Dark Apostle: Blog

I’m on a roll—a massive, massive thanks to my editor. Steven is the fucking man. Chapter eight won’t be posted until the end of the week. Nine is already in the works, but there might be a break in between; I’ve got a hell of a lot going on right now, so don’t expect chapter ten for at least a couple of weeks. Honestly, I’m fucking thrilled with how this is all coming together. I haven’t gotten bored for a second, and the compliments keep pouring in. The score keeps climbing, and I might finally crack that coveted 8.0. You ready? Let’s fucking go.

Nothing major, just some money and a few things my editor and some eagle eyed views pointed out, fucking nice catch! My editor is a money guy too, so he's helping me with the money system.

Well, shit — this seems to be going pretty damn well. As always, my editor’s hot on it, and this time I actually listened to his idea — and lo and behold, a 7.23 score. It dipped to 7.20 for a bit, but bounced right back with this one.

Chapter 7’s in the works, and I’m already knee-deep in eight. I’m genuinely glad you guys are enjoying this as much as I am writing it. The best part is the world-building — the economy, the serf/peasant system, the city dynamics, all of it. I’m doing my best to keep things as historically accurate as possible.

So, to all the history buffs out there — if you spot any glaring mistakes, feel free to ping me. All criticism is welcome!

Chapter six is now done and in the queue for posting. I don’t think I say this often enough, but—fuck—I love my editor. The dude just knows his stuff. I hope all of you have one as good as mine. And no, you can’t have him.

This chapter has now been submitted for posting, and it’s been quite a journey to get here. We’ve done a lot of work—this story has gone through five different iterations and has now been updated and edited by Steven. A big thank you to Steven, who has helped me tremendously in understanding farm life, especially medieval farm life, including peasants, serfs, lords, and all the details in between.

This chapter will serve as the introduction to James’s new family. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed tearing it apart and rewriting it fifty times!
