    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

    Unsure what to do with "Odyssey"

    So I'm going to preface this by saying that the point of this blog post is to gauge interest on whether this story should continue or not, and how that should go if I do. If you like the story and just want to see it continue then please let me know below. If you want to read into more of my thoughts on it and get an explanation for *why* it's been on hiatus for so long, then feel free to read

Current Status: Midnight revelations are always fun · 8:01am Mar 13th, 2019

Having thrown my circadian rhythms completely off (basically becoming nocturnal in the process), I've decided to spend my now open nights doing what any normal sane human might do: toiling away at the ol' keyboard, revising and writing new chapters and ideas (some of those ideas being projects I'm excited to share down the line!). In my endless pursuit of perfection I've caught (and rectified) a pretty glaring plot hole in a series of upcoming chapters, nothing that I would have missed (and certainly nothing that would have effected the overall story) mind you, but now I have time to properly flesh it out and address it so it lines up better with later events. So I guess what this all ultimately amounts to is that Daylight Saving time has actually had a positive effect on me, at least in that regard.

Into the actual status updates:
Pandemic: Departures chapters will probably continue to be released weekly, however they'll probably (and I say this very loosely knowing how often I wind up writing) drop to every other week in mid to late April, and for sure in May. I've got some important stuff coming up in May that would definitely throw a wrench in the gears of progress, however I'll most likely bring it back to weekly updates in June, if not sooner depending on certain factors. At the moment I have Departures planned to end around August, which lines up with some other bigger IRL plans that would certainly derail chapter releases, but like anything plans can, and always will change.

As for plans post Departures? Well I don't quite know yet, but I do have some ideas for both Pandemic and non Pandemic projects that I'd like to explore down the line, but that's all too far out to really get into detail with now.

Basically me right now at this very moment...
