    New Year and a Possible Fresh Start

    I'm a week late for 2018 talk, but I've been pretty busy all things considered, especially since I've been working twelve hour shifts at my job for over a month now.

    But, my personal life aside, there is a reason I wanted to make this little blog, and it relates to my most 'popular' story.

    Well then...

    I went on Derpibooru to browse, and found This. (Semi-Grimdark warning, will delete this blog if necessary.)

    The fact people like my stuff enough to do this is nothing short of mind boggling to me.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    Another year older, and none the wiser; at least I'm at a job I like.

    Also, I'm turning 28 on the 28th; that's supposedly significant or something.

    Calling for Editors

    Well, I'm not sure if the chapter I've been working on is done to my satisfaction, but I can't think of anything more to add. Feel free to suggest ideas if you feel them appropriate; other than that, reply and I'll PM you the link.

    General Update MK2

    So, a while back, I talked about how I had lost my job and everything was on hold until I found something new? Well, I found something new; starting Monday the 26th of June, I'll be employed at a new company. Possibly even making more than I was at my old job with what seems to be a better work environment as well.

    Expect me to get back to story writing soon.

Looking for Editors · 5:48am Dec 7th, 2015

Hoo-boy, been a while since you saw something from me, hasn't it?

Not going to lie, this chapter was a complete nightmare for me. I don't usually write 'Slice of Life' stuff, and it seriously shows with this draft. Still, I'm sorry anyone who still calls themselves a fan of mine was forced to wait so long since my last update for Necromantic. However, now comes the other part of the writing process.

As I'm sure most of you are aware, I don't know how to grammar. As such, I'm putting out my usual call for people who do know how this mystical, mythical practice is done to assist me in making this chapter into something legible. Please comment on this journal, or drop me a message. I'll send you the link to the G-Doc of chapter 5 privately; comments are enabled on it, so just go nuts and point out the issues as you see them.

Please and thank you,

SaintAbsol

I'm not the best of editors, but I can offer another set of eyes and my experience helping other people clean up some of their stories in the past if you want it.

I already hand out comprehensive edits to random people for free, so sign me up!

Seriously, I do this so often I'm surprised nobody's called me an obnoxious hypercritic yet.

If you liked the work I did on chapter 4, I'll gladly give this one another go.

I can edit if you'd like.

Just in case you still don't have enough editors, I'd be willing to help.

I would love to help get NecroLyra out sooner!

I've not read the story yet so that may be untrue for your style of writing, but usually Slice of Life is something where the author really needs to focus on pacing, otherwise it gets boring.

That's probably my weakest point in editing, as it's all grey stuff.

I'd love a link. Need something a bit slice of life.

I'm up for it. I helped with the last one, so I think I have a grasp on your writing style and how to help. Last time I mostly handled grammar and punctuation.

Well, like I said, I almost never write Slice of Life, so it was a struggle to get it written. I'm hoping to expand my talent pool and learn how to write it, as well as improve my writing in general, but... yeah...

I love to critique and edit work.

I'm available if you're still needing folks n_n
