UPDATE (Patreon)

Dear Readers,

Here's a quick weekly update – I'm not sure if I'll make this a regular thing, but I do enjoy sharing updates.

The next chapter is shaping up nicely. I prefer writing action scenes in the third person, but I'm aiming to keep Chapter 23 entirely from Blake's perspective. It should be finished by tomorrow.

Apologies for the erratic schedule, but, to be honest, I kind of like it this way. It actually makes things easier for me. I'm happy and stress-free as long as I'm hitting my target of two chapters a week, at or over 4K word count.

I've set up a Discord page, but I'm not entirely confident in managing it, so one of my patron supporters is taking care of it for me. Tech stuff like this isn't really my forte, to be honest. However, you can definitely catch me there for a chat or to answer any questions—when I'm not swamped, that is. Also, I'm considering creating a spoiler page (a subtle hint to my Discord admin, lol) for those interested in discussing upcoming content that's still under wraps.

Hmm, what else... The animation project is coming along slowly, with my ideas flowing faster than I can sketch them out. The image above is the character concept for Blake that I got help generating from MidJourney, which I'm using in the animation.

Birthright is making progress too. I'm actually considering whether to start staggering books after Blake Pudding 3. A lot depends on what you all are willing to put up with. The last time I made a major change, I lost nearly 90% of my subscribers, so I'm a bit wary of making such decisions without first sharing my thoughts. At the same time, I don't want to fall into the pattern of some Patreon authors who stick to a single story for years without exploring new ones. My ambition is to create a shared fantasy universe, with a mix of main and side stories. Speaking of which, I apologize for the delay in wrapping up Cyberization’s first draft.

That should cover all the updates for this week. As always, a huge THANK YOU for your ongoing support!

Sincerely and Forevermore,

Hereafter
