    I'm (still) not quite dead...

    I'm sorry, I am so very sorry for the lack of updates on, well, anything. A few of you have probably noticed that I've still been putting in the occasional appearance or comment, but as for chapter updates...yeah I've barely written anything for months for various reasons - work sucks, arranging a couple vacations, a falling out in my D&D group of 14 years, and just a sort of malaise that

    When you're writing a chapter...

    And listening to music to keep yourself in the mood, and then you hear a song that has you suddenly realize that you've been writing the entire chapter wrong and should have instead been basing it around the song - not necessarily using the song directly (especially since that would be against site rules concerning wholesale copying of lyrics), but certainly drawing on it for inspiration.

    The Good News and the Bad News

    The good news is that I got a root canal on Monday. No more pain in teeth. Yay!

    The bad news is that I was 3/4ths of the way through the next chapter of Midnight Castle (~5000 words) and realized that I was writing it totally wrong. I need to go back to practically the start and change up a lot, though I'm salvaging lines and paragraphs wherever I can.

A progress report · 2:40pm Apr 15th, 2014

Slowly but surely my old writing speed seems to be coming back to me. Since Sunday...

- For my non-Lunaverse fans, I'm ~2,500 words into the next chapter of "Daleks Have No Concept of Friendship!" I generally like to have at least 4,000 words in my little side-stories before publishing a chapter. You can expect it some time this week, maybe next at the latest. The story was never dead, its just a low priority for me.

- For my Lunaverse fans, I'm ~5,000 words into chapter 1 of Treasure Hunt, a story staring Dinky and Pipsqueak. This story is not expected to be very long chapter-wise, probably about 6 or 7 at most. Expect this up sometime this week as well. Basically at this point I just have to make a good cover image. I have some ideas in that vein.

- Lastly, the next chapter of Return of Tambelon is about 1,000 words done. This one's gonna be long and, hopefully, epic. I am re-reading my Conan stories to get me in the groove, specifically The Hour of the Dragon and Red Nails. This one is probably gonna take a few weeks to hammer out. Expect its epilogues to go up at the same time as well.

See you all real soon!

That reminds me, I still need to read DHNCoF. I keep putting it off because whenever I'm reading (especially if starting something new) I tend to feel guilty for not using that time to write. Which is actually a rather silly guilt to feel as reading is largely what most inspires me to write and so is something I should really do more of. :applejackunsure:

Appreciate the update! Hope it all goes well.

Thanks for the update. :twilightsheepish:

I like the seeing more of Dinky, and with her and Pipsqueak and a title like Treasure Hunt I am reminded of something like The Goonies.
