Coming into the final staged now with release three weeks away. There have been a few adjustments still needed, but far less than in the last draft. This excerpt is from one of the chapters I worked on today.

This is kind of heartbreaking, but at least he's not fully lost. The article doesn't clarify who it was that originally said this, but Miller's willingness to quote them shows that he's really just considering ai's potential and not a brain-dead worshipper of it like the title suggests.

Did not expect to find any examples tbh, so even this was a shock to me.

For what is a very minor character, I sure have had a few previews that have included 'Greydeath.'

Though not the focal point of this story, the Gods and their actions have left heavy effects on the characters within Defined by Damnation, a fact even more apparent in the wake of their disappearance.

Finished editing three chapters today, this is one of the ones I'll admit required a good bit of work, but that's ultimately for the best.

It's a smaller point, but one of my favourite parts of this book has been exploring what can come after a person sees a dream rendered unreachable and why that does not need to be a bad thing.

I do, but besides the commissioned piece I have for my pfp and the book's cover art itself, they are all drawn by myself. They aren't especially good, but help me get a better sense of them.

There's something particularly disheartening about having an account quote something you did positively, and then realising said account is almost certainly a bot of some kind

A conversation draped in dread and intrigue, from Defined by Damnation's tenth chapter: Curtain Call
I hope to do a few more previews like this as release nears and will likely be putting the full first ten chapters up on the website in time.

From the second last chapter, so big spoilers again. But it felt fitting since I finished draft 1 today

I'm really quite exhilarated right now, so I won't say much else until later. I'll do a proper 'announcement' of what the book is with the cover and start sending out the newsletter, but for now I'm just very happy to be at this point.
