Awesome! Keep pushing, but don't push too hard. And a major Happy Birthday to you!
Major congrats, bro, both to your wife and your 50th!
Finally got the debut novel published in a physical format yesterday, but I left out an important detail. The Kindle page told me to adjust the file to the size I wanted, and I wrote the whole damn thing on 8.5x11 inches, apparently. But since everyone was sending me videos, I had to do laundry, I had to get ready for a Christmas party AND I had to constantly deal with barking dogs and what not, I told myself "screw it ". So the book is the size of standard paper.
But this might actually be a good thing, because I have a lot of elderly customers at Dunkin who want to read my novel, so this checks out. But my next book will be smaller.
My wife is on the mend now & I should be back at work tomorrow. She's had a really tough run though.
On the positive, I was surprised with a two-day visit to the Hunter Valley wine region on the way down to Sydney to see family to celebrate my 50th birthday last week. All of my Sydney & Newcastle based friends (including Ben & his wife) showed up & we had a brilliant couple of days, highlights by a spectacular lunch at the legendary Bistro Molines. Then we continued down to Sydney where we stayed for five or six days. Just got back late yesterday to prepare for a brief two-day work stint before the Xmas break.
good news
Well done, Rex! The gates to The North shall open for you when you earn that clan.

"When I earn it?". Was there anything else I had to, other than wait for Daniel to check it?
Yeah, that's what I mean, wait for his approval.
I'm comfortable that you've completed the 2nd decade Black Metal challenge Rex. Which challenges did you complete for your existing clans so that I can check those off too?
I'm ready for my fourth clan. I have officially posted full-on reviews for these three list challenges:
1. Guardians: Power Metal - The Early Days
2. Infinite: Prog Metal - The Second Decade
3. Pit: Thrash Metal - The 80's
I'm ready for my fourth clan. I've thought very long and hard about this, and came to the best decision I can. Not only has this been a genre my core has been more and more drawn to over the last couple years, but it's also the genre I feel I can do the most good on when voting on halls.
The North.
These and this: Black Metal - The 2nd Decade
OK, I've just verified that those clan challenges were successfully completed Rex. Congratulations as we all know what an enormous undertaking it is to complete four challenges. Ben will add you to The North shortly. It's not as simple as simply adding the clan to your profile as we need all of your previous The North ratings to be included in the Clan Ratings now that you'll be a part of the clan so it's a bit fiddly & requires nerd status to achieve without fucking everything up. Thankfully, I have one such nerd in the family.

No big. I know a few little things about the bureaucracy of internal tech, albeit mostly from having started a couple of Fandoms I left to rot after a couple years. And with it being that technical when most of the advanced stuff is handled for you, I can imagine it would be a bit more difficult here.
Welcome to The North Rexorcist! I believe the transition has been successful (I can see that your ratings are now counting as Clan Ratings for The North), but let me know if anything looks weird.

Weird like what?

Like a North album or cover you've rated that isn't being included in the Clan Rating section. It should be all good, but I have had to run a recalculation a couple of times in the past when site users change or add a new clan.
