It's out at last. Chapter 32. The first glimpse into dragon society.
          	
          	It took way to long to get this out. But know that I now have some resemblance of backlog and I'm writing just a bit more now. Cranking in about 500-800 words a day. Sometimes a bit more.  The train is going once again!
          	
          	On another note my internet has been driving me insane. It's been going on and off and on and off. That's why I release this so late (Where I am at least)
          	
          	Not much more to say than that. Enjoy the chapter, the good stuff is coming! 
          	
          	Other than that, great days to you all!

Chapter 31 is up and ready for reading. Nothing much too interesting. The good stuff is coming up real soon though.
          
          However I make this announcement to say that I'm out of backlog. Which means chapters come out whenever I feel they are finished. And my schedule has less time to write than last year, so it will be a bit slow. I'm sorry to anyone who liked my weekly schedule. I quite liked it.
          
          But alas. This is a very annoying year for writing. Know I still work on this book. Every day. Even if it's just a few hundred or so words.
          
          On another note I'm gonna start updating the art book again. Figured out how to get some photos imported and very recently I went on a big drawing spree. So expect to see some of those.
          
          Thank you all for your patience! You're truly the best
          Have a great day!
          
          Till next time!

@GeneralZarax Keep at it, you're doing great ;)
            
            Things are slowing down for me too since coming back from my holiday. I definitely don't think I'll manage more than one chapter this month...
            
            Looking forward to seeing some more of your art book though. And I hope you're having a great day too!

Ooooh happy late birthday to meee! 
          
          It was last Sunday. But I've been crazy busy this week. So after way too much delay I am glad to announce that A Man and a Beast is back in business! The first chapter of the third part dropped several minutes prior to me writing this.
          
          As I thought, my horrid burnout is for the most part annihilated. That break really helped. So expect to see this book done. Sooner or later.
          
          However, this time around I might not be doing my week by week schedule. I'm not really walking into this with 12 chapters of backlog. Currently all I got is two. So until I can build a safe foundation. I'm going to be updating the book twice a month. That's every two  weeks. I certainly hope I can somehow squeeze in a third and maybe even 4th a month. But I really don't know with what life has been throwing at me.
          
          So I really thank you all for your patience and kind words. I'll see you all around!
          
          Great day to you all!

@GeneralZarax Happy Birthday again :)
            Hope it was great!
            
            Glad to hear that you've gotten through the last of your burnout too. Good luck with the rest of your rewrite!

tomorrow I have a very big announcement to make. While I would have liked to get it done today, or even on Sunday, I have been extremely busy as of late. And tomorrow I finally get some free time. So prepare yourselves. For it will feature the future of my book! (Which don't worry. It's a good future for those who want to see it's end)

GeneralZarax

Would have liked to get the latest chapter out a lot sooner. I wanted to run through it a few more times but my burnout has limited me.
          
          On that topic, yes, I've burned myself out. Contradictory to my last announcement, it happened. I ignored it for a time but I have now come to face the truth. Nearly 8 months of nearly nonstop writing of hundreds and sometimes a thousand words every weekday really built up something. And some weeks ago it all came crashing down.
          
          So as to not worsen my writing exhaustion, I will be putting my story on a hiatus until I manage to get out of this annoying burnout. I know, I hate it too. But this won't be an overly massive pause. My best guess is I might get back to work sometimes in late August. Hopefully before my birthday hits (Which is at the end of that month so it shouldn't be too hard). 
          
          I ask for your patience. And I thank you for whatever you can give. Know that while I'm not writing, I am getting some pre-planning in for the later series. So I actually know what I'm doing when I get there.
          
          Until then, I might boot up more artwork. I'm thinking of trying out painting this summer, only it's too hot outside! And I fear getting paint everywhere inside. Rather inconvenient timing for me to try something new. But I'll update the art book if I ever get something done on that.
          
          Thank you all for your support, I'll see you all around. Best days until then!

@GeneralZarax do you know what you need to do. No rush, my friend. Take your time.

@GeneralZarax Sorry to hear about the burnout, hope you get an opportunity to relax and straighten everything out :)
            
            Take your time too, I have every intention of re-reading A Man and a Beast - and any sequels that may follow - whenever they may arrive ;)
            
            I'd love to give painting a try. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

@GeneralZarax take all the time you need! It's better to enjoy what you're doing than not enjoy your summer.
            
            Hope you're doing well in life and hope the best for your story.

Apparently I forgot to schedule my chapter and just now found out it wasn't posted. Completely my fault. The next few should be all ready to go.
          
          On that note, I'd like to address similar things. My backlog of chapters is starting to run short. These last few months haven't been particularly fruitful. Even when I inevitably run out of buffer chapters, I will try my best to get you all the updates you deserve.
          
          By some miracle of God I haven't gotten severe burnout from writing. But it has been slowing and I'd be a fool to ignore it. So I thought it best to let you all know there might be an approaching time where chapters don't come out once a week.
          
          I thank you all for your support. Have a great day wherever you may be!
          Until then!

@DragonsDwelling Thank you. I will try and maintain somewhat a resemblance of my current scheduling. The big reason I've been fine with a steady week by week is thanks to the dozen chapters I wrote before I started publishing. It proved to be a great choice as I have been given a lot of flexibility.
            
            If it so comes to it, I might return to my old 1-2 pattern: One chapter every two weeks. Essentially how you do yours. It worked before and I believe it can work again. Hopefully I can get the ball rolling again before then. 
            
            Day was fine. A tired one for sure. I write this half awake. Enjoy your own day!

@GeneralZarax No worries! Post whenever it suits you - honestly, it's incredible that you've been able to post a chapter every week.
            Hope you're having a great day too! I can't wait to reread your book - seems like there's a lot of new stuff in it.

Are you there?

GeneralZarax

@Cool05guy2000 Yes I am. 
            
            I saw your suggestion and thought about it. But ultimately I'm rather busy with life and have many other things to do and read relating to other subjects beyond this site. Writing my own story takes enough of my free time.
            
            But thank you anyways.
            
            And have a great day.
