Back in February and March I was over in Laos. This was after going to India for four weeks. I fractured my leg from crashing a motorcycle. After coming down from a winding stretch of mountain expanse with no petrol stations, service, or people for 40 kilometers, I finally came to a straightaway, and was 15 minutes away from a tourist destination that was going to be my next stop. There was a herd of cows about 100 meters infront of me alongside the road. As I got closer, 4-5 of them turned and

After some experimenting and playing around with an art tablet for a few hours, I've got some new cover art for Vault Dweller.

More Vault Dweller, chapter 59 is out. I can't remember how far back I wrote this one, but it's time for it to see the light of day.

After 2 seasons aboard a fishing boat, my laptop's hinges froze up, cracking off and leaving me with a screen that needs to be propped up permanently. Otherwise it lays flat or closed.

I'll work with what I got, I doubt it'll get replaced soon, but it's not the worst thing going on in the world right now.

After working an IRL job away from games, internet, cell, I didn't get any chances to sit down and write.
Everything that's coming out in the coming weeks, are everything that was written before leaving back in the end of May. I'll be doing some editing, and playing games, now that I finally have a chance to decompress and unwind.
Good to be home.

Holy moley, after looking down at the word count, the current total is 293k, with the next one clocking in at 7k.

Can anyone out there explain to me how my story racked up 300k words?!

After I post the next chapter of Vault Dweller, I'll officially be over 300,000 words.

Dang. I'm actually proud of myself for writing so much.

Pickman's Gallery is next.

I've got a massive backlog of chapter's I self edited, and ran through Grammarly, so I decided it's time to release them into the world!

I've written ahead to the ending for Act II, where Nate and Meathead deal with the entire Glowing Sea in one long 10.5k word chapter. All that's left is to fill in the blanks, and then I'll be pumping out chapters on a regular basis.

This chapter felt like it took a lot out, but everything else will come easily.

With Chapter 26 Up last week, there was a brief appearance of the first Pegasus in Vault Dweller,
Chapter 27 fleshed out a rescue mission by Meathead with Nate's help to go rescue the stranded pony from Super Mutants at the Atomatoys Headquarters.
The reveal takes a while to get to, but this is how I imagined it from the very start.

I wrote the Atomatoy's Chapter long before I actually started writing the rest of the story, that's how I've been operating.

Around May I'll be heading back to the land of no Internet, cell service, nor reception.

Alaska. End of Sentence.

Vault Dweller will be put on hold for around four months. If I get the chance to work on it, that'll be nice, but past experience dictates I wont have more than an hour per week to myself while I'm up there working my brains out.
