Hello everyone, and thank you again for reading my blog and/or following me on storiesonline.net.
Chapter 9 of "A Life Discovered" is nearly ready for release and will be available online in a few days.
I send huge thanks to @B1084 for taking the time to send extensive comments and suggestions on the chapters published so far. As a result of their work, I'll also publish updated versions of Chapters 1, 2, and 3 simultaneously with Chapter 9. There are no significant plot updates, so you don't need to re-read these earlier chapters to make sense of the later ones, but they should read better now and give you a clearer idea of some of the key concepts. I'll also update Chapters 4 through 8 over time and will republish those once done.
