Yes, unfortunately, that is the dreaded status update. If you've noticed no scheduled chapter listed on the fiction page, well, you probably guessed.

The last month, month and a half, has been pretty busy, and my writing has slipped. I don't have enough time, so much that I can't even play Manor Lords! The backlog of relatively complete chapters has emptied, and it's now finally empty (I do have a few chapters that are near complete, but they are all at the end of the book).

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

I'm taking a couple of weeks to try to rebuild that backlog. If that doesn't work, I'll switch to an irregular publication schedule instead, and I'll put chapters when they're ready. But I hope - I really do - I can rebuild stuff now that war is looming.

This note will self-destruct when the next chapter appears.
