    Back From the Dead

    A rather rough semester combined with a general lack of inspiration has bogged down all my progress to a virtual halt. However, I have managed to finish enough of HeartBeat to constitute the bare minimum of a chapter. As always, I'd appreciate anyone who could spare a bit of time to look over the chapter and let me know just how badly I screwed up. To any all willing to help edit:

    In Need of a Personal Trainer

    No, not a literal personal trainer, though I am rather doughy... Okay, in addition to an actual personal trainer, I find myself in need of someone that can help push me to write. Here's the thing, I have no real barriers to getting words down. I have plenty of inspiration and, sometimes, free time with which to write. But I just don't have the motivation. My drive to write is often

    All Hands on Deck!

    Despite some very sound advice, I still can't help but feel as though I should be putting out more. While I do have some publishable material I've been sitting on, I don't have any pre-readers, contributors, editors, etc. I'm also wanting to do a proper cover-art (for once). While I'd hoped (and still do) to find someone willing to do it pro-bono, I do suppose all my recent overtime may

    Update (Again)

    Due to a serious lack of motivation, I squandered my three day weekend last weekend, and today's my only day off. Unfortunately, averaging over 50 hours a week really cuts into not only story writing time, but also allows projects around the house to pile up. I'm going to try to get a bit done on Dragon Emissary today, but I don't have any illusions that there might be a chapter published this

    Three Day Weekend

    I have a rare reprieve from my relentless work schedule. A three day weekend. I plan on making the most of it. Now, today was day one, though I didn't squander it. I just finished the latest chapter of HeartBeat. Just need to edit it and get it posted. I'm hoping to at least get the next chapter of Dragon Emissary finished before I return to work, too. Two chapters if I'm lucky. (I'm never

Update (Again) · 5:56pm Jun 5th, 2016

Due to a serious lack of motivation, I squandered my three day weekend last weekend, and today's my only day off. Unfortunately, averaging over 50 hours a week really cuts into not only story writing time, but also allows projects around the house to pile up. I'm going to try to get a bit done on Dragon Emissary today, but I don't have any illusions that there might be a chapter published this week (Sorry!).

I'm sure you're tired of seeing my nonsense in your feed, so I'm moving my progress updates to my profile. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep it up-to-date on the progress on my various projects.

I know I've said this before, but try not to beat yourself up about writing. I've been meaning to finish a story for a few weeks now and I've written maybe 100 words. Write when you can and when you want to.

I can't help it. I'm always feeling like I need to be doing more, even with me having less and less free time to get anything done.

4000635 Then allow me to be the voice that rebels against your inner voice telling you you need to write more.

You don't. You owe nobody on this site anything. We all owe you for the content you've already added, so you're already ahead. Write when you feel like writing, if you're busy/tired/lazy/unmotivated/writersblocked it's no problem.
