The Moon Also Rises: A Retrospective · 2:10am Nov 27th, 2017
First off, to all those who stuck their head into this world, thanks. It's nice, in its own way, to see one's words reach another.

Well, it's been a long time coming.
I have mixed feelings about all this. I'll probably do a much bigger blog post later to summarise some of those feelings. For now . . . I guess I just wanted to mark the occasion.
To anyone reading the chapter, or reading this, thanks for sticking with me.
“The Everstorm comes, but have faith, friend. Ours is not the only Shard that stands in its way.”
“I think about my education sometimes. I went to the University of Chicago for awhile after the Second World War. I was a student in the Department of Anthropology. At that time they were teaching that there was absolutely no difference between anybody.
They may be teaching that still.
Another thing they taught was that no one was ridiculous or bad or disgusting. Shortly before my father died, he said to me, ‘You know - you never wrote a story with a villain in it.’
This world was never special, yet Odium’s brief sojourn here was plagued with more horror than anything we had seen before. We still aren’t sure just how far the ripples have spread.
Nothing important, I just wanted a little something something to mark the occasion. Chapter Thirty of TMAR just went live, and that marks halfway. At the current rate, we'll be done around November 2016.

goes back to writing
Well, this has been a long time coming. Three hundred and fifty-one days (351) to be exact. In that time, some things have changed, others haven't.
So Chapter Twenty-Four just went live, bringing Part Two to a close.
Unfortunately, the second semester of the year begins next Monday, and if the first is anything to go by, I will not have the time I need to continue weekly updates of this story. That means that The Moon Also Rises isn't going to be updated for a while—probably somewhere around fourteen to fifteen weeks.
It is my displeasure to announce a slight delay in the posting of chapter Twenty-One of The Moon Also Rises.
Alright, so the Lethe rewrite went live today. I'm much, much happier with where it is now—both the quality of the prose and story as a whole, and the world-building elements, and foreshadowing of events for The Moon Also Rises work much better now.
There have been substantial changes to the structure, and relatively minor plot points. I'd encourage rereading, though it isn't necessary.
Alright, so I've entered into a small contest in the group "Badass-Twilight-Total-Domination." The aim is to draw in as many new members as possible through stories relating to Twilight being awesome--so pretty much any story with Twilight at all.
Yeah, the title of the group is kinda silly. But hey, it's a smallish community, and extremely low-spam. Anyone part of the larger groups (Writer's Group, Proofreader's Group, etc) won't even notice.
