Hello, all. Look for the second interlude of the story in the next few days. Thanks for your patience as I work on the next main chapter. I''m still recovering from Writathon!
In the meantime, let''s boost Thistlelight to Rising Stars. It''s only been out for a few days and still has a hair under 100 followers, but it''s brimming with mystery and oozing style. Cool twist on the usual system: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/68208/thistlelight-broken-system-progression-fantasy</a>
A new set of work responsibilities this month, as well as a schedule switch-up, has me struggling a bit to get my bearings. It''s not bad--just different--but it requires more concentration and time, which leaves me with less energy to write. My mental bank needs a refill, so my pace will slow down again.
Avoiding burn out is important to me, because I want to see The Glass Mage through to the end. Slow and steady is better than a glorious burst and an indefinite hiatus, so I might need a week or so to get back on track, but rest assured that we''ll keep plugging along. When we conclude this arc, we''ll reach the end of Book Four. That will put us at roughly the halfway mark! I''m extremely excited to move into the middle of the narrative. It''s time for some power ups and tons more creative crafting. The future is looking bright for our very own glass mage. He''s finally starting to come into his own.

Recommendation time. Here''s a list of stories I often read. Some I''ve linked here before, while others are new. Comment on some of your favorites; when I have time, I''ll check them out. :)
Pay attention to content warnings. I don''t condone everything; read at your own risk. Not all of the stories are like this one, but I''ve enjoyed parts of them for various reasons. Many of them have informed my style. Give them a shot, and tell them I sent you.
