Update Report 3

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!
