Heh. See what I did there? Eh? Eh?
Heh. See what I did there? Eh? Eh?
There comes a time in a story's life when it's time to stop and say "The End", and I think for Man Cannot Live On Coffee Alone, I'm there.
Spoilers ahead, obviously, for Man Cannot Live On Coffee Alone. And before you think it: no, I'm not quitting or leaving, lol
Hey, guys!
So I'm sitting here right now on my lunch break writing this up (I apologize for lack of formatting) because I dont want to forget (again) to keep you guys in the loop on things, so here goes.
If you're reading this, its probably because you follow my fic Into the Dark, or you consider me cool enough to just read my blogs, in which case you're a cool cat yourself. Anyway, I've finished writing the story.

16,900 words. That is almost 17,000. Every single one of them all about eating out technicolor pony ass.
If you told me three weeks ago that I would write 17,000 words about tonguing the anuses of everyone's favorite magical ponies I would have thought you were crazy, but here we are.
Back in February I started this story with the intention of posting at least twice a month. Almost immediately a love of writing took hold and I pushed myself to write more frequently and I began posting weekly. For the most part that held, with only a couple small hiatuses in between when some real life stuff that I had to take care of came up. In a few months I did what I never really saw myself doing, and that's releasing a story with regular updates and finishing it.
And that’s a wrap folks. The Epilogue is posted, making Danganronpa: In Harmony’s Wake officially complete.
I said it in the author’s notes and I’ll say it again here. Thank you, all of you, so much for following along with me on this journey. I cannot overstate enough how important being able to finish a story like this was for me. It’s a remarkable feat. It’s something I can look back to for years and say “Yeah, I did that.”
It's not the end, of course, just the end of this story. I wish I'd kept some thoughts on this story as I wrote it, like thoughts on what I was thinking at the time, or what I wanted to accomplish with this or that like my editor, Minds Eye, did for his story To Serve the Hive. Alas, I did not.
But, the story is finished, so the first thing I'll say is: Do you have any questions about the story and what anything of it means?
The final chapter includes the (temporary?) cover art for Space Horse.
I finished up Lab Horse on my old (but good) laptop in the car, which I'm still in as of now, connected to the internet using my phone as a mobile hotspot.
Amazingly, the middle of nowhere has internet.
Today marks the end of Mistletrapped; I have uploaded and released the final chapter and marked the story as complete.
For those of you who have been holding off on reading these last few chapters (or been waiting to read the whole thing when it was done), now's your chance!
Hello all my readers! The epilogue to Swimming Lessons is now out and ready to read. It's not much, but hey, it's an epilogue. XD
So go on and check it out!
I wrapped up the last chapter almost 2 weeks ago. However, editing is really, really annoying work, plus my editors are suuuuper busy with real life, so I still won't be able to dump the chapters on you weekly.
I'm sorry, I wish I could. Still, be assured, Void Trials will be completed, it will not join the myriads of stories that were given up on.
PS: Next chapter goes up tomorrow. It's fairly short for my standards. after that we'll be going into the finale though
Yes, it's true! I have finally finished that Dark Twilight story I published over a year ago! Go read it and bask in the miracle that is 'Corejo actually finishing a story!'
Now, I've got my sights set on Flock Together and that Dark Luna fic i had mentioned a few times before, Into the Dark. Stay tuned!
Hi everyone. I updated A Tale of Two Suns, which you may notice is now "Book 1". It didn't show up on the front page like I thought it would. I guess that's because I simply re-published chapter 15.
But, yes, I turned the thing into "Book 1". It was the best solution I could think of. Now, if you look at the story, you will notice some changes beyond chapter 15. These are:
1. The final scene of chapter 11 has been removed and replaced with a new one.
O deplorable Fate! How cruel that My Harshwhinnial received its first review — and the most glowing review anyone could have ever asked for, no less — only after its author was no longer here to appreciate it.
As a fellow author, you know that there are many things that can prevent you from starting a new project, let alone completing it. There are many ways to organize your thoughts and to prepare to write. Often it's a balance between procrastination and preparedness. What I am sharing today is what works for me, and it's a simple suggestion: Know how the story ends.
Yep. That's it.
As my article on knowing the ending demonstrated, there are many tools you can use to help you complete a story of any length. At issue in using all such tools is building confidence while moderating procrastination. Almost all authors, especially unpublished and poorly published ones, have a crippling fear of failure1. Going from idea, to character generation, to plot generation, to writing, to
It took me over a year to do it, but The Power Within is finally complete! A huge weight has dropped off of my shoulders and I feel like I can finally breathe again.
Hello everyone! Just a quick blog post to let you know that my Pokémon story Intelligence Factor just completed. It's not my usual type of story, and the quality isn't as high as my grand adventures. But I'm still glad I wrote it and have come to a conclusion. So join me and Dr. Julian Bashir (from Star Trek) as he investigates the claims of pokémon sapience on the planet of pokérin and comes to some wild conclusions.
