Two months with no writing, and I have unlocked a new level of existence. I can see flavor now, taste color, and hear bad Internet connections.
I’d love to check in with you guys about what I’ve been doing, but the answer is largely “Nothing.” It’s been great. I’ve been playing a lot of Valheim. Finished One Piece, and followed up with Dragon Ball. I saw Willy’s Wonderland, a Nicholas Cage comedy/horror movie that’s effectively “John Wick gets trapped inside Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza,” and it now might be my favorite movie of all time. Last month, my goal was to crash and recover. This month, my goal was to do some new things that I normally don’t have the time to do...and I didn’t do a whole lot of that, tbh. The pandemic/quarantine gets in the way of most of my plans. This last and final month, I’m setting aside some actual writing time, just not for Cradle. For whatever side projects I want to waste time on. I’m looking forward to it! Until then, my radio silence continues. I miss you all! Especially you. -Will

I heard that the release date was actually a screw-up on the part of Audible, and Will wasn't happy about it, so he may not want to discuss it.

I just called this successful writer's disease. For some reason when writers aren't starving and the next book is it required to eat for the next 6 months, writers tend to start slowing down. I don't know why?

Been listening to Cradle on audible at work for just over around 2 weeks now and already at the final book, Wintersteel *spoiler for ones who haven’t read* left off with Lindon absorbing a priest, love the series, hope your time off is going great, will definitely be awaiting the next book, got some anime recommendations if you got the time and interest, That time I got reincarnated as a Slime is a good one, new season been coming each week, Black Clover anime is good just manga is better, also two Crunchyroll anime which were adapted from amazingly drawn and written mangas from an app WEBTOON, God of Highschool and Tower of God, the prior is more a real world but hidden powers type series kinda and Tower of God a fantasy story where a weak untaught kid climbs to the greatest heights series kinda, I think they may be you’re taste if you haven’t already tried or heard of them

Also recommend reading some of the manga on WEBTOON, like Omniscient Reader, the two the anime’s are adapted from, God of Highschool and Tower of God and Unordinary and The Gamer, also another manga not in WEBTOON called Solo Leveling, if you got the time they’re worth the read
