Hey all. Got a little update. Here we go.

Good news: I got a job. And, the location is nice and remote, so I get to be away from people most of the time.

Bad news: I'm usually beat by the end of the day, so writing is slow.

Good news: Because of the remoteness of where I'm working, there's no internet aside from my hotspot, so I can't waste time on online gaming.

Hey everyone,

I need a little feedback on Phoenix-born. Namely, has Raven seemed out of character in the last few chapters? I have a feeling about the answer, but I'd like outside perspectives on the matter.

Thanks.

Between working on my job applications, trying to get my latest research paper published, and working on phoenix-born, I occasionally come up with dumb ideas for stories that I don't ever expect to write. Most of these are crossover type things, but a few are originals. Anyhow, here are a few silly musings that will never see the light of day that I wanted to share because I'm procrastinating.

“From a seed left behind, a tree sprouts from the earth. 
As its roots grow downward, it takes from the land. 
As its branches grow upward, it gives back in turn. 
The earth protects the roots, which the tree needs to live. 
The earth demands the tree make it strong by holding the soil and rock together. 
Without the earth, the tree would die. 
Without the tree, the earth would never have lived.”

“Lightning strikes in the sky,
Thunder peals on high,
While we sail the sea of clouds,
There is glory to be won,
Before the setting of the sun,
Let the storm be our call!
Our call!
Let the storm be our call!”

Hey all,

Since there's a bit of a lull in my job applications, and I want to get back into a creative mind-space, I figured that doing a couple write-ups about the different factions might do the trick. So, I open the floor to you, my readers.

So, the internet at my current place is… not great. There appears to be some sort of network bottleneck (go f**k yourself Comcast), to the point that if I play any games that require online connection, I end up getting booted regularly and at random. So, I dug into my library and pulled out a bunch of Housemarque games that I used to play (Resogun,

You ever have one of those days where you've been outlining the next story arc, and you've got an antagonist in mind, but no matter what you do, you just can't make it work? Yea, I'm dealing with one of those. Except its not days, it's weeks.

And now we reach the fourth of our five living Phoenix-born, and General Sentry's second: Commander Spitfire.

Hopefully doing some art for phoenix-born will help me get back into the grove. Till next time.

Terrible news everyone, my dissertation is in, and I have officially graduated. Now I have to find a job.

So, between sending in job applications and looking for post-docs, I'm going to start getting back into Phoenix-born Rising, and hopefully finish up the Trials arc. Since I've been away from my baby, it's going to take a bit to get back into the grove. But, hopefully it won't take too long.

Thank you everyone for your patience.
