    My Compromise to Myself

    So I mentioned before that I've been very tempted to completely re-write CotE. When I first started writing it, I didn't have a complete picture or direction to take it as it was simply a story that was supposed to be episodic and silly and a way for me to experiment and improve my writing. But then I got really, really attached to these characters and I started truly investing in the story,

    Where I've Been

    A new career, 2 major moves, and a whole host of other small problems adding up basically had me push writing to the sidelines for a bit. Yet, I've still been around writing down ideas I gained and how to implement them. If he wishes to, a buddy of mine on this site can attest to the amount of ideas and words I've thrown his way for his opinions. As things begin to settle down, I'm starting to

    An Update Long Past Due

    Been a long while, eh? It's been, what? since around February or so since I last updated CotE? Either way, waaaaayyyyyy longer than I've been hoping for. So what gives? Why the low amount of updates? Well, the news isn't all that great, unfortunately. To put it simply, throughout this and last year I've been in quite a bit of pain. Now, for the most part, this pain had been dull and on and off

    Arrival Reworked and Other Updates

    Hey all! Just want you all to know that I went back and edited and changed a couple of details in the chapter Arrival. Not so groundbreaking that it requires a re-read, but may be something to peak your interest while I work on the next chapter.

Weekend Release · 3:32am Nov 29th, 2019

BLUF: New chapter highly likely to be dropping this weekend.

Sweet merciful Heavens above, I finally finished writing the next chapter! First off, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! A bit late I know but better than never. Second off, this chapter took way longer than I expected it to. I was thinking it would be around 5, maybe 7k words long at most. Nope. Try just over 15k words!

I don't know what happened! It turned from me writing the story to the characters doing their own thing and me trying to keep pace with them. One second, I think I'm wrapping up a scene, the next a character decides that they have a lot more to say or a different character decides to butt in and extend the conversation. I may be the writer, but something tells me I more or less just guide events rather than actually dictate them.

All that said, I'm going to do my usual thing of taking the next few days reading over everything, doing my best to fix scenes that need fixing and giving some polish to the rest. Still, I'd say the odds of this chapter dropping this weekend is highly likely. Only something truly unexpected happening could delay it.

Please tell me nothing unexpected is going to happen...

Do you now?

Hhmmm, you know, this could be a good time for me to switch things up a bit. Maybe put some time in fixing that other atrocious story of mine. Or attempt to start a very time consuming YouTube channel. Hell, there's a lot I can focus on outside! Like biking and... well, that's about it around here but hey biking can be fun. There's also golfing, but just no.

There is gamming anywhere you go. The stories and game play could give inspiration and ideas. But agreed, golfing, just no.
