Well, I bet the last thing most of you expected today was to hear from me after six years of (relative) silence. But here I am! A lot has happened in the past six years.


    Let''s get right into the meat and potatoes of this announcement. Basically, I have come to the decision to rewrite the Breath of Creation. Completely and utterly. My technical skills as a writer have improved, I like to think, and after much deliberation I decided to revisit a few old projects of mine and rework them. A few were duds, but self-indulgent. Some I scrapped entirely. A few were relatively successful for what they were and what I did with them. This one was among those I revisited, and I surprised myself by how quickly I fell into writing it again - the ideas were there, I just don''t think my technical skills were up to snuff for how I wanted it to be when I first started writing this.


    That said, the official RoyalRoad release will start on January 14th, 2025, though I have been and will continue to post a few chapters on SpaceBattles and Scribblehub under the name RE: Deity - The Breath of Creation until that time. This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    Hilariously, at least to me, this is completely contradictory to my previous announcement. I did return. But I can''t say I regret dropping it, either...I needed to grow as a writer and person. I don''t think I was ready for a project of this magnitude, and that was intimidating. In some ways it still is, but...well. This time, I intend to finish. I''ve always known how this story will end. I''m confident now I can write it in a way that''s pleasing to me...and I hope is pleasing to you all.


    I will be available to answer questions for the next few days and such until I sink back into writing. I want to get a good backlog going this time, rather than just writing chapters and immediately posting them, and I''ve got a fair amount written but not as much as I want. Ideally, after an initial chapter dump, I''ll get to posting two or so chapters a week.


    See you soon!
