Take a minute to be kind to someone today, even if that someone is you. We all need a little more kindness, giving and receiving.

    New chapter for A Balance of Fire and Light dropping ...

    A few minutes ago actually.
    So yeah, if you haven't already why not check out my newest chapter in A Balance of Fire and Light: Ghosts of the Present.
    Anyway, in the next chapter Everyone Sleeps!
    Seriously? You're passing that off as a teaser?
    Yeah, it doesn't spoil anything and is technically correct. The best kind of correct!

    Upcoming chapters

    I'm still going to endeavor to put out a chapter a month, but unfortunately my writing has been slow lately and while I know where I'm taking the story, getting there is taking even more time.
    Part of my slowness comes from not having a solid framework to build off of. When the series was running I had that framework but I don't have that with this story.

    I think this sums up my page pretty well.

    I'd like to thank Lurks-no-more for this brilliant summation which I feel is quite accurate for my writing.

    A stroke of genius, yes. Also known as an aneurysm of poetry.

    A small update this month

    This month we have A Series of Calls.
    There's more coming up.
    I swear I haven't been distracted by Elden Ring since the announcement of it's upcoming DLC.
    On an unrelated note, any tips for fighting Malenia?

Forgettable over 3000 views · 6:01am May 20th, 2020

I probably passed that a couple days ago. I continue to be surprised by how this story has done. When I first posted it I was expecting it to be a flash in the pan, maybe a few hundred views, a couple likes, probably more dislikes. But when I woke up the morning after posting to find it in the Featured box I was floored.
People started posting it in other groups, possibly promoting my story. (Didn't check at the time because, as mentioned, I was floored.)
I checked back every couple hours expecting it to be down, or that it was some kind of mistake to begin with. Heck, I even asked if other people saw it there and what it meant. I honestly couldn't believe it. I just kept telling myself that a story about someone losing their struggle against depression couldn't be that popular. That I couldn't have wrote something that good or meriting such attention.
While it's popularity did decline abruptly it still gets several views a week. It's even on Goodreads, a site with reviews of actual books. And my story made it there.
Every time I look at it, especially the analytics, I'm reminded of just how grateful I am to everyone who helped get my story where it is. I still read through all of the comments from time to time too. People sharing their thoughts and experiences. Their struggles. Some even offering help to those who may need it. (Thanks again Antiquarian)
Thank you everyone, for everything.
