--==( Sibling Magus )==--
I've just emailed chapter 24 to my editors for corrections and comments. It should only be a couple more days and I'll be submitting 22-24. I'm doing it this way only because the three chapters make up a mini-episode.
Over the holidays, I ended up watching a lot of TV (mostly because my kids took over my computer) and it donned on me that I might be able to pull off something similar. No, I'm not going to break things up into short 3-4 chapter stories as episodes, but within this story, I'm going to focus on mini-episodes like the one I mentioned. It should both help me keep things going and give all of you more to read with each posting. :)
As usual (or should be since I haven't mentioned this in a long while) shoot me emails on your thoughts, good, bad, or ugly!

First, I want to thank everyone who made donations, not only for this last issue, but for everything throughout the year. I know I haven't finished Sibling Magus yet, and that is why I'm offering up this list of goals for the New Year.
The Twins are back home with their mother today, which means I only have to worry about the usual distractions while writing. Over the next few days, I'll be finishing off drafts and sending them to my editors. It could be as early as this weekend for the next installment. I appreciate everyone's patience.

The plan was for the twins to spend both weeks here with me for their Christmas break, but my daughter, who has been diagnosed as bi-polar, wants to go home to see her friends and spend some of her time off with her mom.
Right now, we're looking at taking the twins home on Wednesday (New Years Day) but we could be leaving as early as tomorrow. The real complication is only having one car for the house and my sister needing it to get back and forth to work.
Unfortunately, we were originally planning to take the twins home on Saturday (the 4th) because we would have the money the day before for the trip. With this change, I'm forced to ask for help.
The goal is $75.00. Any donations anyone can make will be helpful and appreciated. I have a Paypal debit card, so donations should be made through Paypal via my email address (technicdragon@gmail.com)
I know I haven't posted any new chapters lately but I have made some headway in getting some writing done. Any donations made will earn donors copies of the rough drafts of the up-and-coming chapters.
Thank you for your help, and Happy New Year!

Edit: Currently, I'm about $15.00 shy of my goal. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
--==( Updates )==--
Earlier this week, I submitted updates to New Magus and Child Magus. The updates included various corrections throughout both stories as well as an appendix at the end of both and a review of characters at the beginning of Child Magus.
I recall getting many a email asking for such things, mostly because of the time span between postings of the two stories (as well as the time span between Child Magus and Sibling Magus), but now that I've updated the stories with those listings - to keep everything consistent with the layout - I'm getting emails about how the additions are distracting.
I know I can't make everyone happy, so to those who believe those chapters are distracting, I'll change them so they aren't listed as chapters but "Cast" at the beginning and "Appendix" at the end, that way you can skip them if desired.
--==( Happy Holidays )==--
I went and picked up my kids today. They'll be spending the next two weeks with me. I'll continue writing, but will probably end up too distracted to get a whole lot done. The donations were very much appreciated and helped immensely. Thank you.
Happy holidays everyone! May love and peace shine on you and through you!
