This blog post is pulling multiple roles. First, an AMA on Reddit r/ProgressionFantasy is due to launch at 9 PM EST on Tuesday, the 17th, 2024. In short, it’s going up in one hour, and I will be there. Here is your link.   https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgressionFantasy/comments/1fizzqn/ama_with_pirateaba_author_of_the_wandering_inn/   I agreed to do the AMA both for the […]

It’s a strange day. It’s been bad. It’s been relieving. It’s a weight off my back, and it’s not at all fun. So I’m in the mood to talk about writing, for once. I never know what to tell other people who say I motivated them to start writing. I will never, ever (as of […]

I promised a blog on Puerto Rico, and here it is. It’s so great I can remember every detail of my trip. …In April. No, but for real, I delayed writing this blog, and now I have but memories to use, and not the freshest ones at that. If my trip to Puerto Rico was […]

Ahem. Starting April 2024, I will release ~30,000 words only on Saturday instead of twice a week. It is my intention to begin this starting in April so my readers, but especially Patreons, aren’t blindsided by this notice. For the month of March, I’ll be sticking to my regular schedule. As for why—well, that’s a […]

I’ve mentioned I stream while writing. I do it for motivation, because if one person is watching me, I tend to try harder. Not many authors do it; in fact, I’ve only heard of one other person actually writing on stream. That’s because it’s not very engaging, at least compared to someone playing a game […]

I promised to do another blog post, and here it is. 18 days into my br—wait. Where did my break go? No seriously, it feels like it’s flown by. To say that eighteen days have vanished is…well, it feels like 8 days, seriously. I have noticed myself recovering from being so tired. Whether or not […]

New Wiki Site — https://wiki.wanderinginn.com   This is an update, well, one-third into my break. How terrifying! Where did it go? I have two things to talk about. First is that the wiki is moving away from Fandom to another hosting site to mitigate the impact of ads, and so all links and the site […]

It’s 5:27 AM as of writing, and I believe I slept for seven hours? Eight? I cannot tell, and I was trying for nine, and I did sleep nine or ten hours the last few days. I cannot anymore. I was tossing and turning after I woke up. Hungry. I realized there was a part […]

Recap of the last three days. Sunday–my new designated non-writing work day. I did indeed fill hours of it with meetings and other things that surprisingly come up on days like these. I was only ‘free’ for the last four hours of wakefulness and debated working, but I felt like it’d just be work I’d […]

(Book 11, The Titan of Baleros, comes out on November 14th!)   [We are running our yearly survey on the site. If you have time, please consider filling it out as it provides useful information and feedback.]     Recap of my break. Most of it was resting or doing management stuff and not writing. […]

[I am delaying my return to the 14th. Apologies! It’s the best thing to do to keep rested.]   I am almost done. And then the largest actual book I have ever writt–no, wait. The first book I ever wrote was perhaps longer than this. But I never edited it, and that story will never […]

For context, this is a real conversation edited to keep names anonymous in my work Discord two days ago. It was about the Huntsong editing and uh…I’ll let it speak for itself. I’ve cut the part where I worried and stressed for days about how much time I had. I did think my Assistant and […]

I swore that I would write a blog post despite knowing full well that most readers do not necessarily want to read what is essentially Author’s Notes in a more engaging form. Some do. What’s my % of people who’d read this instead of my chapters? 10%? 30%? I doubt the enjoyment is at the […]

Blame weather for this one. I was literally mid-stream working on the chapter back when a storm blew through and blasted my power out. For two days. I have JUST gotten power back and been tossing all my perishables and as you might imagine, during my two days without power I couldn’t write or access […]

I am done. Gravesong, Book 2, has been written. The third arc, Warsong, is done. Actually, I’m changing the name to Thronesong. So you’re getting revisions even now. Speaking of which, I have finished a Draft 1, and it’s…rougher. It’s still hopefully good enough to be the bones of the finished novel, but it’s still […]

I am back with an update on my progress throughout the month of July! To begin with, here is something I am bad at: math.   49500 + 16600 + 17700 = 83,800 words I have written so far. 49500 + 16600 + 41300 = 107,400 the current length of Warsong, pt. 3 of Gravesong […]
