wizardwordship Programming Update! November 30, 2025

The Keyboard Calls

Ahoy, mateys!

It is I, wizardwordship, checking in after a slightly extended post-Tawny Man trilogy break. While I’ve been enjoying some time focusing on life responsibilities without the gnawing desire to get back to reading and reacting my way through the Realm of the Elderlings, it hasn’t been a full abandonment: I’ve popped in for small maintenance tasks- cleaning up some early posts, tidying the archive, etc. But overall, it has felt a bit like sending my blog to overnight camp: I’m touching base from time to time, but taking a break from the heavy lifting of day-to-day care.

The recharge is working, though, and lately the call to return to my keyboard has been intensifying. I also completed a few reading side quests (more below) during my time away, but now I’ve found myself with nothing queued up, and the Rain Wild Chronicles are beckoning.

Yesterday, I noticed that my last Tawny Man post was published on October 29- almost exactly one month ago. I didn’t set out with a specific hiatus length in mind, trusting my body would tell me when it was time to pick the quest back up. And apparently, one month was the time I needed. So here I am – November 29 – back at my laptop and ready to quip, cry, and break down dragon mating rituals.

No Blog November is no more!

A Side Quest Commences…

Hello everyone!

An exciting update on my journey through realms: I will be taking a quick detour from my mission in the Realm of the Elderlings to embark on a side quest through…

James Islington’s The Will of the Many!

Fear not! This will be the briefest of detours from my main mission. Yes, my whole heart still belongs to Fitz, and I cannot wait to jump into Golden Fool soon.

But I have found that blogging through a story takes a lot more time than my previous blistering pace through a series. I don’t want to burn out or get stuck in a rut. And where we left things at the end of Fool’s Errand feels like an easy place to take a quick pause, recover a bit after you know what, and return to the Six Duchies very soon, refreshed and ready to rip.

I’m also curious to see how it feels to blog a different series and get in from the very beginning. The sequel to The Will of the Many is due out later this year, so it seemed like the perfect time to jump in.

I’m aiming to complete this side quest quickly; I have a solo adventure coming up in a few weeks, and I plan to be blissfully reunited with Fitz for that trip- so your girl is on a deadline!

Hope you enjoy this little departure, and if not, I will see you soon in Buckkeep!
