I'm odd. I dunno? I guess I'm here because some Empty Plots need Filler.

    Updates and Status.

    Hello, all of you,

    It's been a while since I've shown any real activity on here outside of a few comments here or there, which I doubt any of you may have seen. As far as my writing has gone, there's been next to nothing to show in terms of meaningful progress. There are reasons for that.

    Current Issues: Getting Worse

    Hello, all of you.

    For those who have been following me for any length of time, you've come to know that I have my fair share of issues. The biggest issue has been my health, and I've been relatively open about most of those problems. The second largest issue I've rarely discussed has been my occupation and dealing with the compensation due to my ongoing condition.

    Yeah, the images are a little messy, but it's a work in progress. What's actually up with Spitfire? Why would she be getting combat ready?

    Possible requests.

    I was wondering, given the new trend of art I've been taking on with A New Life In The Crystal Empire... There was a lot of art for CTTB that I was never able to get done. So, now I'm wondering, were there any pictures not created or scenes not illustrated any of you would like to see created?

An embarrassing update · 8:41am Sep 6th, 2019

So, not much of a big update. I just completed doing a big review and update of chapters 5 through 16. I went back again and made a lot of corrections to some of the grammar, spelling, and punction mistakes I made. My god was it embarrassing seeing all the mistakes I made. Much of this is in response to LucarioFan2066 pointing out some very stupid mistakes I missed when I first published those chapters.

I had only done some "soft" edits to those chapters because my major focus was one putting out new chapters having those new ones come out more polished. I have to wonder if one of the reasons there seems to be such a large dropoff of people starting to read and losing interest, or even at least half of the thumb downvotes was because of my poor editing skills at the time.

Granted, I think I've come a long way since I first started, having a better understanding writing structure and how to better review my work, it still feels bad seeing how unprofessional those chapters were presented. Part of the problem being that I seem to think faster than I can type. That often ends up causing me to skip over words, use the wrong tense, or in some cases, forget to put in the closing command behind bold or italic scripts in the dialog sections of my story. Plus, Grammarly has made vast improvements in its error detection since I first started using it.

For those of you have who have overlooked these glaring mistakes, I think you for continuing to read my story. An even bigger thank you for those who have pointed out my mistakes so that I have a more complete and readable story for the readers to follow along with.

I can only hope that my future endeavors continue to keep you entertained with far fewer annoyances of the simple mistakes I fail to catch before hitting the Publish button.

I think faster then I type too, which is a serious problem. Since half the time, when I reread my own work, I'm like "Who the fuck wrote this!?". But then I realize, "Oh, that was me......Christ almighty.....this is trash!".

Yeah. Pretty much I go over it again and it kinda hurts and I can't help but kick myself.

At least you have been writing. I got a 1000 words into my next chapter and just....stopped for what ever reason. What I have is ok, but I'm sorta stuck. I'm mixed about how I want to lead my story. Not to mention, my skill probably has diminished greatly due to the lack of writing.
