On the possible Patreon front...

over the past couple of days, got 9 of them done up, and I have outlines for about 10 more, so I think it's possible for me to get it set up.

then I can go back to finishing the book.

not sure why this ending is getting hard. I mean, I know how it should go, but there's a piece I keep writing around. It's almost like...

like the characters don't want it to happen. But it has to happen if I'm going to make things work. Maybe I need to just let my brain free-write for a bit and see what comes out.

okay, a total of 22 topics right now:

...and I just realized I need to put in three more that I didn't make the pages for yet, the Gods, the Corrupted Gods, and the Saints. So that's 25. That's a good six months of essays, especially since some of them are going to be full of secrets.

I'm looking forwards to a) releasing the full map and b) the exploring the world part, especially since I get to talk about places like the town with the hot springs, and a town whose name translates to "worst place to live".

Sounds like a good plan and will build interest in your stories.

That's the plan.

Also, because I cannot not be a bit of a cheese pirate, the section on how law enforcement works begins with: "In the Imperial justice system, the Populace is represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the Questioners who investigate crime, and the Judiciarates who judge the offenders. Clang clang"
