So here’s the deal: over the past two days, I dropped seven chapters. That’s right, seven. I’ve been grinding hard because I love this work and because y’all deserve it—but now I’m absolutely wrecked. No exaggeration, I’m medically sleep-deprived right now, and it’s time to face the facts: I need to take a few days to recover and reconnect with my family for the holidays.

To give you an idea of why I’m so wiped, over the last three months, I’ve written nearly 300,000 words across all my stories and that's not counting the 150,000 words of written chapter outlines for upcoming arcs (Up to Arc 6 for Nerd In the North: That previously said Greg Vs, that's how tired I am). That’s insane, and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, but it’s also a reminder that I need to take care of myself.

Recently, my aunt had a stroke from lack of sleep, and you can imagine how that’s been weighing on me. I don’t want to push myself to that point—she’s recovering, but it’s a wake-up call.

Don’t worry—regular updates will resume on January 2nd, and we’ll be kicking off the new year strong. I’ve got a ton of exciting content lined up, and this little break will let me recharge so I can bring my A-game back to the grind.

And speaking of the new year… remember how I’ve been teasing those tier changes? 👀

Here’s your heads-up: 2025 is gonna hit different. I’m rolling out some big upgrades across the board—more perks, more involvement, and more reasons to stick around.

Trust me, you’re gonna love what’s coming, and I’ll drop the full details right after we roll into January.

So yeah, this is me saying thanks for sticking with me, thanks for supporting my work, and thanks for letting me catch my breath. Y’all make this possible, and I can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Hold tight. Big things are coming. See you January 2nd. <3

Just now seeing this… *Scowls* IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU TOOK A BREAK/VACATION!!! *sighs* One of the original reasons for me joining your Patreon was so that you would be encouraged to get more sleep. Anyway, I hope you had a merry Christmas, Z. -And I wish you a happy New Year!
