Weekly writing progress:
Of course I simply MUST put my new book at the top of the blog post. You can buy it here!
Not too much to report on book 3 progress. Things are still trucking along. I've got about 4 chapters edited since last posting. I've had a pretty stressful couple of weeks with private crap (nothing serious, it just doesn't take much to up my anxiety), so I ended up not updating last week. As time marches on, there is less book stuff for me to update on. It's going to just be "I'm editing" followed by "I'm still editing" - so I'm going to probably drop down the amount of updates to biweekly unless there is something I want to talk about in particular.

What I've been up to:
TV
Acolyte finale was excellent. I love, love, love this show. Great acting. Great directing. Great usage of the IP to tell a story that, while it's not completely unique, was told in a fresh way. And the lightsaber battles made the child in me scream with joy. So cool.
Invincible - We finished the second season and I really, really liked it. I will say that Invincible coming around on his father after he murdered just SOOOOO many people is not my favorite, but who am I to judge? I like getting hints at the Viltrumite politics/structure. I loved the episode dedicated to Eve. I loved the twists and the shocking deaths. Lot of fun.
The Boys - I've loved this show since season 1, and I still love it. I think it's starting to flounder a bit, but we are only two episodes in. I like that Frenchie has gotten a boyfriend, though I don't love the idea of yet another doomed gay romance on a big budget TV show, so we'll see how that goes. The Boys is equal opportunity with its deaths and gore, so I'd never accuse it of the "bury your gays" trope, but (and I could be wrong about this), isn't this the first MM romance on the show? I can't think of another one. Regardless! I've been having a good time with the episodes we've watched.
Books
A Crown of Swords - I've still only read a couple more chapters since last posting. Every chapter I read, I like, but I've been getting to bed later and that's when I read (before bed), so I just haven't been making as much progress as usual.
Games
Not much to report here. I've been playing the hell out of Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail and I've been having a really good time.
