Slight Delay (Patreon)

Hey guys,

You may remember I mentioned that I was going to be away from home and my writing computer for a few days. (But that I would schedule the chapter).

Well I had planned to schedule the chapter on Wednesday, but I crashed and burned that day with what might have been a 24-hour illness or might have just been extreme fatigue mixed with good old-fashioned muscle soreness.

So anyway, I knew I still needed to post the chapter, but I hadn't done my right-before-posting proofreading pass that somehow never catches all the errors, and I still wanted to do that.

So I transferred the chapter from my writing computer (iMac) to Dropbox, accessible from my (Windows) laptop, because I'd heard we were going to a place that would have WiFi and I could handle it on Thursday evening.

Except when we arrived I discovered that I had packed the WRONG laptop charging cord. So, after some struggle, I found a cord that would work and charged the laptop.

Only to discover that the chapter is not, in fact, in Dropbox. At this point, I was flabbergasted.

There is a cloud backup of the entire Scrivener project, but it's in iCloud. Scrivener projects DON'T WORK with the iCloud for Windows application on my laptop because of the way they pack the files.

All that to say, it is literally impossible for me to post the weekly chapter right now, and it's totally my own fault. I'm sorry, especially because I know how painful the current cliffhanger is.

I will be back to my house and writing computer late on Sunday or early on Monday, and getting the chapter posted will be my first priority.

Apologies.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your understanding and well-wishes!
