    [12/31/2022] An Author's Address

    [07/17/2021] Zero Communication

    So, this'll be a short blog post.

    I don't see comments from people anymore. Do people really not have that much of an attention span anymore that long-form stories like mine, with decently long chapters, no longer get attention?

    Has it come to the point where it's not about the quality of stories, but how many you pump out, or how many chapters you put out?

    We Made Front Page!

    Seriously! I post the third Case File, and within SECONDS I hit front page! Sure, it's lower down than I'd appreciate, but DAMN! I've only hit front page ONCE before, and that was with Secrets of the Zone!

    While I wish Future Tactics would make it, Deadwood's Detective Agency is still a fun medium to write in, and it's thanks to all you fantastic readers that it hit the front page!

[06/03/2022] Updates and Continuations! · 10:59am Mar 6th, 2022

So, it's been only a day or so since I published the newest chapters of Deadwood's Detective Agency and Future Tactics - The War Games, and the response I've seen so far has me pumped! Both stories are labours of love, but for a while, I was legitimately burned out from writing (It's a problem that happens if I try to 'blitz' writing chapters - it takes so much out of me that I get writer's block that refuses to go away unless I try and focus on something like a short story).

However, coming back, I have noticed a few things:

1) A lot of focus is still on short-form stories (Stories which more constitute the equivalent of a short story, or single-chapter stories)

2) A lot of stories are already coming out for G5 (Which is incredible to see, and it appears some of the stories are exceptionally well done, so that's incredible)

3) Despite any thoughts to the contrary, people still really enjoy detective and long-form science fiction stories.

None of these are negatives, as you can see, which makes me very happy for the next coming group of potential writers.

There is a caveat, though - with the new writers, I'd like to impart a very important piece of advice:

Don't give up. Your first few stories are not going to be the greatest in existence, so just work on your style. Read a lot of books, light novels and short stories and see how they work. Always remember that you are still learning, and that you will improve as long as you believe you can. Once you tell yourself that you can't, you will find that it becomes harder and harder to write.

So, don't give up, and never say 'you can't.'

If you're a long-time follower/watcher, I appreciate you all.
