I’m glad you’re enjoying The Way of Edan so far, Chance! The relationship between memories and identity is something I think about a lot too. Very cool to hear about the role that D&D played in your love for stories. The same is true of me, though I played back in the mid-eighties. Also, it sounds like we’re neighbors as I live in northern New Jersey. All the best for your writing and reading!
@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy oh no way! This whole time I had no idea. I grew up between Princeton and Rutgers-the ever elusive central Jersey. Yes DnD really enthralled me with the amount of stories it could tell. And as I said in my comment yesterday, I’m happy I got so pulled into the world you created. The lines discussing perspective and story have allll landed for me so far. I’m excited to read on
Excellent update video. Really excited to follow your journey man, it's very clear how much love writing and reading. Excited to read the book whenever you finish it :)
@@supaflymo of course! Once I have advanced reader copy’s I’m gonna be sending out digital ones to people likely through here or my patreon followers who want one! Either way stay tuned and you can get your hands on one when it’s in its final form!
Awesome stuff, Chance! Good to hear you're enjoying The Way of Edan & The Failures! I'm looking forward to reading both of them. And I'm glad the beta reader feedback is working for you. It really is valuable if you can find the right people to review your work.
Love the new set-up, starting to look fancy over here! ;) Couldn't agree more on The Way of Edan, it starts out so strong and Philip really knows how to hit you with some deep lines! Very exciting idea about the Patreon, I love the community aspect and that seems to be a great avenue to build more connections. My week was nothing special, I have been rewatching all the Harry Potter movies because I needed some escape and comfort and that was just so much fun. Also reread one of my favourite books of this year, Hell For Hire by Rachel Aaron, because the sequel is coming out soon and I am soooo excited for that! Happy reading :)))
@@esmayrosalyne I love getting into a story when the sequels are about to release 😬 Glad to hear the rewatch is going well! I think I’m due for a lotr rewatch myself-potentially Star Wars and Harry Potter to follow. So far, Edan has really hit with deep lines in not that many pages which is wild! And don’t worry, I’ll never get too fancy. There’s just no way 🙃.
@@Chance.Dillon Well... sounds like you should get onto Hell For Hire then! Though, the finale to the trilogy should probably come out in a few months as well so that would be even better timing ;)) Hope you enjoy your rewatch if you get to it, I need to get onto LotR myself as well hahah
You are indeed in the Golden Age arc, basically the story starts with the Black Swordsman Arc until you rewind in time and go through Guts' backstory at which point we start Golden Age. So glad you reached the Campfire of Dreams chapter, that's such an iconic moment for Guts and the story as a whole Stoked to hear your excitement here too about the D&D game, I'm so excited to get that rolling! Funny enough I'm a trainer also, although I do everything online these days rather than in-person PT Patreon sounds awesome, you already know I'll be signed up day 1 man. And as always fantastic work on your writing! Very inspiring for me to free up some time to work on my own project
@@NerdLevelRising glad to ground myself in Berserk more now😂😂 I’d feel lost discussing it with the veterans, but it’s nice to go through it where I’m at having seen the black swordsman stuff they gave early on. dnd just opens up the aspects of story for me. Something about it. You and Spaced out wizard both!! That’s wild. It seems training and reading fantasy/ sci-fi are going hand in hand these days! Thats SO darn wild.
It’s fun to play around with backgrounds! I’m a photographer (I shoot on 35mm film) and have done lots of display work! If you want suggestions on your background, let me know- always happy to help fellow book lovers! If you’re interested in murder mystery stories, The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley has been very good so far! It takes place in the Scottish Highlands and I’ve really enjoyed it! It’s very Agatha Christie- esque but set in modern times. I don’t play DND but it’s fun to listen to people play. I’m too shy for it but it’s always a treat to hear all of the fun stories that people come up with on the fly!
@@luckylassophoto the murder mystery genre is one I haven’t dove into just yet. I have an Agatha Christie book on my TBR but my priority is geared toward other forms of fiction. That said-I want to read wide (I have some poetry I’m getting into this week) so I’m always open to it. Some things just take more time for me to get to. I’m glad you’re into hunting party! I’d love to hear more what it’s about. As far as the background, I will be changing it up for next week. As of now we don’t have a ton of space to work right now-but feel free to let me know what things I should focus on
Great video! I think the Patreon idea is really interesting and I would love to read your short stories! Personally, I'm currently reading Assassin's Apprentice:) I'm not too far in the book, but enough to say that i absolutely love Robin Hobb's writing! It's a bit out of my comfort zone because i'm only starting my fantasy journey, but so far, it's going well!
