    Interesting times

    It'd be nice if things went smoothly for just a few months. I don't things have been great for me for a longtime now. I'd had hope this year was my year. It is what it is. Just need to buckle down and figure it out.

    Update on Rules stuff.

    Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a nice day today. I wanted to start by saying just how sorry I am for missing my previous deadline. The last few weeks have been pretty busy for me, and I was aiming to upload chapter 8 right before I left on vacation. As you can see, that didn't happen, but I was able to finish up and get it out, albeit a week later then I intended. I want to promise

    Long time, no see...

    Hey y'all. Just writing this to reassure everyone that Rules for Bodyguards isn't dead and apologize for how long this chapter had taken. Inspiration has been scarce these last months, and I've been pretty unhappy with what I've written till recently. As it stands right now I've got a little over 3000 words in the newest chapter, mostly written in the past week. Seeing how I try very hard not to

    ...Huh

    So I was hanging out in a discord today with a couple of friends (namely Eltirions, The Great Scribbly One, and Big Saij) talking about our stories and just chilling.

Chapter 3 · 1:07pm Jul 5th, 2020

Hey everyone, Chapter 3 is finally up!

Whew, this was a struggle to write, but it feels great now that its done. As I said in previous blog posts, this was my sixth attempt at this chapter, and I could feel it. It was extremely frustrating, writing for hours every week, only to get thousands of words in and decide to scrap most of it and start over. Well, start most of it over. I kept most of the opening section with some edits to help it flow better from the first draft. This was definitely the part that was the most fun for me to write, I've never written anything even close to a horror story before, and this was kind of my first foray into that genre. Maybe I'll do something similar as a one-shot one day.

I did feel it kind of cuts off suddenly, but there are two reasons for this. One, it was the only natural break point in the story for a long time to come, and 2. I had to get something out, lest I circle this one chapter forever. At some point, the chapter has to come out, and I was mostly happy with what I had, so I ended it there. Now I have to finish Chapter 3.5, which should be out in a few days at the most, then I start work on chapter 4. I want to thank everyone for reading, and I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter as I enjoyed writing it!

Have a wonderful day.
