I feel like for this announcement I should be climbing up on a mountain outcropping and shouting “BEHOLD!”
Hello all! My apologies for this post coming in the evening, and being only one of two posts this week, though the other was a pretty significant one. I’ve just been quite busy.
How busy? I have been up writing past 1 AM more than once this week, and hit 2 AM at the latest. So I’ve been burning the midnight oil.
Whoa.
So I just counted, and Monday's Being a Better Writer post? The one about writing warfare?
That was my 100th Being a Better Writer post. As in one, zero, zero.
I have good news. As you know I have a lot more chapters already written off site, then what are posted here. The good news is I will completely finished writing this story by next week. So no more changes to the line up of chapters. It will stay at 25 chapters. Adding prologue, epilogue and bonus chapter, it will be 28.
I have a smidge of good news to report. I have begun work on putting together my first official story for this site. It's nothing fancy or mind-blowing, just a comedy story with Pinkie Pie, but the first chapter is more-or-less complete and the second chapter is (hopefully) to be finished soon as well.
But hey, I think it's still worth celebrating. After only three years I'm finally around to posting actual story stuff and not just reviews. XD
So, I am off hiatus, and ready to get back to work with the few remaining days of my Junior year in high school.
Plus, my sister graduated from College yesterday, which was an adventure all its own.
And I should have multiple updates out today, for Tales of the Ghosts, Halo: Rising Solace, and an unpublished story yet to be uploaded. I'm in a good mood, and I'm ready to write like I'm running out of time and I need it to survive.
So, the next chapter is done! Only thing left, is to run it through a pre-reader or two, do the last edit and add finishing touches. It's practically done! And while I'm at it, I might be able to edit last chapter as well. Don't forget to re-visit the last chapter if you missed out on me re-writing it.
Readers! The time is upon us! Being a Better Writer‘s Topic List #14 is complete!
By which I mean that I’ve exhausted it. Every topic on the list has been written about over the last few months of Being a Better Writer posts. The list is now empty. There is no content left to write upon.
Which means it’s time to open up Topic List #15 and start anew. Which means, of course, a Topic Call!
Hello, I just wanted to inform everyone that I am working on the next few chapters of Princess Exchange Program, I'm going to try to put them all up near the same time, I wasn't able to post anything for a while because my laptop decided to die, I now have a replacement and am able to do more now than just 2 hours a day at my local library.
You know, it's funny, but I always find that it takes me a few lines worth of errors to readjust to using my big, awesome keyboard again. Just like it takes me a little while to adjust to using someone's laptop keyboard when I'm traveling and going to make a post. The fingers go to the expected locations, and ... Whoops! See? Well, you can't, because I fixed it, but just there, with the "whoops," I did it again.
Yes, I used three exclamation marks there! I earned those!
Because the first draft of Jungle is DONE! After a writing day of 5,236 words. Bringing the final wordcount for the first draft too ...
457,931 words.
Yes, you're reading that number correctly. 458k. 2.1 MILLION characters.
Full post (including stuff for Patreon Supporters and Alpha/Beta Readers) here!
It’s here! It’s finally here! Sands and storms, Shadow of an Empire has arrived!
For those of you have have been following the EU's controversial Article 13 battle, let me tell you that we all may heave a sigh of relief. It's over. The copyright restrictions are being rehauled and reconsidered, and thank whatever higher powers or ethereal concepts you believe in that it did. (Also thanks to Julia Reda, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Jimmy Wales, and others who protested this bill.)
After heading to the hospital and getting a doctors opinion. I have good news and bad news. And I’ll start with the good cause it’ll lead up to the bad.
Good:
Good news. It’s not Covid, a heart attack, or a stroke. Or anything that can kill me.
Bad:
I have quite a few, but I'll start with this one.
Well...
Good news - Jinxy, Fiance and I have signed a lease for a really sweet apartment!
Bad News - Work is getting even more stressful because Jinxy's coworker dun-effed-up and will be removed from site, which means that I'm the one Jinxy wants to have take those shifts....... STARTING TODAY.
Did I mention we're moving on Tuesday and there's been next to NOTHING done to prep for it?
This is Witchy. This is Witchy about to die from all the stress/anxiety.
Here it is, readers! The official cover for Shadow of an Empire, releasing June 1st!
So, hey, everypony! It’s been a while, again, I know, but I’m here to let you all know I’m not dead!
Hello readers! I’m back! Two posts in two days is cutting it a little close, but … We’ve got special circumstances here.
