In the stew (Patreon)

Hey folks, friendly neighborhood author here with a quick update on why no chapters in a week.

I'm still in the grip of a depressive episode (normal, navigable) and also dealing with a really complex and difficult interpersonal situation that blindsided me, and the combination has my creative circuits fried. I've still been writing, but in the background tasks that don't produce tangible results. Plotting, outlining, editing, things that are important but do not immediately result in a readable chapter. When I actually try to write, as in put down words on a page, I can't push past my current emotional turmoil to get a coherent result.

This too shall pass.

If I haven't gotten sufficiently through it to produce a chapter by Wednesday, I'll start doing that thing where I cycle the current Patreon ranks forward until everything's up on RR and then start the cycle anew from Avenists on downward once I can get the writing out again.

I'm very sorry about the disruption. Life just comes at you sometimes. Hope to be through it pretty soon.

Thank you as always for reading.
