Happy Monday Everyone,

So, LitRPG Con was an absolute blast. I moderated my first ever live panel, for Travis Baldree, Jeff Hays, Matt Dinniman, Aleron Kong and Jez Cajiao. It was the opening ceremonies to hundreds of people in a packed room, and it was pretty insane. The whole experience was amazing, between games sessions, panels, workshops and drinks at the bar. It was by far the best convention I've ever been to, and I was sad when it ended.

I do want to give a shoutout to those of you who messaged to see if I was okay when you heard about the fire at LitRPG Con. Even then, when all of us were outside at like 3am in the cold, watching the fire trucks dealing with the situation... it was still fun!

That said, the jetlag was an absolute killer. Flying nearly 10hrs each way to Denver was a nightmare, and doing both trips within a week had me exhausted for the following five days. My first proper night sleep was only two days ago, so I genuinely needed the rest.

Five chapters this week. I wrote 8 in total, but really wasn't happy with three of them. The characterisation is something I still want to work on with some of these, and the descriptions are a little lacking in the early ones, but I wasn't going to take another week to obsess over them. I'll be coming back to them in the editing phase, but the storyline is the important part.

Let me know what you all think of them. It's good to be back!

Brian
