Okay, I've needed to get this blog post out for a while, for a whole big bunch of reasons.

First of all: thank you everybody for the kind words! I've gotten a lot more comments and messages lately on Maternal, most of it good and prompting me to continue. I'll get to that!

I'm on chapter 5 currently for editing. Ugh some of these chapters are just so...sloppy. Like some sentences are bland and disorganized, others make me wonder how they got past my editing. In my defense, I was still rather new at writing.

Got a bit of work done on the next chapter and I finished editing chapters two and three!

This dialogue was irritating because there's a ton of dialogue that has to happen at this time. I tried to break it up with a few brief moments of interactions between characters and backstory, but it still feels dull to me. This is also one of those ties where I wanted to hint at something, while secretly planning something else. There's still that worry of it coming across as bad writing, but owell.

AAAGGGHHH! I've never tried to describe people doing choreographed dances before. Describing the beat of a drum and fire twirling, I just...uuuggghhh. I already wrote everything in the chapter that isn't dance/music related and it feels like I just have this massive hurdle.

I realized I misworded some of the depictions of where he is. It was crystal clear in my head , but this is how you learn hehe.

Okay... My original plan was to release two chapters at first and then one every week or so. I thought a week might be a bit too long time and suddenly I overshot it. I have three (3) more chapters ready and I'm planning to release them at a bit faster pace - maybe. I still have to write the rest of the story at some point too. The thing is, that... Oh. Hehe, I almost made an excuse for not having time to do so... Like they say, time is something you make, not something you find. I'll just have

Chapter 37
There was like...several words missing in chapter 37. I was actually shocked how it happened without me every noticing.

Chapter 38
Made like...there was a brick of dialogue, split it in half. That was it haha!

So in this one, some of my chapters are formatted weird cause around this time, fimfic was having issues with uploading a doc from google docs and copypaste got weird too. Didn't see much that needed changing, but I spruced up the formatting.

I think I may have edited this chapter before. There wasn't much to fix except the usual and a few odd descriptions.

Honestly, if you're waiting for my edits to finish, don't bother. I'm just kind of nit-picking and looking for things to spruce up. I haven't found much, if anything, in the way of errors.

Oh wow, actually doing updates, writing and keeping times between chapters decent? Have I been replaced with a changeling?! Eh, who knows. Chapter three of 'Bird Behavior' is almost finished being written before it gets proofread and edited. Hopefully I have it up by tonight or tomorrow.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

OH MY GOSH LOOK WHO IS ALIVE! IT'S ME.

Really though, hi, I'm back from my self-imposed exile, and I even wrote a thing, pretty crazy right? It really isn't much, just a quick comedy/shipping story with Twilight and Dash, expect the whole thing to be about 3 or 4 chapters when all is said and done.

Agh chapter 46 is kicking my ass! There are so many friggin long convos! Don't get me wrong, they're all important, but uuuggghhh! I think that's been one of the main challenges with writing KOTD, is all the different emotions this novel has. A lot of it I REALLY have to be in the mood. Some chapters are me "venting" after having a nasty panic attack or just old memories from my PTSD.

We're now firmly in the Dead of Winter. Look forward to tomorrow and the 11th Anniversary of "Elements Change the Dark Hearts"...

Hey folks!

I wanted to wish ya'll a Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Sorry I haven't been active in posts this month, been trying to get over being sick, and unfortunately had to get my updated Covid Booster which also kinda delayed a lot of progress for me to continue. But I am feeling much better now which is awesome

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?
