EFNW 2021, Writing news, and other things. · 8:46am Jun 7th, 2021
In case you haven’t heard, it’s on for this year. Blackwater and I finished making our arrangements earlier tonight (last night? It’s after midnight for me but I haven’t slept yet...) and we’re kind of locked in. I’ll be wearing a Rose Quill shirt one of the days we’re there and perhaps some other clothing articles other days if I feel sociable. We’ll see how it goes.
In writing related news, since the last time I was here I have mostly finished the next chapter of Trials, and there is a distinct lack of spiders in this chapter, much to many’s relief. Stay tuned to the end of this blog for a sneak peak.
I also have to report that work is a thing and I am apparently silly for taking a management position as it seriously cuts into the time i have to write and play VNs with the wife. Otoboku doesn’t play itself, after all.
Who’d a thunk I’d play romantic/eroge considering the pure material I write.
Sit down, Sunset.
Ah, man!
Also just got the first proofs of the main two characters in a Light Novel I’m working on as well. If you don’t know what a light novel is, it’s essentially a short work of fiction that also contains artwork inside. I know that’s a broad term, but it’s also a broad genre. SAO, Arifureta, and Rising of the Shield Hero all started out as Light Novels, as have things like Reincarnated as a Slime and Vampire Hunter D. It’s primarily a Japanese trend to my knowledge, but there are several good oringinal English LN authors, including a friend of mine by name of Brandon Varnell. He’s on most ebook platforms and I recommend his American Kitsune series and the Catgirl Doctor series if you’re into harem comedy and Journey of a Betrayed Hero if you don’t. Seriously, check out his stuff.
I may post a preview of the story at some point as I have been pulling nothings that I used in some of my one shots on here into the story as well.
So, in short, lots of things coming along.
Also, happy Pride month 2021!
Just then, a shape dove over the edge of the cliff, it’s ivory coat slowly being covered in azure flames, landing on the Wyvern and spinning in a circle.
The mysterious being’s steps left a ring of flames dancing along the back of the giant reptile, and it was not happy. It screamed and dropped down to roll onto its back, but the flames just continued to burn.
The mystery being strode forward, and it seemed as though she were made entirely of arcane flames.
“A Kirin,” I heard Twilight breathe.
“Howdy!” A cheery voice came from the frightening face of the... Kirin?
The flames died, revealing the smiling face beneath a curly mane. “Names Autumn!”
See you at EFNW!
Glad you are doing well.
Good to see lots of authors will be there!
