Hrm. 3 upvotes and a downvote.
So, the first couple of constructive pieces of criticism of the new chapter hit home, and I'm writing this to address, if not totally fix, the problem they rightfully pointed out... well, fix it as much as I can without basically ripping out a third of the chapter, which isn't going to happen.
Today I got an interesting reminder. Jungle, the second book in the UNSEC Space trilogy, had its pre-order page go live today, three years ago.
Now, this is relevant because I’m currently hard at work on getting Starforge, the third and final book in that same trilogy, into the same state.
I know many of you have been waiting for this moment to arrive. Last week, the writing was on the wall when you all got your first look at some bits of chapter 1 of Starforge, at long last giving you a peek a what our famed corporate investigator has been up to since the end of Jungle. And, of course, there was the sense of omnipresent dread that

I'm a bit less than halfway through editing the final YouTube installment, combining the last two-and-a-bit parts of the Mun Miner odyssey into one video.
Next stream is Monday 6-8, followed by Wednesday 6-10. Each stream will begin with me flying a new attempt at a spaceplane, followed by work on the crewed Duna expedition plus whatever else pops up.
Well, we’ve reached this moment. We’ve seen Jake. We’ve seen Anna. That just means that there’s one member of the trio left to get our early look at.
Heh. Pony in space is awesome.
So I've wandered off to Space engineers once more, and once more it's sucked me in. I'll be getting back to Sub soon, as I've had a few ideas and now know how to get over the latest hump, but let me learn you guys some things...
THINGS I'VE LEARNED ABOUT BUILDING SPACE SHIPS ON PLANETS:
1:unlike in space, if you don't lock it down, the ship will tip over while you're building it, leaving you angry and frustrated.
Hundreds of views, and dislikes, too.
I have no idea what’s going on with that story.
I’d might as well bring a darker side to the series, so why not?
I've finally gone and done something that I should have done a long time ago. I went and made a physical, four-page story board for The Equestrian Event. Although I had a rough idea of where the story would go, I believe that it will be a much easier and more enjoyable task to write chapters with this new plan. Knowing what will happen ahead of time really seems to help when you are the one writing the story. Go figure.
Update time! Episode two, titled Blackout, will not be posting tomorrow. It’s about halfway done, though, so look for it next week. What’s episode two about? Well, it involves a new job (shocker!) and … the Mexican Orbital Elevator?
I've finished GARGANTULON VS. THE SPACE DRACULAS.
Kind of a change of pace for the last chapter, but it seemed the proper way to wrap things up. Not everything can end in ridiculous hijinks, after all. And, well, it's good to end things-- I'd hate to leave it off dangling like a few other unfinished stories I have banging around in the depths of my library. Ehehm.
Or rather, in Europa.
You live your whole life in water, between the firmament above and the firmament below. Your entire civilization has risen without once sparking a fire. You may not even know what light is; you might have other ways to see the world around you. Some days you wonder what might lie beyond the firmaments; perhaps there are other vast seas like your own, locked behind the walls of an infinite universe of solid stone and ice, and open liquid realms.
