So, right this minute, I'm paying Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time. I was collecting debts, this one from the guy named Chick, and once I got it from where he left it, if you carry on down the hill, you'll find a small and abandoned building full of skeletons in a sermon. As a bonus, if you look in the chimney, you'll find some Aged Pirate Rum.

I have awoken from my slumber to give a little bit of an update and a ‘where I am’ thing.

But first, have a couple fantastic things I’ve found over my unannounced break.

A Story in Leaves by my good friend TurquoiseEmber on the Author’s Academy Wiki

Chuggaaconroy’s most recent Xenoblade Chronicles 2 episode, particularly the timestamp 22:40 (major spoilers for XC2, obviously)

Hey, y'all! I continue to exist!

Here we are nine-and-a-half months into 2023, yet this is only my first blog of the danged year. As usual, I have been writing a lot; finishing things has been another story, I'm afraid, and that one's yet to be told. I've been content proofreading fellow users' works-in-progress in the meantime, and past a certain threshold, I got my hands so full with theirs that I couldn't carry mine.

I have no regrets

What are...

What are words?

What are the words that can do this episode justice?

Just how good was this episode?

Well, let's see. What did you think, Putin?

How about you, Obama?

And what about you, Kim?

First things first: In case you missed it—which I've tried my hardest to prevent—Colony is now available for pre-order and will release on November 11th! It's here, it's ready to be read, and it is awesome.

Which, since Colony has been the end-all-be-all of my last few months, begs the question: What now? After all, Colony is done, it's coming out ... so now what? What's next?

I'm stuck inside today's story, trying to find a way out.  (Please send help.)

Sorry for the long wait and delays.

And a special thanks and sorry to my editors for the glacial response times. The chapter wouldn't have been half as good without you guys, and I'm sorry I've been so busy lately.

Now I only need to try not gnawing my nails to the bone on the wait to the responses to the first update in over a year.

At the beginning of this blog, I am going to promote a couple things, because, well, why not?
-The Cutest Butt Contest by Mr Allan (I voted for Vapor Trail).
-Time to Shine by Mr Allan.
-The Republic Rises by Mr Allan.

So, who missed me?
...
...
...
I'll take that silence as a no.

Anyway, it seems in my lengthy disappearance that some folk have begun to consider me dead. I'm not, still alive. Sorry, nobody is that lucky to be rid of me just yet.

My PC kicked it and I had to build an all new one. Then I built it and there was a few more issues to tend to. But it's all good for now, possibly. I'm back! I'll have something new out soon.

In the mean time, I hope all is well.

I was just looking, and Cubic Zirconia hasn't been updated in almost a year. I promise I haven't forgotten about it.

Alright, first things first, I'm sorry for not releasing a chapter when I said I would (I'd make an excuse but I'm not gonna treat you like you're retarded, ya'll know I'm just lazy I don't have an excuse).

Not much to fix here except once again I being way too many sentences with "I did this". I spruced up some descriptions and completely erased entire sentences that were just...kind of awkward. It's nice rereading everything. I knew how it all looked in my head but it doesn't always come across that way, but this is how we learn isn't it? The size of this chapter kept me from editing it for quite some time. So I took tonight and made a thousand words worth of progress here and there and took

Just finished my edits for chapter 5. Added in an extra scene and changed around some wording. I'm starting to notice fewer and fewer mistakes. This chapter didn't have as many past-tense mistakes as usual.

Just so you don't forget ...

I told myself I'd do three chapters tonight, but the very next chapter was a longer one. For the most part, there was just some clarification and formatting issues. As usual, I found any reason I could to cut down on the "I did this" and "I did that"s.

Last two days my insomnia has been ruining everything. I'll get tired, sleep for a rough four hours, with waking up every 30 minutes for no reason. Then I'll need to get up and do something because life doesn't stop for me, then not sleep until next time while being drained all day. I'm trying to work my second delivery job, but I've seen so tired that driving is risky.

Me before work "I'm gonna work on the next chapter of KOTD!"
Me during work *Edits an old chapter or starts to*

Next day
Me before work "I'm gonna edit an old chapter!"
Me at work *Works on next chapter

Next next day
Me before work "I'm just gonna do some writing!"
Me at work *Cleans up notes*

MAKE UP YOUR MIND BRAIN!

It's done! Finally! I really pushed my writing limits on this chapter! I was describing things with words that are...normally purely visual and auditory. It's new ground for me and I hope it flows well. I'm absolutely exhausted and disappointed it took me so long to get it out. That being said, it was fun and I hope you all enjoy it! Thanks again for your patience! Gonna do some more editing on a few older chapters now, so it will be nice taking a small break from new content.
