Because I'm one of those damned dirty millennials I go through periods where I suddenly drop projects for little to no reason. I can't say what caused me to stop writing nearly eleven months ago and I can't promise I'm going to start writing again, but y'know, there's the chance of me getting bored and deciding to write more, especially more Bluebelle, since some of my regular TTRPGs are dying. So yeah, enjoy a blog post on a pretty much dead account. I'm still salty with myself that I stopped

So after dealing with a lot of financial crap, work was like "Go take a huge ass vacation."

Chapter 33:
I spruced up the descriptions some, and changed some wording. A lot of it sounded unclear and awkward so it should flow better now.

Chapter 34:
There were a decent amount of typos and I was rather shocked. They were all technically words, so it might explain why spellcheck didn't catch them. Same deal as before, some descriptions were kind of unclear, and I added in some extra imagery.

Eh, saw several annoying typos and a few places to spruce up the wording. Also there were some unclear actions I was able to tidy up, nothing too serious imo.

How do I rekindle my faith in humanity? Sometimes I look at the state of humanity today as a society and I realise why some people have completely lost all cares for societal problems. No care for politics, no care for religious and social movements, no care for sexism or racism. And I feel like I'm going the same way. I want to care about our society, I want to help and contribute. But when that society is full of things that just make me angry well before I can even think about anything, I

But it might just need to be edited.

This was a longer and more difficult chapter. I spruced up the descriptions and general formatting. there was some stuff that I felt could have been described or worded better. At the end, I added in a character and put in a few more things with General Versa. I might add a bit more later, but for now I'm content with it.

Hey you! Do you read blog posts made by me? Let's hope you do since you appear to be doing that right now. Do you also enjoy the horror/gore genera of stories? Again, let's hope you do, or this whole minute of your life will be completely wasted. Do you like seeing characters you know and love go insane? Let's... actually, this one is pretty OK to say no to. I don't even enjoy that most days.

Final count, before editing and counting author's notes: 17585 words, 48 pages.

And it only took me one year, half a million words slash about a thousand pages in scrapped outlines, and most of my remaining sanity!

Hopefully the thing should go live later the coming week, depending on how the editing goes. Been a while, but hopefully they'll all still be available slash still interested.

Just a quick heads-up, but the Black Friday Sale is live and running! Here’s a brief break-down:

No matter where you are, there should be something on sale. UK-based or using that half of Amazon’s systems? You can get Shadow of an Empire for 50% off. US-based? Colony is 67% off.

No matter what, there should be a couple of books on sale for you to check out. Head on over to the books page and see what you can pick up!

I'm getting closer to when I was planning to re-watch the show and I'm pretty positive it's going to entice me to update (though the biggest motivator remains my patreon as that's what inspired me to update affame d'amour last summer).

What should I update first?

Affame D'amour

Daring Do and the Legend of the Ruby Knight

Legend

or A taste of Caramel

God I love writing action, but it can get so annoying. Do you know how hard it is to condense a scene to as few words as possible, while everything still keeps at an intense, clear pace?

Best typo in KOTD: "She grabs the back of his head and holds it still, as she drives a knee spike into his forehead. She shoves his dad bod away." Christ that's been in there this entire time
