    There's absolutely no need whatsoever to thank your readers for enjoying what is clearly a work of art!  However, I would like to point out that the link for chapter 24 goes to chapter 23.

    Taken care of. I always rush things, don't I? :P

    I've just completed the first draft of Arc 2's epilogue!

    Which technically means... ARC 2 IS DONE!!  \o/

    All that's left now is to go back, reread what I've got so far, and make some edits. I won't be touching DOTE for a while after this, so I want to make sure the writing I leave behind is good.

    Arcs 1 and 2 combined have come out to a little over 153,000 words! (166,000 if you include Brings Rain) It's long, but I don't regret writing any of it. This has been a blast!

    I hope you'll all be satisfied with Arc 2's end when its released.

    Great news! But also sad for us followers, keep us posted on how you book is coming along?

    Assuming 600 words per page (my average in my word doc) that's 255 pages, a respectable length for a book in its own right.

    It's hard to gauge book sizes by page numbers, I find, because page size can vary. Word Count is better. Though if DOTE were to be formatted with typical 1 inch margins and 12 point Times New Roman font, it would be close to 300 pages.

    EDIT:

    And of course, I'll keep you guys posted on whatever I'm up to. I'll still be around.  :)

    Alright! That does it! Arc 2 is officially finished.

    For the past few days I've been working hard on revisions, trying to get ready for another PDF release. It'll included the latest drafts of Arcs 1 and 2 as well as Brings Rain. 

    I've already outlined most of Arc 3, but I won't be starting it for a while. Once my revisions are done, I'll be diving into some research and worldbuilding for my next big personal project. I probably won't reveal much about it, at least for some time, but I'll try to keep you all updated on how things are going.

    To everyone who's stuck with me thus far:

    Thanks. 

    Big thanks in particular go out to Borommakot for being an awesome beta reader!

    I'm really excited for where this story's going to go. I've got a lot of big ideas and big surprises planned. Hopefully they won't disappoint.

    Welp... it's back to editing for me. I'm going to see if I can finish before the end of the week.
