    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

The End (and beginning of course) · 6:39am Jul 13th, 2019

Back in February I started this story with the intention of posting at least twice a month. Almost immediately a love of writing took hold and I pushed myself to write more frequently and I began posting weekly. For the most part that held, with only a couple small hiatuses in between when some real life stuff that I had to take care of came up. In a few months I did what I never really saw myself doing, and that's releasing a story with regular updates and finishing it.

Not long after I started working on this I met some other great writers and really learned how great and supportive this community could be. I never could have imagined doing so much in such a short amount of time, but here I am at the end. While the story's "complete" I still want to go back in and rework some things that I feel need addressing and that's going to be a fairly long process. In the more immediate future however, I do have a crossover/sequel project that will be coming out soon -- Pandemic: Desert Getaway. The story's more or less complete and I'll be posting that very soon, with updates every other day.

I've said this a lot over the last few days, but I really can't say it enough. Thanks so much to everyone who's offered advice, comments, feedback, help, etc. over the course of this project, it seriously means so much to me and this has been such an amazing and enjoyable experience!
