I don’t think I’m good at writing steampunk-style titles. None the less, Awakening Part 9 is now available.
Classes are going well so far. Thanks everyone for the well-wishes on my return to higher education.

The continuation of Terra Fabula, Awakening, Part 5 has been posted.
As we continue on through this journey, I’m realizing that there’s a great number of things I’ve built in my head that have never made it here. Worse yet is mentally sorting what’s current, what’s from the prior revisions, and what hasn’t been seen at all (other than by my cats). My notes, honestly, are terrible.
Some of the omissions I discovered this week, as I went back and corrected small but boneheaded spelling errors through most of Terra Fabula. I’m not entirely sure how they slipped by, but I’m confident I’ve squashed most of them. I may have been designing this universe of theirs for the past 15 years, but I’m hardly what anyone would call a professional author.
With today’s installment, I’ve included what I feel is a major omission in regards to explaining a key part of the Val’Traxan culture. I think it’s been made clear that AIs are an integral part of their lives; some of what we look at in our own society as big-brotherish, they take for granted as part of a social contract. They are being watched. And for them, it works. It wouldn’t for everyone. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t for us.
I’d also like to give thanks to someone who’s helped stabilize the foundations of the universe over the last several months. I haven’t asked if he wants his online name in public for this assistance, so I won’t include it (yet). But I hope he knows I’m very grateful for the help he’s provided in finding gaping holes in the underlying framework, once I peeled back the drywall to peek behind.
As proof of my non-death I present you with Part 3 of Awakening.
Slowly but surely, Terra Fabula continues to fight its way out of my cranium. Awakening parts one and two are up.
Paradigm Shift is briefly on hold, until a bit more of TF rolls out the door. I’m assuming you don’t want to know that interesting things happen in the time between them that I’m not going to tell you just yet, and that you’d be upset if I pulled the curtain early. It’s likely everything everyone expects, anyway, but you never know.
I won’t have weekly updates for a while, like I was doing before, but I’ll get things up as I get them done. Enjoy.
