    Legacy of the Dawn

    My new story is out and man it was much harder to accomplish than I thought. It delves into a different genre than I'm accustomed to so it was slow going looking at stuff and trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. But in the end I think it was good to get out of my comfort zone. It forced me to work on prose and I feel much more confident going forward now. Even as I write this I'm already

    What I've been up to

    It's been a while since I posted anything but I had a few reasons as to why. One of them being that I do not like talking or hinting about a project unless the product is about more than halfway complete. The long and short of it is that I was workshopping a different story that I've been planning for a while. That and since I was off school, I was catching up on books, videogames, shows and the

    Chapter 5 is out!

    I apologize, but like I mentioned in my last blog post, IRL stuff was getting really hectic. I hope everyone enjoys the chapter though after such a long wait!

    I'm back!

    It's certainly been a while since the last update. I apologize for the wait but IRL matters required my full attention. Balancing college and work has been manageable so far until these last few months. School had been ramping up with finals but now that the semester is over I can finally take a moment to breathe.

    Renovation Update

    The new chapter is out! After that small break, and writing my other fic, it feels good to come back to these characters.

Keeping you guys posted · 12:06am Mar 23rd, 2021

Since the release of chapter 3 of Renovation of the Heart took so long I wanted to keep ya'll posted on what's going on so you don't think I just abandoned the fic. Obviously the jump between chapter 2 to chapter 3 was huge in word count, but like I already stated before, I felt that it needed to be that length. I know not everyone likes to read huge chapters like that but to me it was the right call. The thing is, when I started writing chapter 4 I just wasn't feeling it like I was before, and it felt like a struggle. So while chapter 4 is on the way, I've been working on a separate fic to practice other stuff I feel I need to touch up on-- two in fact.

The first is just a one shot. Honestly, reading over the stuff from chapter 2 I felt that what clop I had written in Renovation was just okay and was basically passable at best. It had context for why that was, but it was drab and unfulfilling on purpose. I didn't want that to be the case for any future updates that happen so the one I'm currently writing and almost finished with is a clopfic featuring everyone's favorite griffon, Gilda. It's already at the 10,000 word mark and will be out soon. The other fic will be another series entirely and will be my next project after I finish up Renovation. While that one is quite a ways off I hope you all enjoy it, despite the change in genres, when it does eventually get released. Power metal is one hell of a good stimulator for the imagination.

So that's basically what's been going on and I hope I didn't disappoint anyone by the lack of new chapters for Renovation.

Love your chapters

Glad you enjoy it!

The first 2 chapters were good and so was the third. I didn't mind the delay and I enjoyed the entirety of the long third chapter. Fully onboard with what you're doing.

Thanks! Clop was especially hard to write without it becoming repetitive. I feel the need to practice my writing more so this one shot is a perfect place for me to do so. I want to try to stay away from larger 10K chapters, but if they end up that long, I'll probably give a heads up before hand so everyone has an idea of what's taking so long for an update.
