Heyo! So a few things to take note of, I guess. If you haven't noticed, I update things... fairly constantly as I go, or figure out what I'm doing, or have things pointed out to me. A few of the changes from yesterday to today include: Adding a few minor things in chapter one to make things clearer, changing the PK text slightly, and going back ...

Long chapter. I got a few hours of sleep after finishing 8, then woke up at 4am unable to go back to sleep, so since that's my new favorite writing time, I took the next seven hours to work on this one. Go figure. Leena was a surprise to me. But hey, that's the fun of discovery writing with only a vague vision of where I'm going.&nbs...

Happy... day. It's a day. I dunno, I've kinda lost track of days and times this last week. So yeah. Whatever day it is, hope you're having a good one!
I was thinking about it, when I realized I was on chapter 8 and not even close to finishing this first area. I'm writing a slice of life VRMMO. Not something I realized or intend...

Naming stuffs is hard, so I copped out and had some fun. XD Bonus points to anyone who knows all of them!
I do feel bad for Rune tho. >.< Poor guy is just trying to make friends.

One of these days, I'll get back on a normal sleep schedule. Today is obviously not that day. I dunno. 12-5am is just such a peaceful time when I don't have to worry about people messaging or distracting me.
So, here's my random question of the day. What naming conventions have you seen in MMOs whe...

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
I admit, I struggle with fight scenes. I'm also OCD enough that I created all of Robbin's stats and items. I don't think I want to do that for everyone, but my brain might not give me the option not to, if Ash is fighting them.
And I know, it's a ton of world exposition and mechanics. I k...

Finally got this one done! Not sure I'm happy with the title Mirror, but I can't think of what else to call it. (side note: this has made me very happy I've opted to not use chapter titles for Elysium, cuz I hate titling stuff, even if it makes it easier to find things later. >.<)
Random aside, please make sure if you like extr...

I posted this to facebook, but I realized it should probably be said here too for those who don't see it there.
So, this week has been a bit eye-opening for me. When I started writing Siphon, I honestly thought, "This is going to be like all my other writing projects, I'll probably drop it in a week." Only, a month went by, and not only ha...

I know, I know. It's still not a Siphon post. But my brain is still in "OH SO SHINY!" mode. >.<
Better than nothing, eh? Also, I hate fight scenes and math, so I have no idea why I love this idea so much. Oh well. I'm having fun!
I've also started to put this into the tiers too, so until such a point as I have...

Whew. I needed something happy to share yesterday, so my brain went overdrive focusing on fleshing out the traits. If you're interested, I've posted some basic character creation on both my facebook and discord, and I'd love it if you guys participated! It's just something fun to see what people pick.
Aside from that, I did actually ...

So yeah. I've been working on this for most of a day, and let me tell you, creating a VRMMO is haaaaaaaard work. However, I think I've finally got most of the mechanic basics and stuff that I need down, so I was gonna go to sleep, and then my brain said "No, you need to write chapter 2." So I did.
I have -very- tentatively put this one on ...

Hey guys, Happy New Year! Hopefully everyone had a lovely holiday season! I know this isn't exactly what you were hoping to see, but I took a bit of a break for the holidays, and when I was ready to write, my brain only wanted to work on this idea, so I figured I'd get it mapped out a little bit and get the itch out.
Honestly, I know thi...
My sleep schedule is so messed up right now. I was watching fruits basket the other day and there was a conversation that went something like this. "Morning." "It's evening. Maybe you should try getting your sleep schedule together." "Writers don't have to do that, which is why I became one!" And I just kinda stared at it, feeling like it hit a ...

Hey, I forgot to include this in my post, so here's just an fyi for everyone. Audible is having a huge member appreciation sale until 12/17 and has put ~1000 books on sale for 5-10$. I have to admit, with so many books to choose from, getting Siphon on there is a fun affirmation for me and a nice jab at my imposter syndrome. There's also a surpr...

Hey guys, hope you had a good weekend! Any votes on what this chapter should be called? I can't seem to pick titles I like lately.
Anyway, things are going. My sleep schedule is a bit messed up right now because I'm just tired all the time. Something about two diseases making me fatigued at the same time just makes it so I go take a ...

This was an interesting chapter. It wasn't quite where I had pictured it going, but it started with the onslaught of my own symptoms. It's funny, looking back on certain chapters, I can pinpoint exactly what was going on the day I wrote, what class I attended, what story I was reading.
So, fun story. I got covid during Thanksgi...

I'm having more of a problem with titles lately, but eh. This was... an interesting chapter for me to write. I guess I've had a lot on my mind, especially with everything that's going on in the world lately. It might feel a little darker than normal with that said. Book 4 in generally seems to be coming from all the wonderful gifts covid and 202...

I posted on facebook, but as not everyone sees that, I'm posting here. I'm just gonna host a random zoom call in like 20 minutes,(3pm PST) for probably like an hour. If you want to drop by, you're more than welcome. I'll probably try to do this more in the future (with slightly more planning in advance.)

Yeah, I dunno what to title this one. Any suggestions are welcome, as well as suggestions for whatever the House family should be called, as I haven't decided that yet either.
Hopefully everyone is having a lovely holiday season! <3 Thanks for your support!

Hey all! Hope you're doing well! This chapter, I'm mostly doing a shoutout to Ryan DeBruyn. Dude is one of my really good friends, and he's the one who honestly got me back into a writing schedule and writing every day.

Haven't thought of a title for this, cuz it's been several months in the writing. I finally got back into the full swing of writing today, with hope for a good routine that will finally help me get more done.

I'm exhausted. Xan is moving out of state and I was helping him, and it has thrown off my schedule. Really, family being in town this week and my nephew coming home from the hospital threw me off. Lots of driving and family time. So when I took a nap yesterday, I wasn't expecting the nightmare that haunted me.
