Today's the day! It's Christmas!

Hey all, just wanted to shoutout that I'm making steady progress with the second draft of Natural Magic. If you're familiar with it, you should check it out. Quite a bit has changed. If you're unfamiliar, I absolutely forbid you from reading it. Please, don't. I'd be embarassed. I know I put it up on a public platform, but fr, please don't read it.

The second draft of Natural Magic is now up to chapter 18.
          
          If you've read the first draft, I invite you to come check it out. There's been quite a few changes.
          
          If you haven't, then I must warn you. The fortunes bode ill. Forces beyond mortal reckoning are working against you, and I advise against taking risks at this time. You are being pursued, and the pursuer has no face. A time will come when the correct words are spoken. Do not wander idly into the night lest it be without end. Establish your anchor in safe waters.

You're looking quite special today if you don't mind me saying. And you do it so effortlessly. What was I saying before you distracted me with your fashion sense? I think I remember it had to do about my book. Please, take a moment from your day of being fabulous to take a look at the new cover. Thanks to the combined efforts of Elchaart and CBMokedi it looks almost as good as you do. The dragon-thing there, looking mischievous, is Chicken, star of this little story I'm telling. I think he came out quite lovely. Anyway, the first twelve parts of the second draft are under that new and attractive thumbnail and I'd love if you'd put those gorgeous eyes of yours on the pages. I'd be doubly pleased if you would leave a comment or three as you do.

Two hours until the community read through.
          Go ahead and post your work here and we'll read some of each aloud in The New Lands discord.

Hello again, you sexy beast. Your visage is stunning and inspires a confusing mix of adoration and terror today.
          
          I just published the blockbusting Chapter 35 today in an update for my up and coming novel Natural Magic, which you may have heard about in several magazines and as breaking news on your local information channel.
          
          In case you haven't heard, Natural Magic is a high fantasy adventure story set in a unique world, inside the Universe Worm. It follows the kobold Chicken, who is a member of the savage reptilian race who live in the inhospitable wastes east of the mountain, as he and his companions combat a growing force which threatens his home.
          
          In Chapter 35, we see what the orcs do with Chicken, who has been captured while fighting with the enemy who lives in his head. Penelope throws down the gauntlet in a seemingly impossible gambit against the leader of the orc nation. Oh no!
          
          I hope you grace it with a read! I'm only a handful of chapters away from a completed first draft.
