Hey all!


As I've mentioned a few times, I'm expecting a baby soon!

Well, soon has turned into "Probably this week". I'll try to keep you all updated, but there's no telling if I'll be able to.


If I suddenly drop off the face of the planet, it's A) Because I'm in the hospital with baby, and B) I will post all the backlogged chapters. I promise.


However, once baby has shown up, I will probably reduce my posting rate to 3x a week for the first few months, just because baby will be eating up all my time. I'll try to post some bonus chapters whenever possible, and, well, last time I tried to post "only" 3 chapters a week I promptly failed, went to every other day, and two days later went to 5x a week. We'll see what happens.


In short, my promises, and feel free to hold my feet to the fire over them:

1) If I poof, I will post all the make-up chapters once I get back home.

2) My bare minimum will be 3x chapters a week.

3) If I discover I somehow can't be a parent and continue BTDEM (which I doubt, but you never know), I will not infinite hiatus. I will post the ending, and give you all closure. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT this will happen, but if I haven't posted anything in weeks, ping me relentlessly on discord until I do. No infinite hiatus. No poofing. Nada. This one's unlikely to happen.


On a different note, I apologize to my [Archmage] and [Master] supporters - you guys asked for a bonus chapter with Elaine's parent's reaction to her running away, and I'm not going to be able to deliver it this week. Too many other items are higher-priority, like taking the car to the seat certification to check that it's properly installed, and doing a major edit pass-through on the regular content. I haven't forgotten that I owe you all that chapter, and the moment I'm able to generate high-quality bonus content again, that's first on my list. 


I'd like to thank all of your for your support and understanding at this time. Hey, its taken becoming a new parents to derail my posting schedule, and almost nothing short of that will be able to derail it again :)


Cheers, and thank you all,


Selkie


PS: I'm going to shamelessly @everyone on discord once my baby girl's born. Baby tax *might* be provided.

you know baby pictures are the equivalent of posting chapters.

Congratulations on the baby! Take your time and enjoy life!

Slow down on chapters. Write to preserve sanity when appropriate but focus on family.

Preliminary congratulations! Please get all the sleep you can now, because it's all you're going to get for the next year.

3 times a week is still 3 times more than most of the people I'm a patreon of, and for some it's even much higher.

Please plan on taking a 3+ month hiatus one your little one is born. I cannot stress how much you will not want to stress about chapters. Just take a break. We'll be waiting.

Hope it goes smooth!

Exactly this. Whether your little one is an easy one, or a colicky one that one day cried for 8 hours and you timed it and logged it all in a spreadsheet just to prove to your partner that you weren't crazy, take that 3 months (I may have had one of each). If you feel the need to write, add it to your backlog, but take a break from the stress of deadlines for a while. Also, lots of luck.

Take your time. We just had a our first baby, also a girl girl, two weeks ago and I can understand how your schedule can be impacted.

I sometimes forget authors have lives outside of their books and this took me by surprise. I hope you have your baby smoothly and send us them cute baby pics on discord soon. Take care Selkie
