Tears of Liscor Pre-Order + Gravesong Update

"Entitas ipsa involvit aptitudinem ad extorquendum certum assensum."That's fancy Latin for something. The theory is that some Patreon readers might not click on this post. They'll just see the pre-order bit and thing 'oh, pirateaba is working on Gravesong Book 2 like I thought' and skip over the actual reading. Just like people who don't want to read Author's Notes, which is perfectly fine.In which case I've got them and they'll not realize the pre-order a...

Interlude - Stories

It has been a rough last few days. But I got a chapter done despite it. (26,000 Words)https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/01/interlude-stories/Password:computerExploded

UPDATE: Interlude - The Spitoon

I FORGOT TO WRITE A SCENE. I have written and added it. Few hundred words.Refresh the chapter or scroll to the end if you've read it already. This is all. It's small...but important.

Interlude - The Spitoon

The last interlude...well, maybe. Are they even really interludes? I dunno. Get me a better word and I won't use it because I've used 'interlude' for 9 volumes. Hope you enjoy! Poll's out. Better vote. (22,000 Words)https://wanderinginn.com/2023/03/29/interlude-the-spitoon/Password:theWorstShip

Side Story Poll - March 2023!

This is the poll of ‘the’. Because it needs a stupid theme and this is what I have. But lest you think I’m being silly—I am. And I am also telling you something.Gather up. Sit down. Have a drink. Not the alcohol. Not yet. Maybe coffee. Listen.We’ve had a nice Volume 9, haven’t we? After Volume 8, the volume where the latter half was all movement and action and so much outlining and planning—I am proud of it, but that was an intense Volume 8, wasn't it?This one’s had a lot mor...

Interlude - Brewing Sariants

I feel like the virus is still hitting people. I'm still sick. Probably a cold in my case but here's my last chapter before break! It's short, but hopefully it keeps you for a week!https://wanderinginn.com/2023/03/19/interlude-brewing-sariants/Password: shortAndStillSick

Interlude - Innovation and Invention

I am hungry. So I post the chapter and then can relax and eat. I feel like there might be something Pavlovian about all this but I think it works. Plus, I get snack breaks if I need them. Lunch, dinner, too. Actually, I should probably just have made food before posting but here we are.

I have done it. I have written the chapter. Also, the poll is out. It was harder this time due to sickness. It refuses to die. Anyways, chapter's out! Remember that Volume 1 rewrite I released?

Side Story Spoilers - March 2023!

Yeah, I may be sick because these are some weird options. Let me tell you just enough to make your choosing hard.Kingdom of Gnolls TTRPG (Background and setting) - So the idea is a tabletop setting you can play a board game in. This would just be me writing a hook to a tabletop adventure. I have some books I’d try to copy from. I doubt I’d do statblocks, but I’d write out as much as I can in a single update. With the ‘experimental’ stuff, I’m just devoting an update to trying somethi...

I’m not late. I’m just…okay, I forgot the poll, and I was working on Volume 1. So here’s a flash-poll for probably Tuesday’s chapter? I dunno, we’ll see.I’m tossing in some weird options here because…I want to offer them. Ask for the $10+ spoilers for context or just guess.

9.38 TV (Pt.1) and 9.38 TV (Pt.2)

I have completed my chapter. After the time I took off to finish and edit it--it is ready. There are two parts though I consider it one 'chapter'.

No Chapter Update -- 2/25/2023

I think I've done this less than ten times so far, for big chapters, and for bad ones. And that is invoking my right to delay updating the story because the chapter is not ready.The simple truth is that it isn't good enough. I have 'today', which is the day in which I post to edit. But I cannot see a way in 8 hours where I'd be able to fix all the issues in the part that is written--and finish writing what I have planned.As it is, I would release a mediocre chapter at best an...

I'm back...just in time to go on my monthly break! No, but I have been working hard. Here's a chapter and wish me lots of rest! Editing...is hard work. But I edit every chapter now which is good.

Side Story Spoilers - February 2023!

Hello again. You want context? This is context. I also forgot to do at least 2 food POV's which I might tie into next chapter. Centaur food. Anyways, enjoy!
