Song of the Week

Kamelot, “Veil of Elysium”

Also check out the acoustic version.

Hello! It’s Monday again.

I’m so proud of and grateful for everyone who went out to protest on Saturday, especially because I am currently too big and round to attend myself. May this be the start of something momentous.

I’m also proud of Wisconsin for turning out to vote last week! The polling place where I work was so busy that we ran out of ballots, but with a little patience and the accessible electronic voting machine, we managed to get everyone’s vote counted.

I am definitely slowing down, and my body and brain are both tired all the time, but I’m going to do my very best to get you a new episode of The Well Below the Valley this week. The comic script is also coming along.

Here’s a couple of petitions for this week:

Via MoveOn.org: Protect LGBTQ and immigrant sanctuary communities

Via Action Network: Denounce attacks on immigrants fleeing authoritarianism and violence

Via The Intercept: Free Rumesya Ozturk

That’s all for today. Thanks for being here.

Song of the Week

Kamelot, “On the Coldest Winter Night”

Good morning! I hope you’re well on this chilly Monday.

I am slightly less behind on NaNo as of today, and I’m continuing to try to catch up. Part Two of The Book of the New Moon Door is almost done. I think I’ll be able to start Part Three before the month is out. What this means for you, dear reader, is that I’ll have a lot fewer interruptions to the posting schedule going forward, and New Moon Door will be finished and ready to begin the publishing process (including many, many rounds of edits) around mid-2023, and (tentatively) published by the end of the year. This is very exciting for me, because I didn’t think I’d be able to get another book out next year, as both New Moon Door and Journey to the Water are looking to be much longer than Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea.

So, for this week: a new chapter of Journey to the Water will be up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be here on the blog on Wednesday.

I think that’s all my updates for today! Take care and have an excellent week.

The Official Reader Poll is now closed! Thank you to everyone who voted. I will announce the results later this week. Check back soon.

Take care and have an excellent week.

Kamelot, “Abandoned”

Happy Monday!

Do you have a plan to vote, US friends?

No new chapter this week; I have some work to catch up on and need to outline the next arcs. I will see you soon.

Stay safe, and have an excellent week.

Kamelot, “The Haunting (Somewhere in Time)”

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is staying safe.

I’ll have a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea on Wednesday for you. I don’t think I’ll continue with Myst, but I hope to start another project of some sort soon.

Have an excellent week!

Kamelot, “Temples of Gold”

Happy Monday! It’s my friend Brooke’s birthday today. I wrote something to commemorate it last week, which you can find here.

I was sick all last week, and have plenty of work to catch up on now that the powers of breathing have returned to me. Not to worry, the next chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea will go up on Wednesday as scheduled. I’ll also be on Twitch on Thursday!

I hope you enjoy this beautiful late-October week!
