This is new news about a new story that you;'ve probably read about in a previous Blog at some point, but here it is;

Chapter 17 won't be too much longer now, probably going to be out sometime around 9am EST, but it will not be sub 20k as I anticipated. We're looking at a little over that. Of course, the chapter will be done sometime in the night, but releasing my shit in the morning seems to garner more attention, so I prefer to do that rather than at 3 am when there are fewer people able to read.

With Chapter Seventy-One of A Thief's Tale: Road To Redemtion being posted, there are only two chapters left of the madness. Here's hoping you enjoy.

I'm not sure why everything in Chapter 17 is underlined, and I really don't feel like re-editing the whole thing just to post it again and have the same problem.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hopefully the underlining isn't too terrible for most of you, but I just don't have it in me to spend another hour and a half editing my first draft, so es lo que es. I'll try to keep the same thing from happening in Chapter 18 which I am now 7.4k words into.

Been sick as shit so I haven't made much headway in the story before this morning, so please be patient and work with me for awhile longer. This week just hasn't been super.

In any case, be sure to keep breathing, drink water, and eat food.

Stay Cool, Kids.

As you can tell, I'm not pumping out chapters at my usual pace, but they are still coming. They're just slower. Work and a social life leave me with less than adequate time to get more than a thousand or so words a day, and I've had quite the bout of writer's block. Fuck dat bullshit tho and listen to this. I found it very fitting for a good bit of Max's life so far.

Okay, so I posted three chapters and didn't realize it. I'm doing Re: 13 now and am getting deeper into Max's interactions with Velvet Breeze, which is... It's getting fun. It's basically the whole reason behind the rewrites; To revisit the story chapter by chapter and have more fun with every one of them. I've read through A Thief's Tale maybe... 6 times now? This being the seventh. Every time I read through it, I couldn't help but notice more and more that I wanted to change and now that I'm

So the story is already quite morally sketchy. A lot of the things Max does could be considered bad or even evil, but in the chapter I'm currently writing, I recognize that things get more than sketchy. It's a debate on whether or not people have certain rights, and whether or not you agree is completely up to you and how you view good and evil. I'm personally on the fence about the matter, but I feel like Max, as a character and a fictional man has grown and evolved in such a way to make such

Since Chapter 26 is already done and I don't really want to move on yet, I'm going to do a minor rewrite of my first few chapters. Basically, I'm going to beef them up a bit and make them suck less so more people actually want to continue reading, though I'm pretty much leaving the story as it is. IT's really just adding details and fixing spelling, formatting, and a few other things. Chapter 26 is going to be released some time later today, most likely around 7:30 EST, so keep an eye out for

Instead of Sunday night at midnight, A Thief's Tale will be coming out on Saturday night, same time, same place. I just don't like having to spend my last night off of my weekend editing, so we'll see how this shit rolls for awhile, yeah?

But none I'll be posting tonight. Probably.

So I found the original First Chapter of A Thief's Tale, and it is now in my Gdocs where I'll never lose it again. I actually found it in my Gdocs, but it was under a fucked up title or something, so I never paid attention to it.

Having no ISP connection for 2 days is painful and boring. But that got me to finally read the Daring Do books so I can churn out a quick review on them.

Some of you may have noticed that A Thief's Tale has a sibling now under the name of A Thief's Tale: The Road To Penance, and apparently it's better than My Brother's Keeper. Reviews came in fast and the results were pretty clear: RTP > MBK, and I don't think that it's far fetched to say that MBK will be turned into a short story and folded into the Thief's Tale universe. I have a few ideas as to how I should end it and get the ends to connect, but I'm not sure about

So we hit three milestones here recently: We're halfway to a million words, the story now has twenty thousand total views, and it's within the top 150 longest stories on the site. I like all of these things. Share my hype.

So begins my exploration of Berrow’s Daring Do trilogy, now that I’ve actually acquired the books in question. Rather thematically appropriate; I had to track down the ancient artifacts and precious lore first. Let’s see if it was worth it.

As it is, I've already got an editor and I read through my own shit after they do their thing, but things are still slipping through the cracks and it's killing me on the inside when I read through a chapter and 'find' missing words, fucked up capitalization, or odd spacing/punctuation. If you're a bit of a Grammar Nazi or just paid/pay decent attention in school, feel free to PM me or comment on this shit.

Chapter 25 isn't going over too well. Maybe it's just too damn long. I prefer to read long chapters, but I realize that not everyone feels the same way. I'll try paring them down to 30k instead of shooting for 50k, but I like writing so I do it a lot. Sometimes it just so happens to take me on a longer journey than expected

I also realized that the inspiration for all of my longer chapters hasn't even written one above 30k yet, so fuck me

So I currently have an Editor who's caught up on everything, one who's currently catching up, and myself. Thing is, I suck at editing my own work, and the other guys have hectic schedules, which is why I might get a chapter written in the course of a few days if I'm lucky, but wait until the release day to actually put it out. There are other factors in that, but editing doesn't need to be one of them, yeah?

25 is going to be a slogfest, fellas. At 40,000 words, the place I want to end the chapter is probably much further ahead. I wish you the best of luck when reading it, and hope to get it out soon.
