8.83, 8.84, 8.85 and Epilogue

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great chapter. Relc rocks. And I love the Beriad of the Antinium.

Relc rocks

Did PA go back and edit volume 1?

Right up there with one of my other favorite chapters of any book ( which would be ch.100 of Three square Meals), but great chapter and I look forward to you never ending this story!

Welp time to reread the entire Wandering Inn series until the next update. Book 1 should last me a few months.

Bit of a spoiler, but i dont think it is myself. so dont keep reading this if you haven't read the chapters.. At the end of the epilogue it says post: basic quest obtained and so on. Are this like quests she will have to do? or like a skill were she can put up a post on her board and make a quest for others to go to and get magically reward?

Switch to one post a week instead of the shorter chapter as your goal. Even if you start short, you'll likely creep back up to long chapters again, so you might as well try once a week and hopefully guarantee a few days off each week. Something like 3 days off, 4 on.

One of the things Terry said when we met him that always stuck with me, was that he's a writer. That's his profession. So he writes. 5 days a week, up to 8 hours a day. Most of it is garbage, but some of it coalesces into actual stories which he can then focus on. I think that's true for most writers. Constantly churning through concepts, drafts, ideas, just to discard most of them. It's basically just training.

Great work! Enjoy your vacation and stay away from writing. Burnout happens even for stuff you love. So shorter chapters, proper rest and enjoy the other items in life. Cause it's one hell of a story and I don't want it to end anytime soon.

What a gift you are PirateAba! It is such special writing magic… wishing you unexpected wonderful and time in nature! Rest those typing fingers too - 🌻

Have a wonderful break, Pirate. You deserve the time off and more

Take your time and 🙏. may we never go back to 10 or 15k a chapter.

Wow. Just, wow. Thanks so much. As usual, my heart was beating out of my chest, of course, tears were shed. I truly enjoy your writing. Your story. I hope you find the rest and balance you seek. Until then...I will wait, I will wait for you,

I am a grown man, but the sheer number of times I have felt that my emotions in reading these last few chapters would be described via "squee!" is astounding!

Thank you! Great ending to book 8, looking forward to book 9, after you’ve had a good rest.

I may be overstepping, but I say the author is the most important person in the story. Be it the wandering inn, or any other work of art. The author is the one that brings art to life. The story would not exist if not for the author. Please, please, please take care of yourself, and as the last greatest gnome said: "go live again". Work to live, don't live to work. (Thanks for coming to my Ted talk....)

You have created something incredible with this story and I am so grateful you share it with us. Enjoy your time off!

Enjoy your time off.

I keep jumping where I post my comments, some on your website some here, some I even did when joining your twitch streams. I hope that these comments bring you joy. I hope that you find the balance that works for you and enjoy life to the fullest. Thank you for being inspiring. Lastly, Thank you for writing such a wonderful world.

Thank you for all the wonderful stories and congratulations on finishing volume 8!

I almost went outside and kicked my rosebush. Good job fr and great way to leave things for a while!

Rest well.

Thank you forever, for an unforgettable experience I know I will enjoy many times. Enjoy the sun! And ice cream!

Never seen a more crazy ending. Great work! Take all the time you need and then take us with you into one of the greatest fantasy worlds once again.

Wow and thank you. Since starting TWI I have enjoyed it, all the epic struggles and lighter moments like baseball and soccer. Enjoy your break, and know this reader appreciates all your words. Waiting patiently.

Pirateaba, congrats on finishing volume 8! It was wonderful, thank you! Get a good rest and we will see you in a month. :)

Thank you!! Every chapter ends up bringing tears to my eyes in some way. Enjoy your break! You deserve it!

Amazing

Wow! That was great! I have been reading your stuff since 2017, this was and is amazing! But ComeOn now, "one third" done? Nah ComeOn now, you can't spend another 6 years on this, I would say that TWI has probably, story logically wise, like 2 or 3 volumes left. The story has to end at some point, no need to continue it all your life :) Thanks and see you in June!

Thank you! Rest well! <3

You are an amazing and prolific author. I anticipate each word you write! Not only is your character development spot on and rich, even for cameo spots, but your unedited work is of superior quality to most web authors, I don't get tripped up on bad grammar or wrong choice of word. I can't wait to find out what is in your imagination next!!!

You did it PA! Now enjoy your wild and fabulous vacation. Congrats on an 8th gargantuan volume complete!

Awesome! Enjoy your break and don't just use it to work on something else. Have fun.

Clearly the secret to shorter chapters is to break up even longer ones. I'm kidding, of course. Enjoy your break! I look forward to The Last Tide shipping out!

thank u and congrats! have a good break :-)

Damn I’m not sure if I’m ready for this

Have a great break!

omg, the stress is real

Ciao

Thank you!

Thank you as always and enjoy the Break, Love this Story to Bits.

See you next month!!
