The planets have aligned, hype has been gathered, and I'm now back. The logical step now is to outline in somewhat more detail what I'm going to be doing, so far as I've actually planned that in advance.

Kindly get hype.

While reading any of my writing,
- Take a sip every time there's a spelling or grammar error
- Take a sip every time the story is in present tense for no apparent reason.
- Take a sip every time I self-parody or self-depreciate either in the story or the comments for that chapter.
- Take a drink every time I randomly segue into overly detailed descriptions of mundane things that nobody cares about.

Yup, it happened again. I've been flitting between stories recently, and ended up not making progress on most of them for a while. In the end, I started a new one, since I felt it was about time. It's a sequel to Music, picking up roughly where the first left off. My current plan is for it to have Vinyl as more of a viewpoint character, in contrast to the first where most of the narration was tailored to Octavia. I don't have too much to say about it other than that I'm glad to be back to using

I updated Fear a few days ago, and I let it sit for a little bit so the people who read it would have chance to do so. Now, I usually do a blog post accompanying chapter updates for Fear, but I didn't do it straight away this time. And the reason for this is, believe it or not, the same reason I update so slowly on the main story. Here it is:

Fear is bloody exhausting.

Wrote something as a palette cleanser after I felt annoyed at the coming chapter of Fear. Just a quick warning: it was written (and will be written) pretty much solely for my own enjoyment. If you like it, cool; if you don't, too bad. It's basically going to be my 'selfish' story, wherein I do largely what I want and update largely when I want to. Think of it as a way to blow off steam when I've had a tough time writing something more aimed at an audience.

I just did the first draft of the next chapter of Fear, which I started immediately since last chapter was late. It's a fairly long one, at least for me; I feel it could be better, but hopefully proofing can help that out. I'm just glad the party arc is over now. I like the general premise, and I always enjoy using accidental foreshadowing to make my plots weird and yet fairly sensical, but I feel like the impetus of moving the plot along swiftly kind've robbed me of the time I need to derp

See title. I ended up splitting the chapter to make the workload easier and give you guys something to read. Now to go back and answer all the comments I missed whilst I was feeling guilty for not updating.

See title, essentially. I've been struggling away with it for a while now, and thus have produced very little in the past several weeks; I can get maybe 300 words a day if I'm lucky before it feels like I'm smashing my face against a brick wall. I have not, of course, been wasting my time. Even though I can't produce very much in terms of actual writing at the moment, I've been doing idea generation quite faithfully, so the moment I can get anything down, I'll have more than enough to write

Yep, it's time for another update blog to soothe worries of my death and say what's going on with various stories.
