Call me Gryph for short, if you like. In-case the avatar, the name, and the themes of my stories didn't make it apparent; big Gryphon fan here.

    What Comes Next?

    Whew! A half-million word novel is no joke folks... Especially when it isn't even your first extremely-long-form-got-away-from-me-Gryphons-rarely-do-anything-small escapade.

    They say no plan ever fully survives first contact with the real world, but to fail to plan is to plan to fail. Plans are clay to work with as the situation evolves.

    So here is mine, currently:

    Advocate: Cutting Room Floor Achievements

    Here, in no particularly organized fashion, are all the achievements (the vast majority by Generic Friendship) which sadly didn't make it into The Advocate for story/brevity/etc reasons.

    The Advocate: Progress Update

    Just to relieve anyone who still is keeping an eye out; I am working hard on The Advocate!

    I have been trying to get away from the practice of tossing out a few chapters, vanishing for a month, then repeat. So I am presently building up a backlog.

    Just a Quick Update

    For the interested: I'm still focused on getting The Advocate completed.

    I had planned to make some progress this week, and still might depending how the weekend falls out, but it is becoming clear it won't be as much progress as I'd hoped, if any.

    State of Stories

    Yes - I am still writing daily on RO, and hoping to finish this year.

    With that out of the way; It's been a busy few months. Lots of good projects at work, and lots of family issues, medical and more positive ( a couple killer DnD sessions, among other things).

    As a result, It's been radio silence for a bit.

Happy New Year! · 11:22pm Jan 2nd, 2022

So despite my best efforts, I ended up being extremely productive during Christmas/New Year time off... On everything except Rising Omega.

I spent a lot of time with family, completely painted a basement, wrote a custom piece of CMS/database software to keep track of family junk keepsakes and boxes in said basement, wired a set of custom tail-lights, installed two new KVM switches so that I can cycle all three of my primary monitors at my desk instead of just the center one (harder than you'd think because I have a fairly complex custom desk+bookshelf+vesa-arms setup that makes the monitors appear to float and hides all cables), reimaged my work machine fresh with a shiny new SSD and up to date copy of Windows - re-setup my whole dev environment afterwards, did lots of training with Sam (coming soon - a blog post just on that; It will be a doozie, in the best way), and played/DMd quite a few games of DnD.

So my Christmas, and interregnum, was extremely productive, enjoyable, fulfilling... But I only wrote a piecemeal bit for RO. About half of the next chapter all told.

All of which to say yes I'm still at it, no I'm not giving up/stopping now, but yes sometimes there will be lulls.

I'm hoping to finish RO sometime this year; If I have one New Year's Resolution, that's really it.

Everyone stay safe, wear your mask, stockpile your beans, ammo, and dice collections, and I hope you too had an excellent Holiday season!
