Yes, I'm just as addicted as before. Mostly, I've been constructing a new base for the main game, and since we played together yesterday (yay!), I could tackle the construction of a new kitchen/bedroom hall/tower today. Even survived two Events (draugr / trolls).
It's not an architectural marvel, but I am rather proud of it.
And now I'll give Sun some much deserved attention.
@Firlefanz I haven't gotten around to it yet, I've been playing with my coop group this weekend.
I built a treehouse near a mine we were working on to spend the nights in. All three of my friends have managed to die by falling after waking up and sprinting outside too fast haha.
I did go outside - got groceries. My fitness thing no longer counts my steps, the silly, ungrateful thing. I just got new, beautiful armbands for it, too.
Feeling like I have to level up in Valheim, which means fighting the Swamp boss, and I do not think I'm ready. Still, hauling ever more iron does not appeal, either.
I didn't write anything for Sun today. Which is okay, because I wrote a new Epilogue for South. (It didn't have one until today.)
Now, I'll share it in my next newsletter (which will be a while), but I can already tell you that'll tie in book #2 (West Flows) a lot better.
Wish me luck - I do need better sell-through. And it seems people don't realize that the series is up to 6 books by now (out of 9 that I have planned).

Wie bist du auf den Titel deiner Geschichte gekommen und was findest du wichtig bei der Wahl eines guten Titels?
Als sich die Winds und Pillars Serie eines Nachts in meinem Kopf bildete, waren die Titel auch alle schon gleich klar.
Ich muss aber sagen, dass mir bei Sun Burns ein Lied im Kopf herumspukte: "Alarmsignal. Die Sonne brennt. Heißer als man sie kennt." (Na, wer kennt das noch?)
Ein guter Titel sollte neugierig machen. Gleichzeitig sollte er einen guten Hinweis auf das Genre geben.
Ich finde es bei Fantasy inzwischen wirklich schwierig, gute, spannende Titel zu finden. Habe mir die Titel beim SPFBOX durchgelesen und fand die meisten langweilig.
Meine Winds und Pillars haben seltsame Titel, und sie bilden auch das Genre nicht gut ab. Das tun dann hoffentlich die Serientitel (Winds of Destiny & Pillars of the Empire).
Wrote 1k words for Sun this morning. He finally talked to me, and the words just poured out.
Next is his first battle - which he'll lose badly. It'll be a hard time for him, but it'll also lead him directly to his future happy place. (Yes. He deserves that!)
Survived the office. Left ten minutes early because I could NOT STAND it any longer. (It's fine. We're allowed.) Grabbed groceries, was completely wiped when I got home. Nap and Valheim.
#WordWeavers 5/16: If your characters were in a museum, how would they act?
Sun actually gets to experience something like that in his story.
He's stunned, impressed and shocked. Learning about the true history of his country is eye-opening. It takes him quite some time to come to terms with it.
Laisal is less surprised but also very shaken. (I'll have fun writing that!)
If you like noblebright stories (ones that emphasize kindness and hope, as well as good feelings), I have a small, curated list of books from Bookfunnel that you can get for free in exchange for your email.
My South Breaks is in it, because yes, my stories are noblebright.
