A rather rough semester combined with a general lack of inspiration has bogged down all my progress to a virtual halt. However, I have managed to finish enough of HeartBeat to constitute the bare minimum of a chapter. As always, I'd appreciate anyone who could spare a bit of time to look over the chapter and let me know just how badly I screwed up. To any all willing to help edit: LINK

No, not a literal personal trainer, though I am rather doughy... Okay, in addition to an actual personal trainer, I find myself in need of someone that can help push me to write. Here's the thing, I have no real barriers to getting words down. I have plenty of inspiration and, sometimes, free time with which to write. But I just don't have the motivation. My drive to write is often subverted by other distracting things. Pointless things, but things I just don't seem to have the

Despite some very sound advice, I still can't help but feel as though I should be putting out more. While I do have some publishable material I've been sitting on, I don't have any pre-readers, contributors, editors, etc. I'm also wanting to do a proper cover-art (for once). While I'd hoped (and still do) to find someone willing to do it pro-bono, I do suppose all my recent overtime may grant me the windfall necessary to commission one. Anyone care to help me write a story? Find

Due to a serious lack of motivation, I squandered my three day weekend last weekend, and today's my only day off. Unfortunately, averaging over 50 hours a week really cuts into not only story writing time, but also allows projects around the house to pile up. I'm going to try to get a bit done on Dragon Emissary today, but I don't have any illusions that there might be a chapter published this week (Sorry!).

I have a rare reprieve from my relentless work schedule. A three day weekend. I plan on making the most of it. Now, today was day one, though I didn't squander it. I just finished the latest chapter of HeartBeat. Just need to edit it and get it posted. I'm hoping to at least get the next chapter of Dragon Emissary finished before I return to work, too. Two chapters if I'm lucky. (I'm never lucky)

Well, it looks like I might only be run ragged another couple of weeks. I got word that we're hiring on some more help, so as soon as they're trained up, I'll have back some more free time. Until then, I fear that I will get precious little done. For lack of an update on any of my stories proper, I've updated the file to that other story I'm working on. I've enabled comments, so feel

I really wanted to have Dragon Emissary done by now, but I've gotten nearly nothing done with it. I went from finals week to a working weekend, into a rotation, and then I've worked every day since. I've got a day off coming up, but then it's right back to work for a straight week. And, though I hate to say it, I have other things that need to be done on that day off. It may well be into July before I have more than one day off a week. I really wanted to work more during my summer break,

Next week is finals week, hence my lack of updates and progress. Unfortunately (actually I'm pretty stoked about it) I have a clinical rotation immediately after finals, so I'm unlikely to get much done until the week after next when that rotation is over. But that's when my summer vacation starts. My goals for the summer include finishing Dragon Emissary within 4 weeks of the onset of my vacation, and HeartBeat before the end of summer vacation.

When they aired the newest episode, I tried not to like the dragon princess. She's just shipping material for Spike, I told myself. But darned if I didn't like her anyway (best episode this season, in my opinion, and it set quite the bar, too). So It gave me enough inspiration for a short story. Though, I decided instead of chugging through it all at once (and spending a good several days if not weeks churning out the 8000-12000 words this story will take) I decided to post just the first

I just published the final chapter to The Cold Streets of Baltimare. Go give it a read! I don't want to be too spoilery, but just let me say that I'd be lying if I didn't have an idea for a sequel.

Now, to turn my focus back to HeartBeat and that other thing I was working on...
