Though I am so, so ready to call it a year and look ahead to 2026 (deaths in the family and a huge personal fuck up will do that,) we've gotta end this year on a high note. I do wish that was more of a turn of phrase than a reality, but that's where we are with things, so.

With the upcoming mortgage payment, travel and books to buy for Further Confusion, and plenty of debt to pay down...

...we've got one last flash sale to bring things home and kick off 2026 on the right foot.

This is going to be a simple one, but it's going to be big. We've got a lot of funds to raise, so the more you purchase today, the more you'll save!

-Take $20 off any order of at least 5k words. You can buy any combination of words (standard, rush, one week, one day) to reach the total required for your discount.

-Take $40 off any order of at least 10k words. Again, you can get any combination of levels to make it happen.

-Take $60 off any order of at least 15k words.

-Take $80 off any order of at least 20k words.

-Take $100 off any order of at least 25k words.

I don't expect to see orders any larger than 25k, so that's where we're gonna cap the discount, but if you were looking for a huge story (or a bunch of stories) to end the year on, this sale has your back! If you were looking for a last-minute gift idea for the story lover in your life, this sale is for you!

This sale is open until midnight on December 30th, when we close up shop for the business year...or until we raise $2500 in funds. Whichever comes first. Hopefully the latter.

We're in a tighter spot than we expected after a rough Black Friday and MFF weekend, so this one just became the biggest sale of the year.

Let's get this right and end 2025 with success. Thank you all so, so much for everything that you've all done for me this year, and for your patience with my adjustments in the face of both tragedy, and the daily rigors of having a career while being a stay-at-home dad.
