Mal

Glad to hear you’re out of the hospital and on the mend. Take good care of yourself and be safe. 

I just got released from hospital today after 5.5 long grueling days. The bad news is I’m not fully recovered. I still have a bit of pneumonia in my lungs and am a little run down. The good news is that my doctors felt confidant to take me all the way off O2. Meaning that as long as I’m taking it easy my O2 lung saturation is sufficient to keep me going! Now I just need to rest and recover a bit more, build my strength back up and everything should work out. I do feel better, so that is good. (Much better than I felt going into hospital), I’m hoping now with  couple more weeks to recover I can get back to relative normality in my life… I’ll continue to keep you guys posted but I want to thank everyone here again who was pulling for me while I’ve been sick. It really does mean the world to me!

I’m so glad to hear you’re on the mend! This is a freaking scary illness, and you do need to take it easy for a bit. But being home is the best medicine!

Sorry about that, Mal. When you described your symptoms, I kind of figured. Hope you continue to be on the mend.

Thank you, everyone. You all are my AFF family, and I truly appreciate knowing you’re all here.  
 

Really hoping you’re better soon big guy.

Just to fill you guys in. I tested positive for COVID-19. I am feeling a little better, so I hope to just slowly trend upwards during my next 10 days in quarantine but who can say… Thank you all for all the support. I’ll try to keep you guys in the loop as my symptoms get better and hopefully not worse…
Till next time,
-Mal

I’m sorry to hear the news, Mal. I will hope for a speedy recovery and that you will only feel better from now.

I’m sorry you’ve fallen victim to COVID-19, but I’m hoping for a very speedy recovery!

I hope you feel better soon. Those tests can best be described as my own mother put it.
Nasal rape. I thought she was joking but no she was horrifyingly on point.

It sounds like whether you got Covid or some other bug it still feels like shit to go through so I hope ya getting better soon either way. 
 

Thank you guys for all the support. Frankly, I’m very worried. I feel terrible, my whole body hurts all over and I keep getting the chills… Not sure when was the last time I felt this bad. I really appreciate the kind words, and the virtual hugs. I could use some more I’ll be sure to update you guys when I get the results in a few days.

I’m crossing everything for you, Mal!  *offers socially distanced hugs*
 

I hope you’re fine, Mal. I got tested myself a month ago or so, and it felt like that test pin was trying to invade my childhood memories.

I hope yer ok. Get well soon!

If you are interested you can check https://www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/sci-fi-fantasy/statistical-analysis-wheel-time/ for some detailed statistical analysis of Wheel of Time. The only fault in the analysis would IMHO be the incorrect comparison with the Malazan books. Just comparing the main Malazan books without Esslemonts spinoff that is needed to get the full story is a bit unfair if you hunting for the longest fantasy series.

Average word count for an SFF novel is 100-115 k, so you’ve written a trilogy.

Holy crap! Is that true? I always figured I had a long way to go, word count wise, to even come close to a Robert Jordan length novel. You just blew my freaking mind, sir!

375000 words is longer than most of Wheel of Times books so you have written far more than an entire novel.
