Plans for the New Year Posted 3 months ago
Been a while, hasn't it?

Well I haven't really dug my way out of that hole. Work has been stressful this past year and the dawning realization that I'm not getting younger and my dream job may be under threat of an AI takeover certainly don't help. So I'm making changes. Sometime this year I'm going to go start trade school and get out of my current job. It was working me 12 hours a day usually. Five to six days a week at that. Maybe with a more regular schedule I can dedicate more time to you guys and my dreams again.

I have a Thanksgiving finished and Christmas Special in the works. I wanna finish the Christmas Special before I post either. Then I need to finish my commissions. Then I get back to where I left off. That's the plan. We'll see how that goes. Here's...

I've dug myself into a hole... Posted 1 year ago
So as you may have seen, I've updated my commission status. I don't remember how many in total I have. I think I have at least one more, but I'm not sure... way too many messages to dig through everything a this very moment.

I have a couple stories that took way too long to write, and with the upcoming carrier strike, I'm remaining busy with little drive. But I've finished a couple pieces of my own now. They'll be posted in the next day or two. Then I have a bunch of commissions to write. I'm sorry disappearing for so long and making more promises than I could realistically maintain. I'm gonna hammer these out, probably two at a time, but it's gonna be a while.
Hey, it's been a while... Posted 2 years ago
Well I just finished a commission for Apostolos. The newest entry to Heir by Unbirth. Plus I've got another one for someone else coming soon. Things have been pretty hectic since about last November, but I'm back in the swing of things... hopefully. At least as long as I don't get sucked too deep into Mount and Blade Bannerlord.

I don't think it has been posted just yet, but I'd recommend starting from the beginning since it's been so long. It's a pretty solid read, with most all of the plot being their own work. I gave a different writing style, taking advantage of it being in a fantasy world to write in a more old fashioned style. It's about a pair of noble twins sucked into political intrigue, forced to be hidden away in an Elven maid lest they be discovered and their...

Sorry for the Delays and Also an Story Update Posted 3 years ago
I just started a new job recently and the hours are absolutely brutal. I still have not gotten used to it and as a result, it has taken me nearly all month to get anything done. I'll hop back onto the commissions for soon enough, but I really just wanted this finished before June was over.

Speaking of. This chapter marks the end of the third arc for these characters. From here, I only have vague ideas and intend to put Iz and the main crew on hiatus for now. Instead, I intend to work more on some side projects for the time being such as a sequel to "One Big Baby", Alexandra, and switch focus to Triss and Prudence for a while with something for Jada a little further down the pipeline. I'm really excited for what's coming next, I just hope I can find the time to...

Valentine's Update Posted 4 years ago
I want to start by saying thank you to everyone for continuing to be patient with my lackluster work ethic. Cause it's not just this that I've been pushing to the sidelines.

So, I have something written for Valentine's Day and I'm working on a supplemental piece. Cause what I've written explores things I've been pretty uncomfortable with till lately. I don't want to reveal anything, but the second half of the story is something my general audience may not find appealing. That said, the other piece is more my standard fare.

Also, I have a couple commissions I'm working on. A piece from max123 and another from a new commissioner that I'm keeping to myself. Both of which should be finished in the coming weeks. And hopefully I'll be commissioning a piece myself of...

Branching Out Posted 4 years ago
The Awakening project is going well and all, but there are certain things that I can't explain or do in this universe. The Awakening is supposed to be science fiction. The reason behind it is pseudoscience techno-babble. But the explanation in my brain does not line up with the new idea stirring around in my mind. So the next chapter of the Isabelle saga may be delayed as I begin playing around with this new idea. It may somehow, someday tie back into the main narrative, but for now, it is a separate story.

I've never been one for magic. But I do love the place where science and magic bleed into one. Cosmic entities from another plane of existence. Eldritch horrors whose sight alone drives mortal man mad. The world of Lovecraftian abominations and the seemingly mystical...

Back Log Posted 4 years ago
Hey I know it's been a while, but my hours changed, and my drive has been fading in and out. Plus two commissions. But my mind has cleared, I've paid for a huge commission for my game project, and I feel less dead inside.

I actually have three stories I've been working on. The middle one is finished, the third is half done, and the first nearly done. Once the first is finished, I'll release the second right alongside with it. So prepare for a bombardment of overdue content.
Flood of Work Posted 5 years ago
Good old pandemic has resulted in me being out of work and much of my town getting shut down. As a result I have pretty much nothing to do. So between bouts of gaming or programming, I will probably be posting pretty regularly.

That and I'll finish setting up some way to get payment so I can open commissions.
I Have a Query Posted 5 years ago
So, I'm not usually a fan of writing blogs, but I have a question. While I understand that I don't have a large audience, I have recieved a couple questions about my interest in commissions. I have been thinking about it, but didn't want to just spew up a bunch of rules and make it seem like I think that I'm better than I really am.

So I guess what I'm asking is what do any of you think about me and commissions? Should I? Am I good enough? Do you think there would be any interest?

Thanks in advance. I'm genuinely curious.
