out........(drops mic)

Or Thailand, had the whole family get teeth cleaned and a check up, $160 for everyone, about 25% of what it would cost me in Australia, and about 10% for the US :)

tony

also get well soon

Tefler

I've written 27k so far of chapter 116, so I'm aiming to finish the chapter by tomorrow evening. Sorry for the delay! :-)

At six and a half weeks, this TSM shutdown is longer than the Trump shutdown. People aren't going hungry in this shutdown, except for being hungry for more story. That said, I would rather wait for the story to be done right, not rushed for some artificial deadline. As the short order cook said to the guy complaining about having to wait for his eggs, "would you rather wait for your eggs or have your eggs waiting for you." Quality matters! Hope you are feeling better soon.

B S

there is a simple cure....start again at the beginning. Its better the 69th time around.........

Jostikas

Man, this story is long! Spent like, two months worth of free time the first time around, and then another to catch up to all the other stories I stopped reading in the meantime.
