Ahh, mommy writers, my respects to you ✊ because I not also have one but 2 toddlers running around, and it’s so hard. You try to write when they take a nap, but there’s a million other things to do around the house that can’t be left undone. But I was wo

You fuckin said it woman!!!

I can’t even imagine what having two would be like.  And I won’t have to, actually because I’m getting the wires cut next week. LOL not because of the baby, but because I’ve been in the “One and Done (if that)” camp for all my adult life.

Oh… speaking of, and I hate to do this, because I just took a week off due to illness, I’m going to have to take another two weeks after the next update.

I will need to recover from having my Fallopian tubes removed (hey… in this fucking country, with the way things are going, it’s the safest option for someone who doesn’t want anymore children). So the update schedule is thus:

February 20: The Zeus / Hera Chapter
March 6: The Next Update

I drew out a full timeline of all the events leading up the Abduction a long time ago that I’ll have to dig up at some point. It has some oddities and isn’t framed in BCE terms, but I did want to place some overlay on human history. For example, the Titanomachy is ten years long and takes place about 40K years before the events of the main story, which would put it somewhere in the Upper Paleolithic, the end of the last Ice Age.

Persephone was born the day the war ended. About two thousand years later, Athena emerges. Another two thousand years later, Ares and Hermes are born. A couple thousand years pass and Hera births Hephaestus. Then Artemis and Apollo are born around the same time.

The Eleusinian Mysteries start up right before Persephone’s first winter descent, and she is the one who essentially starts them, with Eumolpus. By the time The Good Counselor begins they are in full swing.

I hope that helps and thank you so much for the
