Hello everyone, Tyrus here. Time for yet another report.

Firstly, progress has, admittedly been slow. I've been working a lot and have struggled with writing some parts of the book. I'm not so sure a January finish day is possible any more, but I'll still try to finish it as soon as possible. As I believe I mentioned before, I already have everything outline of what I want to happen, I just need to actually write everything. As of today, the book currently sits at 24087 words. The first book was about 55k words, and I, once again, plan to make book 2 longer, so I'd say I'm only about 40%~ done. Maybe the book will be around 60-70k words. Depending on how I write, we'll just have to wait and see.

Secondly, I will say something special is coming soon! I won't say much yet, but I have been working with somebody else to make something special happen on this website soon. There's going to be a new addition with something cool. I won't say much, but in the next update report, hopefully it will be done.

Thirdly, if possible, I would like everyone who has read my book so far to please leave a review somewhere! Whether it's on amazon, indigo, etc., I'd love to hear your thoughts about what you read! Hearing your feedback helps me grow as a writer and gives me a lot of motivation. As I've mentioned before, I write because I want to make an impact. So, please, tell me how much the story impacted you! Tell me what you liked, disliked, and your general thoughts about my style! Even a small "I liked it" really helps my motivation, so please leave a review wherever you can!

That's all for this update report. Thank you for your support, and I hope you continue to anticipate the next installment in The Advent series!

Hello everyone, Tyrus here.

Today's my birthday! I am now 20 years old! To my personal friends and family, thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. I got a cool new monitor that I'm hoping I can use to writer better! Hoping this next year of my life is better than the last and I can improve even more as a person and an author.

​Thanks for the wishes, here's to another year!

Hello everyone. Tyrus here. Time for another update report.

First, progress on book 2 has been slower than I would like...I've been busy with work and other stuff. Persona 3 Reload has had me in a chokehold for the past few weeks. But! Progress is progress, and I'm still going to get it done! I'm going to really push this next two weeks to try and make up for lost time. Chapter 7 is being worked on and I have a good idea of how I want it to go.

Second, I think I'll share a little more detail about what happens in Book 2! As previously mentioned, it will focus more on worldbuilding and lean more towards the adventure side of things. You'll see important worldbuilding elements like the culture of other places, currency, transportation, and foods! It's actually really fun thinking of what kind of stuff would exist fifteen thousand years after humanity has died out and fish people come up on land to rebuild. I spend a LOT of time thinking about my book and how the world works in my spare time. I think I should use that time to actually write though...

Thirdly, my personal life...As most of you know, I am proudly Canadian. But I do have a lot of friends from different countries and places. Because I'm not from those places, it makes sense that I shouldn't have too many comments about how the countries should work and what happens there, including politics. And I don't want to talk about politics any more than I need to, because frankly, I feel somewhat conditioned to be scared of the topic whenever it's brought up, but I will just say this for my American friends and readers: I hope all of you stay safe in the coming years. The main reason I became a writer is because I wanted to tell stories. Stories of people in seemingly hopeless situations against unstoppable, undefeatable opponents. I love stories like this, because they can relate to reality at times. But, at least in my stories, those people rise up and overcome the horrible obstacles that are thrown their way. So...I hope everyone who reads my stories finds a little bit of hope and inspiration in them. I genuinely want to give people some joy, entertainment and hope from my stories, and I hope I deliver on that promise.

Apologies for this off-topic and somewhat irrelevant paragraph. I just hope one day we can have a good world where we can all agree on stuff and work together for a brighter world. I will refrain from mentioning politics unless I absolutely have to. With that being said, I hope you all stay hopeful, and anticipate the next installment in The Advent novel series!
