    Ha. I should mention my current favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. The guy can write a 400k novel in less than a year. No matter how good you think you are at something, there's always someone better...

    But thank you for saying this. Really. I needed something uplifting.

    OH NO WAY. Is Sanderson a robot?!? Try not to compare yourself to better writers too often - get inspired, not disheartened. 

    And don't worry dude, I'll be your Adoring Fan anytime.  *doting eyes*

    (Sorry, couldn't resist)

    Okan, have you checked out Brandon's YouTube channel, Write About Dragons? It's got a lot of his lectures (and also lectures from other people).

    I'm not sure how basic the info in a lot of his lectures is, but it could prove helpful or, at the very least, interesting.

    I have checked them out, actually! He also has a podcast called Writing Excuses. I've been listening to a lot of it lately. It's great stuff.

    Just to encourage folks who are waiting for the next chapter, I've set the progress bar to 170%. I'm nearly finished with the next two chapters, 19 and 20. Plus I've also started 21. Progress is happening.

    19 and 20 are short chapters, sadly. :P Still, I am very eager to finish Arc 2. I'm going to work as fast as I can.

    I think you read something wrong. This story is far from complete. My next chapter is at 100%...

    But I'm not even done with Arc 2! You want to know how many Arcs I have planned?

    Five.

    Five arcs! I was thinking of asking you how many you had planned, but I think I had forgotten. Five arcs, though!  What a commitment!
