Good afternoon, everyone. Tyrus here. This will be my last report of 2025.

Let's review what happened this year: Book 2 is finished and almost done editing! I could probably get editing done by the end of the week; that's how close I am to finishing. I also got my driver's license, got a car, and finally moved out! I've upgraded my computer, started making short videos (Even if I haven't done them in a while), and overall feel like I did a lot this year. But I'm not too satisfied. My resolution was to finish and publish the book, and looking back, you can see I wanted to get the book finished WAY earlier in the year. But, there was a lot of family stuff that happened with my Grandfather's passing (Rest in peace, Papa, I love you) and that really fucked me up this year. I don't want this to sound like a sob story or anything, but this year was...Rough, to say the least. I don't think I'm even close to publishing Book 2, and I've barely started the first chapter of Book 3. Art takes time, but sometimes it feels like it takes too long.

But, the most important thing is that I'm still here. I'm still writing and working, and I'm moderately happy. And that's okay for now. Stuff is still getting done. I firmly believe that you never truly lose in life unless you give up. Everything else is just a draw.

I can't say much after that. This year was unsatisfying, and I want to do even better next year. And I hope you all want to do better too. That's all for this report, I hope you all have happy holidays and a happy new year!

Good evening, everyone, it's Tyrus. Here's another report.

First of all, editing book 2 is going well. I've completed about half of the book so far, and I'm pretty happy with how it's shaping up. Book 3 is on hold for now until I finish my editing, but I still do have great plans for it. Editing isn't an easy task; I have to make sure everything is consistent and there's no plotholes. Along with checking the characters' grammar and speech patterns (Eris and Scott are hard to write), it's pretty tough. But I am still pushing to get it done.

Second, I have started streaming! I have only played TF2 recently, but come follow me to see when I stream next!

Third, personal life. I have FINALLY moved out, and I'm living with some friends. I'm also trying to get another job since my current job cut my hours. Technically I have more free time to write, but motivation is all over the place and it's hard to push myself some days. I also recently got a tooth extracted, and...Jesus, please take care of your teeth, everyone. It was without a doubt the most painful thing I've had to go through in a long time. I even got a double dose of painkillers, and it was still horrible. Take care of yourselves, everyone.

Anyway, that's all from me today. Thanks for reading as always. I hope you continue to anticipate the next installment in the Advent Novel Series!