@@mau215 I wish I started mine with her! Although I don’t regret choosing Tad Williams. I just finished Hobb last month for the first time and I’m going to be reading Royal Assassin to follow it up since it was so addicting. The plan is to get to it by the end of the month! Her writing is absolutely beautiful and addicting.
Great video brother! Loving your stuff, you are such a genuine dude. Keep making fun authentic content like you are and talking about books like a boss!
@Chance.Dillon Thanks man! I appreciate that so much! You me and Jake from NerdLevelRising should do a book club and read and discuss something down the road!
Dude! No way! I’m also a Personal Trainer 😅 Love to hear Way of Edan starts strong, I need to get on to that and back to Berserk. I lived the part of Berserk you’re at.
Also love the Patreon short story idea, I’ve had a similar idea floating around in my head. I would also be interested in an arc when it comes time for that.
@@SpacedOutWizard the spaced out wizard came to hang out! Heck ya. That’s actually sick you’re also a trainer. I had no idea this whole time. I’m excited to continue my journey through berserk and to see how Edan evolves throughout my read
Chance, there is probably no way you’ll see this but I would LOVE, if I could read an early copy. I will say, I have no cool resume to show you of my ability to judge good literature, but I love reading! I don’t even want money, I just want a beautiful story and that’s what it sounds like you have.
@@Staticshock65 of course! Hang around for when the time comes. It’ll likely come in the spring time. Think April/may. I’m going to be happy to send out advanced copies for people to get their hands on the story so we can all chat about it! Thanks for stopping by and chiming in at all. I love hearing peoples passions
@@Chance.Dillon NO WAYYYY. Thank you for responding, I’m just a grad student who loves books, so this is so cool to have one of my favorite book tubers reply. I recently subscribed and have binged all your videos! Thanks for keeping me updated on being able to read a early copy of the book!
@@Staticshock65 wow thanks so much for coming along! That’s high praise. Yes I’m very excited to share the story with everyone! E-arcs will be coming and I’ll be stoked to share em
@@Shankerinocappuccino I’ll probably keep trying to make sure I have the space for you guys to get involved more. Once my first short story is ready to publish, I’ll be sure to let you guys know so you can see it! January most liekly
OMG 😅you took all my advices😂 nobody did that before...the ring light is a bit strong tho. There are two kinds of lighting in short videos this kind there should be a table with several background lights most yellow here but I know Americans like neon more. Mic is good tho. Jesus you are hot in cover picture
Actually the cover light is better close to Rembrandt method...mostly in movies 😂 lol there face light if you don’t have more tools. A proper paper or plastic big might help
@@radudumanovschi3387 it’s become a bit of a bit on the tubes. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying Dr. (in an objective sense). But I could be sorely mistaken
@@Chance.Dillon That title that you put in front of his name places him somewhere above the rest of bootube creators or he is not above, he is only a fellow content creator.
Hey, I'd be so grateful if you could add Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon series to your reading list! It would be awesome if you could share your thoughts on the books in a video and let us know which one is your favorite. Thanks a bunch! Best Wishes and Support from INDIA.
@@i_shubhamrai I’ve been meaning to put the da Vinci code and angels and demons on my TBR for a while! I may have to do a month off fantasy at some point in the next 6 months-da Vinci code and pillars of the earth will likely be in that month along with some mystery books I need to start. I wanna ask your favorite of that series but I feel it may ruin the surprise
@@Chance.Dillon That's awesome to hear! I've read 4 out of the 5 books in the series, and I have to say, the first one is my favorite. Each book has its own unique elements that I love, but I don't want to spoil anything. The antagonist in the 3rd book is so well-written, and the moral and ethical dilemma in the 4th book really got to me. And of course, the Da Vinci Code has its own special charm. So, there you have it! However, I'm planning to switch to the fantasy genre for now and put "The Origins" on the back of the shelf. I'm excited to dive into the world of wizardry and witchcraft created by JK Rowling! 😂
@@i_shubhamrai ahhh! Good choice. I haven’t touched them since I was much younger. But I’ve been considering getting back to that world. Thanks for your thoughts on the series! Glad to have expectations going in
@@Chance.Dillon Pleasure man. I've also been getting into some Agatha Christie books like "Endless Night" and "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd," etc, and also read "The Devotion of Suspect X" by Keigo Higashino. However, my TBR for next month is the Song Of Ice and Fire series. I recently finished the HBO show and am super excited to delve into the books that kick-started the entire thing.
@@i_shubhamrai ahhhhh you’ll have to let me know when you get to the clash of kings-I am somewhere in the middle of that but put it down since other things just stumped it in priority. But both that and words of radiance I think I need to start and finish before the end of the year
