Hey guys, I've decided to take a couple month hiatus until the first book is published, for the following reasons in no particular order:

  1. I just don't have time. I'm a senior at college and between other events/classes/my senior project/applying for jobs I've been quite stressed lately.

  2. I've barely made any progress revising while writing new chapters; I just can't multitask that well.

  3. I want to concentrate all my efforts on making the novel as good as I can. To be honest, this is probably the first project that I really, REALLY want to do well, and that means I want to give it my all.

  4. While I have an idea of where I want to go from the last chapter, I have no idea how I'm getting there. This time will help me think through and outline the rest of the Academy arc better.

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  So, thanks for reading, my next update will hopefully be in mid-January with a link to the book, followed by new chapters :P.

  P.S. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, you have been a large part of what's motivated me to want to write more and better.

  P.P.S. I think I'm going to start the novel with Alan's initial wake up in the Game, and just have a more succinct prologue that condenses that whole first bit.

  P.P.P.S. I'll still be checking on RoyalRoadl every now and then, so if you leave a comment or message me I'll read it, sooner or later.
