Good morning, everyone. Tyrus here. Let's have another report.

First of all, I'm not joking around anymore. The manuscript will be finished in less than three weeks. Chapter 22 is only a few sentences away from completion, and I have a good idea of what I want for chapter 23. It feels insane that these last few months have taken this long, but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for continuing to put up with my inconsistency. I'm almost done now, and I'll finally start the final editing and start the publication process. Book 1 already gave me a great idea of how to do both of those things, so hopefully, things will go smoother. However, I'm sure you guys know by now that I am never that lucky. I'm as smooth as glass...broken glass.

Second of all, I finally made a third short video! It's on my Instagram, Bluesky, Tiktok and Youtube. It talks about how Fire Magic works! I'm thinking about doing short videos about how each type of magic works and what they can do. I'm still pretty uncomfortable with voice-over, so that might take a while...However, on my main channel, I DID make a video showing some clips I got in Team Fortress 2. If you want to see some low-quality clips (The bitrate was messed up when recording), I'll link them here. If you don't know me outside of author stuff, you might be surprised to learn I have a gaming channel. Just wait until I start streaming!

Fire Magic:

TF2:

And finally, personal life...it's okay. Not much has changed, actually. Don't really know what to say here. I am still working at my regular job, trying to write and get a vehicle. A few days ago, Undertale had its 10th anniversary, and that's a game that's very important to me, if that's anything to talk about. Other than that, I really don't have much to say here.

That's all for today. Thanks for reading, and I hope you all continue to anticipate the next installment in the Advent Novel series!

Good evening everyone, it's Tyrus. Lets start this report.

First of all, book 2 is nearing completion. The only things left to do is chapters 22 and 23, along with editing. Chapter 24 has been completed already (I did them out of order since I felt like I was making more progress with 24 than 22.) Chapter 24 is now officially the longest chapter in the book, with over 5000 words. And honestly, I think it might be the best worldbuilding and character interaction I've written so far. I'm very proud of it, and I cannot wait for everyone to read it all when it's done!

Second of all, I have finally started making short videos again. I didn't really make them, since I'm so uncomfortable with voice over, but I'm finally sucking it up and just doing it. I've started a new short video right now, and it's going to go more in-depth about Fire Magic. If anyone would like to see a short about a specific topic, let me know, I'll happily explain anything!

Third of all, personal life. Things are actually going pretty okay. I got some dental work done today, which explains why this report is being made later in the day. I've been feeling a little more motivation, and I was able to write 700, 1000, and 600 words within just a few days of each other, much better than I was doing before! Hopefully I can ride this motivation just a little longer, and I can finish book 2 by Late-Fall. I can't express how disappointed I am that this book has taken so much longer than my first one, but I've never stopped writing and thinking of my book. I really hope that everyone enjoys the finished product.

That's all for today, thank you again for enduring my erratic writing behavior, and I hope you all continue to anticipate the next installment in the Advent Novel series!
