    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

June Updates · 2:57pm Jun 9th, 2020

We’re in June already and time just feels like it’s flying by at an unbelievable speed. So let’s get into the updates for this month:

New Horizons - I should have another chapter out for this one by the end of the month. I’m starting to pick up speed on it but I’ll still need to finish and edit it. After that there’ll be at least one more chapter but then likely some delay as I work on the next big arc for that story that’ll start to pull us toward the endgame.

Dreamers - We should see at least two or three updates this month hopefully, the next chapter is about half written and the others after it are roughly outlined.

Stardust - This one is a little trickier, It’s always been a sort of passion project for me and right now I’m working on fleshing out some of the existing content to better set up where I want the story to go. I don’t know if there will be a proper update this month, but there might be some revisions pushed out to existing chapters on a rolling basis.

Overall I should have a lot of content out this month. I’ve never had any kind of following, and my stories rarely see comments and seldom get activity. I’d be lying if I said it felt like I was writing for no one else except myself, and it’s been discouraging on more than one occasion. There’s been times where I felt like just stopping altogether but these characters are special to me and I want to finish telling their stories so I don’t think I’m ending anytime soon.

I’m not a notable author, nor do I expect to ever be, but if you like my stories please leave a like, maybe even a comment. Tell me what you like or dislike, it helps me a lot and keeps me encouraged and feeling less like I’m just randomly writing for no one else.
