New Release: V.5, Ch.99

Here we go, Chapter 99: Across the Plains – enjoy!

Technically its a bit more than 12 hours late but I’m gonna be bold enough to class it as a 50% discount release anyway, due to timing with the exams. So, thank you S. Ceniza for sponsored chapter #9.5 😉

I will try to do the next sponsored release on Saturday, but I probably shouldn’t – so no promises.

I haven’t finished all the prep-work with putting up the synopsis for the fifth volume and all but it will be called Troubled Waters 😉

P.S. Some of you might notice that the amount of sponsored chapters dropped by 1.5 rather than 0.5 today. This because I had missed changing the bar a few chapters back, so I fixed it now (I keep very close track of the donations made and when they are spent so no worries there)

“Slight” delay

Hello everyone!

So, the next chapter – the first of volume 5 – required a bit more prep work from me than I had expected. I changed my mind a couple of times about how I wanted to start it and as a consequence I’m barely halfway done by now. Normal days I would say “Fuck it!”, grit my teeth and keep writing into the night – usually getting done before the first “late dead-line” – but since I’m in the middle of exams I can’t really afford a sleepless night and the ramifications it would bring.

But, fear not; I may need my sleep, but I will continue writing tomorrow – during my study breaks – so the chapter shouldn’t be more than a day late, maybe even less than that.

Sorry for the disappointment, but hopefully it will be worth the wait 😉

New Release: V.4, Ch.98

Finally, the end of the volume arrives in Chapter 98: Trouble at the Horizon – enjoy! It’s slightly late, but it’s a really long one ^.^

This is the 9th chapter sponsored by S. Ceniza (at last, the end is nigh) – thank you!!!

Remember the time I got locked out of my apartment building when I went to buy a midnight snack? Well I almost repeated the process tonight, only this time I wasn’t blocked by a door, but rather a sea of people. Apparently, tonight was the so called Midnight’s Race here in Stockholm. So many people between me and my night open store…!

New Release: V.4, Ch.97

Tada, here is Chapter 97: Awakening – enjoy!
As always, a big thank you to the chapter’s sponsor, who, for the 8th time in a row, is S. Ceniza – thank you!!!

I thought I was catching up with the donations but then people got generous yet again so that gap has increased once more! I’m flattered, thankful and slightly terrified – all at the same time 😉

On another note: how much commercial are people seeing on this site? I don’t see any from my side, but since it’s a free blog wordpress might add some. It would be interesting to know how often they do this.

New Release: V.4, Ch.95

Hello everyone,

I’m sorry about the delay for this chapter but I am very grateful to all the supportive comments I’ve received in light of the passing of my cat – it struck me harder than I had expected…

Anyway, life goes on, and here is Chapter 95: Young Lady Nightingale. Since it is very late it will be counted as a regular chapter. I would like to make it up to you by getting chapter 96 out a bit earlier but my exams are approaching with lightning speed so I’m afraid I can’t make any promises.

As you might have guessed, we are reaching the end of yet another volume and for those interested, I have some minor spoilers/reflections for what’s coming next:

Show/hide (or so I thought… My spoiler-code doesn’t seem to be working… I’ll figure it out in a while).

Also, over the summer I’ve been slowly working on preparing my story for self-publishing so, if all goes well, the first book should be available for order sometime this winter. The first book will be the combination of Volumes 1 & 2 for a better length consistency, but I’ll let you know more when I know more 😉

P.S. I’m lazy so I won’t be changing the volume numbers and such online any time soon…. D.S.

P.P.S. There have been wishes for a ‘Table of Content’ page for the Whisper of the Nightingale story and, since the sidebar is getting ridiculously long, I am considering putting one together. However, due to previously mentioned reasons it might take a while D.D.S.

Rest in peace, my darling Issildur… 

30 minutes ago, due to numerous unforeseen complications, my beloved Issildur had to be put down.

I have had many cats over years but none as cuddly and lovable as Issildur was. I’m having a hard time grasping that he won’t be nuzzling his way under the bed sheets to sleep next to me ever again, nor will he claim his undisputed spot in my lap whenever I sit down to watch TV… He will be dearly missed.

Rest, my dear Issildur – rest in peace.

Needless to say, I wouldn’t be too expectant on a chapter tonight…
