!! Update, we're in November again !!

Hi, let me update you on what happened.

I know everyone is frustrated and tired of waiting but I'm getting there.

Since I posted the last update here, my grandfather died and it delayed my writing some more. I really loved my grand-father so it hit me hard. Last time I gave you an update, I said my grandfather was slowly getting better but his health just took a nosedive in September. He died the 19th of September at the age of 83. I'll leave it at that, because this isn't really the place to talk about this.

This year was just so bad on so many level. I just want it to be over. This is definitely the worst year of my life by orders of magnitude. I feel tired and defeated but also guilty about not writing new chapters quicker or giving everyone more consistent updates about what's going on. It just feels like my time is running away from me. Every time I look at a calendar, weeks have passed and nothing has been done.

I want to say that I'm working on the next chapter but I'm not yet. I'm just working on fixing my mental state still. Then I'll re-read the last few chapters I wrote, possibly the whole arc (it shouldn't be too long its only 32 chapters) I'll re-check my notes and I'll dive into writing again.

I don't want to leave you all hanging again for months however so come hang out on the discord channel or twitch to talk about the novel or anything else. Help refresh my mind and whatnot.

It isn't my intention to inflate my twitch viewership using the readers of Born from a divine gamble, I don't plan to be a streamer at all in fact. I don't have a good voice and I lack proper equipment and willpower. I also believe that most successful streamers just got lucky one day and I don't have good luck. No, I'm on twitch because it's just convenient to talk to everyone, to prove that I'm not dead and it also feels less like I'm wasting my time playing a game to help my mind relax.

So, if you want to pester me or just get back in the novel like me here are the links.

I'm on discord more consistently now that my computer can keep it open along with other programs and as for twitch, I guess I've mainly been playing Path of exile recently as I'm trying to get the league rewards.

I could do a writing or worldbuilding stream but I don't want to spoil the story for anyone. I can talk about what has been written already all day however, for this story or the others I've published. (no that doesn't mean I'm streaming all day, I can't because I'm sharing my connection with others who actually need it for work.)

Anyway, I sincerely hope that I'll be able to get a new chapter out soon. I know that no one is actually believing me and it all feels like empty words but I'm trying my best to get myself back together and into the flow of writing.
