Chapter Delay to 20th.
Hey, it's me. I have to go to the plan B I mentioned and release the next chapter on the 20th. I had hoped to write and edit before the wedding (I am away from my computer at this very moment), but it was not to be.
I think the stress of travel and the fact I will be giving a wedding speech (that's gonna be weird), make it too hard for me to focus and write. I had one day to do the edits and while I had hoped to write while on the road...that was a pipe dream.
Airports are terrible purgatories which I'm sure everyone knows, but my nocturnal schedule also means I feel like ten kinds of jetlag. So all this to say that I'm taking my week off now. I'll still be traveling by Tuesday but I'll get the chapter done on Thursday and Friday or die.
Apologies about the delay, but this is a meaningful wedding to me and I am grateful not to be stressing too hard about work or reader expectations. And hey, maybe I'll get inspiration on the trip, or at least recharge the writing batteries.
See you on the 20th and if you read this and meet me at a wedding, uh...say hi? Just don't post about it everywhere, please. Also, don't tell Fetohep what I said. I'll just get like a -2/10.

I am kind of sad there wasn’t a wedding that I could attend. It would seem like a literal awestruck dream to meet jou irl. Holy moly guacamole how I would pick your brain on how you write etcetera. Anyways, hope you had a nice break, and am really glad that you’re doing well!
Waiting for later today hope you had a fun wedding and either caught the bouquet or successfully dodged it.
I'm grateful to get the chapters whenever you can get them out. I am in awe of the amount of work you put out. I was BEYOND THRILLED I was able to pre-order "The Empress of Beasts" soon after I finished listening to "The Witch of Webs." You are entitled to a personal life ... and however many breaks you need.
getting withdrawals …. hehe. do your thang boss. we will wait with baited breath
No problem! I like to imagine that your wedding speech is as long as a TWI chapter
No worries. Just go and enjoy yourself, we'll still be here waiting when you get back.
No dying! Breaks are good. Weddings are good. Story will happen when it does, and then it will be good
No worries, author buddy. I hope the wedding is delightful.
good luck happy wedding eat lots of cake. Take the time you need the chapter wil only be better for it.
Screw reader expectations. You're an artist!
Good luck stay safe and have fun
I long ago gave up on trying to get work done at airports. Even when I was able to power through when I was younger, it would inevitably take more time to fix the next day than if I just started from scratch after getting out of travel purgatory.
I’m ok with this. I’m only at Chapter 13 of The Witch of Webs. This gives me more time to eventually catch up…which is going to take a long long time.
Eh 3/10 apology~ Fetohp
Have fun!
No worries thanks for the good communication
Feel like the last paragraph is vaguely implying that Fetohep will be at the wedding.
I don’t begrudge an author their rest… but how did 4 out of 6 of my Patreon writers all conspire to take breaks together??
They're all at the same wedding
Hv fun
Sigh...
My wedding invite still hasn’t arrived 😱
Enjoy yourself. Have fun with the speech thing.
Safe travels
Seriously, enjoy the wedding. Maybe have a bit of fun. Would love to hear an edited version of the speech if you feel comfortable with that, I bet it would be pretty great. Also, don't die. It's not worth a missed chapter, not at all by any means of measurement.
enjoy the wedding!
Be well! Have you considered using also an ai tool, as an assistant editor?
Yeah, why not pay others to write for them too, right? RIGHT?!
Be in the moment. Be present at the wedding. Enjoy the wedding. Have fun. Work can always wait. The fans of the Wandering Inn can wait. Kia ora ake rā.
Enjoy the wedding! Excited for the chapter no matter when it comes out!
"I'll still be traveling by Tuesday but I'll get the chapter done on Thursday and Friday or die." Or maybe take care of yourself and don't stress if it's a day later next week?
Enjoy the wedding
No worries. You gave us like 100k words over the past 2 weeks. Even averaged with a 0 this week youre still giving us way more than any author out there. Relax and have fun over your trip
No need to apologize pirate, you’re awesome. Enjoy the wedding and thank you for your hard work! Good luck with your speech :)
Enjoy the wedding and no matter how many delays you take how can we complain🤷♂️when each chapter is the size of a book already. I’m sure the speech will be infinity/10
It seems Calescent said to Paba it’s god damn raw, cook it little bit more.
While I'd have loved to read a chapter, I'm much more glad that you are not forcing yourself to endure stress to finish it. :)
