Firstly, I would like to wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I took some time off to have fun with family and friends and I hope you all had a wonderful time this year.

Now progress update, I have completed my revisions on the plan for 'Family', I had to re-write the ending to fit with the way the story had gone, but I think it was worth it. I will begin writing again soon and hopefully an update will follow after that.

Those 40 years Chapter 2 is currently in the writing phase. - Next chapter slated for sometime this week depending on my editor

Meddling with fates is now in the outlining phase again. - Outlining phase takes approximately 3 weeks depending on the content. During that time I will be working on chapters a small amount, but I will not release a chapter until the outlining phase is complete.

IN WHICH I WAS PRODUCTIVE SORTA
Before I begin, I want to share this MV. One of my personal favourites of Laura's. Enjoy!

Going through my archive, I'm pretty sure I haven't posted this one yet. Now, onto the meat of the post…

If any of you actually pay attention to stuff I do (probably not), you might remember little mentions (like this and this) of a bigger story involving minotaurs that I was really excited to get started on. I'm still really excited for it, and it keeps looking better and better. Lily and Binary were both done really,

There wasn't any!

Well, no, that's an exaggeration. There was progress, but the next chapter isn't ready to go. It's yet to be finished, and yet to be edited, and the long and short of it is that I'm not sure when it will be done and now I'm scared of making a hard-and-fast deadline because I might not make it.

So, still working on the next chapter. Actually, I'm considering splitting the content I have right now. With the scenes I have, Word is telling me it's 11, 254 words, and I still have a ways to go on what I have planned. But I'll still hacking away at it.

So, it’s been a while since I posted, but I might as well give you some heads-up.

IN WHICH I REMEMBER AN OLD LESSON

Read More

So I may have said earlier this week that I would have Minoan Crisis published by today-ish, pending my submission of the cover art to a contest that closed entries today. Well, that didn't quite happen. I mentioned I was sick in my last blog. What I didn't know at the time was that I had bronchitis, and an even more serious case of laziness. I also lost my sketchpad, so that kept things off for a while. I've also been

I feel like I owe y'all a blog post so everyone knows what's going on. Red 36 is not dead and neither am I. (You go thinking "Gee, it's early enough in March that I shouldn't have to make a blog post" then suddenly half the month is gone) For one, I got my Wisdom Teeth removed a couple (three?) weeks ago and the pain and the meds were making it really hard to finish up the chapter. Or just focus on anything in general... A few other things also came up at the end of February. Then there was

I think I'm going to start doing these monthly. Keep myself accountable, and all that. I'm currently averaging about a chapter a week:

As I feared frankly expected, the chapters are still being split for length, so it's getting kind of hefty and we're looking to shoot for the 200k mark. I'm sure they'll get edited down a bit in rewrites, but probably not to the point where I can condense them back into singular chapters.

...of my life, not of any story you can read here. I left my university for the summer, and on a whim took a cross-country road trip with my roommate. So now I'm spending the weekend at his family's house in Aurora, Illinois before I fly the rest of the way home. It's not every day that you stay in a city named after yourself.

Spending hours on top of hours filling in little rooftops in different colors and all in different perspectives shouldn't be part of something you do for a hobby, but that's what I've been doing for the past two weeks (I think... it's all kind of blurry). Oh sure, there was a sense of satisfaction when I finished drawing the city, but that doesn't change the fact that

Preach, girls.

No, not really. But this speaks to me on a spiritual level. did i use that right?

For all you authors out there. Also, this play is the shit. Go see it if you can, especially if you know about Shakespeare and other Broadway musicals.

I don't know how you could be reading this if you didn't notice already, but Minoan Crisis is finally up. Gosh I've been working on this thing for months. Late November, I think is when I first started an outlining doc.

To those who have enjoyed my stories, I come bearing news. Some good, some bad. Depends on who you ask.

The bad news first:

My incomplete stories are going into haitus for an indefinite period of time. If you caught some of my early blog posts about my real-life status, you probably understand why. Since returning to this site, I have since gotten a more demanding day-job that takes up almost every single one of my days. Full-time with nearly guaranteed overtime.

Just a little one. Not much of an obstacle, when you think about it.

I'll let the big-name people do the actual analyses of this episode. I'll just point things out and hope I get some discussion. It was fun for Griffonstone, hopefully it will be fun here, too.

Like world-building, for example. Not only did Griffons get another drop in the bucket for Best Species with their awesome tiger-striped and hawk-beaked delegate:

But we saw more pony designs, like this mare:

Today I had my first day off that I’ll see in a 17-day period (right in the middle of it) but because I’m working two jobs right now. And I’m glad to say I’ve made great progress on the story. I’ve just about finished A Kindled Beginning now. Need to go back and edit it further which will probably eat at more of my free time, to make sure it comes out perfect come publication.
