Audiobook
The voicework is done by Natalie Naudus, the same amazing narrator as Volume 1!
In less exciting news, I'm considering a change in scheduling in the future. Many of you should be aware that the first draft of the Destiny works is written in quest format, as a sort of choose your own adventure story. In that format the quest is comprised of turns, which typically last three to six months. To prevent burn out on my end I'm considering taking a one week hiatus at the end of turns in the future.
As my patrons, would an occasional one week break like this bother you or effect your decision to continue contributing? Please let me know in the comments.

Avoiding burnout is important. I think it's okay to take time off, but the key is expectations and scheduling. Like, for me, I subscribe to a lot of Patreon, so reading their posts is an established part of my routine that brightens my day. The biggest irritation is when I'm eagerly awaiting a post and feel frustrated when that turns into disappointment. On the other hand, when there's a scheduled break, I expect it and it's totally fine. Especially week-long breaks are ideal - it's not nearly long enough to break that dopamine-fueled habit and routine, but enough to build anticipation. For example, the Author of the Wandering Inn has frequent breaks built into their schedule, and because it's expected, no one begrudges that.
