New chapter is 2,200+ words so far. It's very dialogue-heavy at the moment (1,500 words split between two conversations alone) and although I'm trying to trim it down to make it more concise, the chapter's probably still gonna be mostly talking even after editing.

If things go as planned, you should see something of a breakthrough in the understanding of how humans interact with some of the various manifestations of magic on Equis. So, lore.

Because the rough draft took longer than expected and the final draft needs another week to cook, I'm pushing back the upload schedule.

New chapter will be up on the 26th at the latest.

Welcome once again, writers! It’s Monday, and you know what that means. It’s time for more Being a Better Writer.

Splitting my attention between Nitro Indigo's Swapped Roles contest as well as continued work on the Snippet Series has left me with the worst outcome: two partially finished prompts, neither fit for uploading by my self-imposed deadline. I blame no one but myself.

Hello everyone! Due to work being busy this last week as well as some pre-holiday preparation, I wasn't able to get as much writing done as hoped this week. I'm therefore aiming to update tomorrow, most likely in the afternoon or early evening. My apologies for yet another delay, and I thank you for your patience.

The process of writing is as subjective as the product. Sometimes, however, hearing about the creative process of others can be interesting. It might help one consider things that you had not. It might give one insight into one’s own creative process. It might reaffirm why one does things the way they do.

For today’s blog post, I’d like to discuss scheduling and time management.

That’s right, I’m home at last.

Hello writers! So, full confession time: I’m not quite at 100% yet. In fact, I might even try for a nap after this post is over. We’ll see how I feel.

But I’ve got to be good enough to deliver today’s Being a Better Writer post! After all, I promised it!

As the title says, the next chapter of Coltislava is 99.9% complete and will be out soon. It took muuuuch longer than it needed to, and I hope it's worth the wait.

And now for the second part - UPDATES. They're about my output and the lack thereof.

I've realized that I've been trying to do too many things at once, and because of that it's been affecting my life, both professionally and creatively.

Welcome back readers! I hope you had an enjoyable weekend! It was (mostly) a quiet one for me, though I did have family over to make enchiladas on Sunday (so nice and hot) which was an absolute blast.

Hello readers! Sorry for the lateness of this post. I didn’t sleep well last night, and that kind of lead me to sleep in this morning once I actually did fall into slumber.

But you aren’t here for that, you’re here for Being a Better Writer. And we’re diving right into it, as is fitting when you consider the title.

Sorry it's a tad late. We didn't give ourselves enough time to trim the last riff to its final length. It's done now, though, and right here. Unsurprisingly, a lot of people died trying to conquer just the FIRST story in here.
