    The end of the line

    It's been almost a year since my last story update, and if I'm going to be honest I think I'm running out of steam for writing. I've always enjoyed writing these stories, but at the same time I feel like it's been hard to get feedback on some of them and I feel that it's impacted my motivation significantly. I've never written strictly for comments and other people's approval. But with any

    New chapter update tomorrow

    It's been almost nine months but Night Terrors should be seeing an update tomorrow morning. This is a story that I feel has been underperforming a lot throughout its run, and there's a good chance it'll be my last long story for the foreseeable future. That said, it's still one that's very special to me, and I hope people will stick around to the end of it. I've wound up altering the outline I

    April chapter updates — an update about updates

    I’ve been running into a road block while working on some of my current projects lately and thought I’d write out a little status update for where I’m at story update wise for this month. This is going to be a mixed bag in terms of update timelines, but I always like to share where I’m at with my work anyways, even if it’s the kind of content that maybe one or two people actually enjoy reading

    Odyssey Chapter I is out

    Because of how I'm working on this particular rewrite, the reworked chapters will not appear as "new" chapters and the story won't appear as "updated". So what that means is that I'm going to have to work harder with every update to get the story out there. This chapter shouldn't be unfamiliar to longtime readers, however, it will have some very subtle yet significant lore changes towards

    Relaunching "Odyssey"

    You might have noticed, I rebranded and did some tweaking to "Odyssey". The first "prologue" chapter is up, though I guess it's not technically a true prologue, but rather more of a lore-filled intro. I don't want to get people's hopes up yet, so I'm not going to commit to a full structured release schedule yet, but expect infrequent updates that are made up of the original chapters but

The end of the line · 7:37am Oct 8th, 2024

It's been almost a year since my last story update, and if I'm going to be honest I think I'm running out of steam for writing. I've always enjoyed writing these stories, but at the same time I feel like it's been hard to get feedback on some of them and I feel that it's impacted my motivation significantly. I've never written strictly for comments and other people's approval. But with any creative work, getting feedback and having the sense that your work is being seen and appreciated drives some of it. In addition my professional and personal life situations have changed significantly since I decided to try and fulfil a childhood dream of being a writer, and as a result I've had less time to work on my writing. As of right now, Night Terrors has roughly two more chapters left, and I think once I finish that I'm going to step back from writing here for the foreseeable future.

That said, I want to extend my thanks and gratitude for everyone who's commented on my work over the last handful of years. It's a small thing, I know, but I've read each and every comment I've gotten, and I really appreciate every one. I've always had the wish that readers would follow along with my stories and comment on what they've been seeing or think might happen, and while I feel like that wish hasn't been fully fulfilled the way I was hoping for over the years, all of your comments and thoughts have been very appreciated, and have meant the world to me as a writer.

To close this all off, I don't like to think of this as a permanent goodbye. But once Night Terrors is finished I'll very likely be stepping away from writing for a long time.

Who knows though, maybe someday I'll come back with some new and exciting stories?
