I've been gone for three months, and I only gave you two reports on what I was doing, so that means I owe you a final report on what I've been doing!
Spoiler Alert: the answer is "not much." But before that, just to let you know, Cradle: Path of Gold (the second collection of books, so volumes 4-6) is FREE today! And maybe for a couple of days, I don't know. But if you're halfway through the series and you want to pick up three Kindle books for free, now's the time! Of course, these books are always free to listen on Audible Plus, but I know some people are like me and prefer to read with their eyes rather than their ears. Anyway, on to what I've been doing... I took a week and stayed in a cabin writing for fun, as I suggested I would last time. I enjoyed it, but I didn't come away with a BIG IDEA or half a book or something, like I was kind of hoping. Instead, I came out with a bunch of little ideas. Some of them might crawl their way to you at some point, but for the most part they were just a way to stretch my writin' muscles. I did a lot of reading this last week or two--mostly a week--because I finally started on The Wandering Inn. And there is, uh, there is a LOT of it. I've read two million (ish) words in the last week (ish) and I'm not even at the halfway mark yet. Plus it's ongoing. I might end up recommending it, but I'm told the best is yet to come, and I want to at least catch up before I offer my humble opinion. Let's see, what else? I got my sister started on Stardew Valley after years of attempts on my part, and now she's losing sleep to make sure her flowers make perfect rows down to her crops. It's been weird coming back, because I used to have more work to do. I had a lot to do other than just write, and now most of those non-writing tasks have been taken over by members of The Team, so I'm feeling kind of superfluous right now. Hey, more time for writing! -Will

Welcome back! And enjoy The Wandering Inn, I enjoyed it back when I read it. I just fell off the updates (as with most of my web stuff) back in March when I moved to WFH. Not sure why, but my feedly log is thousands long, so... that'll be something to go through. At some point.

I just started stardew, it's great. I think I forget to blink while I play. I unintentionally bombed my crops while trying to harvest

Welcome back! Hope you do your stream for the book release. Maybe some Subnautica (I FINALLY got it after I first saw it on your stream)?

Welcome back!! Boy I was surprised by all these announcements. I was like “It was just a month since I read your last post right!?!?” Then some giggling and hyperventilating. Seriously dude. You made my day. I don’t how I’m supposed to sleep now.

Super jealous of your vacation / writer's retreat! Thanks so much for the give-away of Path of Gold. Now I can finally free up some space in my Kindle Unlimited roster (I've been flat-out refusing to return any of your books). Looking forward to the next installment!

If i had one question answered, it would be how the pricing of the books are made. It dosnt seem page related. If you take a look on the current amazon, uncrowned is more expensive then wintersteel (the book with the most content/pages), while bloodline is close to wintersteel with the price but not with the page count.

Good to have you back Will, I hope your vacation gave you a good chance to rest, relax and fight off all those evil clones I've been unleashing into the wild.

If you're sister likes organizing things to her liking, she might also like Littlewood. You can move the whole village around and even make hills or lakes.

TWI is fantastic. Pirate grinds out more words than I can fathom and the writing and storylines get so much richer as the series progresses.

Soon will, we'll remove the need to physically type out the words you write while writing by hiring somebody for that.

Every April 1st I always check back here to see if Will put something. That, in turn, reminds me of his "release schedule" from a prank a few years back. Turns out Will is only 7 months behind schedule on Cradle. So I guess its pretty accurate. Looking forward to "I Reincarnated into an Online Game as a Healer" and maybe we'll get that Travelers Gate series about the dolls. One can dream.
