The Fifth Architect has appeared! (Patreon)

I am so happy to today to announce that the fifth Architect has stepped forward from the shadows!

Robert Hawk has been with me since nearly the beginning, and I have often. thought of him as the Mr. Miyagi to my Daniel Larusso (without all the martial arts). Many of you don't know it, but there were at least two separate occasions where I was literally losing sleep over early versions of the stories. Comments on Lit were divisive about how I should be writing, got a couple of mean emails, etc.

Anyway, on at least two (most likely more), Robert would just message me out of the blue to say "Hey. Things are looking great. I really like how you're handling X." (I would look these up if the messaging system wasn't really bad on my end). There was one time I was literally contemplating rewriting an entire chapter to change a crucial plot point and he messaged me about a decision I had already made. I actually looked over my shoulder, it was pretty spooky.

Robert, may your home always be warm and full of laughter. May your books never lose their new book smell, and may you always find the same solace and wisdom in comforting words that you have given me.

All hail the 5th Architect! 

P.S. I am behind on these because I had to replace the animation software, so bear with me as I slowly catch up.

Also, I am behind on life. This will likely be a one chapter month as I take some time for myself to get ready for the final push to full time status.
