I enjoy writing. If I think of anything clever to say I'll update this.

    2020

    It's been a very intense year for me. I've been fortunate enough to have been working this entire time and was promoted twice since March. This was the cause of the delay in this story. I've been learning what it takes to lead people at work, but also how to manage my own self care while being able to care for others.

    Completed

    I have finally concluded “The Phoenix King”. It went on longer than I ever thought it would and probably didn’t need to be so long to begin with. Although, I had a great amount of fun writing every chapter of it and felt that it had literal arcs that focused on different things to keep it fresh. Or at leas to hope it did.

    Smolder 1k

    Where to begin, because I know where I had left off. Early October I started a new job for the government, one could call it a career, but after a few weeks they felt that I was better suited for a higher position. This led me to becoming a 'Lead' within a department, which meant reading a large "SOP" (Standard Operating Procedure) and doing a lot of overtime to get ready for the position. It

    New Beginnings

    These last two weeks I had dedicated myself to getting this new job, revamping my resume and going to two interviews for the position. I am happy to say that they have offered it to me which means I am over the moon at the moment on the possibilities this affords me. Full time, 401k, health insurance, paid vacation, and on top of all that it is a government job. I feel very fortunate for this

    Smoldering It Over 3rd Anniversary and Smolder 900

    Today marks the third anniversary of Smoldering It Over being uploaded and coincidentally happens to be the same day that it has reached nine-hundred views. I feel like I simply repeat myself over and over again when I say how humbled I am to have reached this milestone, but it couldn't be more to the truth. I was excited to know that thirty-four viewers had taken a glance at it and left a

Smolder 800 · 2:06am May 8th, 2018

For the last two weeks I've been dealing with pneumonia. It has been exhausting, if not the most annoying sickness I've had to deal with in quite sometime. Having to go to work through most of it was the most trying of experiences.

This illness would happen to occur during my attempt to write the next chapter concerning the Summit, which was to be a two part chapter of the discussion on the moral implications and logical ramifications of helping Smolder by opening the portals. Needless to say, it has been very trying to write in my poor health, trying to make it as convincing an argument as it could be and not have it feel rushed.

I've edited the two chapters these last couple days, feeling that it had become too verbose, and decided to make it a stand alone chapter. A lot of rehashing of established information that just made it seem bloated and it will end up being one chapter.

Smoldering It Over has also reached 800 views. It's remarkable. I don't have anything remotely close to say that would express how appreciative I am for everyone giving it a chance.
