Haven't updated this in a bit. There are 11 chapters now, just over 120 pages, so if you want free reading, it's there! I also uploaded a recap of the first 5 chapters if you want to skip the beginning bit and get to the sci-fi. Enjoy! www.royalroad.com/fiction/9501... #author #sci-fi #fantasy

Who I am instead. #pizza #cook #kitchen #restaurant

A follow up. Made it a little further into the book, listening to the main character complain for the sake of complaining, apparently, because they took no action to fix their problems. Then, they come out with some "mothers are stronger than women who have not given birth" shit, and I closed it.

Apropos of the book I am currently reading: don't write a character that spends the first half of the book complaining about their life. That isn't compelling character development. It's ok to have a down day. It's ok to bitch and complain about it. But please consider the reader :) #books #reading

New Extinction World chapter is up! Chapter 7 - The One In Which A Judgement Is Passed Super excited about this one! www.royalroad.com/fiction/9501... #author #sci-fi #fantasy #writingcommunity

Just watched Juror #2. Gotta say, not a fan. The premise and cast were wasted on a lackluster execution. There was a good film in there, somewhere, but the writing and directing weren't right for what it was trying to do. Also, not near enough screen time for J. K. Simmons. #film #movie

I greatly overestimated the amount of berry compote I needed for breakfast this morning, and I have a half gallon of it left... Not sure what I'm gonna do with it, but it's gonna be delicious :) #baking #cooking #dessert #fuckinfrenchtoast

Extinction World Interlude and Chapter 5 are up for your reading pleasure. Give them a perusal at your holiday leisure, if that's your thing. Happy Holidays! www.royalroad.com/fiction/9501... #writingcommunity #author #fantasy #sci-fi #LitRPG

I think spellchecker's "Add to dictionary" might be the greatest lie the devil ever told.

Oh boy, time to reread and edit what I wrote at 4am. I'm sure it will be completely normal and well thought out. #author #fantasy #sci-fi #writingcommunity

Final update of the day So far: ✔️Garm & List: Chapter 3 -- UPLOADED! ✔️Extinction World: Interlude -- Done and will upload tomorrow. ✔️Extinction World: Chapter 5 -- Draft done, but ended at 4k words, 2x my plan. I'm toast. I'll edit tomorrow. #author #fantasy #sci-fi #amwriting #writingcommunity

Second update So far: ✔️Garm & List: Chapter 3 -- UPLOADED! ✔️Extinction World: Interlude -- Done and will upload tomorrow. This was actually a lot harder than I expected to get the tone I liked. Next up: ▫️Extinction World: Chapter 5 #author #fantasy #sci-fi #amwriting #writingcommunity

Ok, update time. So far: ✔️Garm & List: Chapter 3 -- UPLOADED! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1011... Next up: ▫️Extinction World: Interlude ▫️Extinction World: Chapter 5 #author #fantasy #sci-fi #amwriting #writingcommunity

I have an unprecedented 4 days off in a ROW! So, that means it's writing time! Daily goals at ~6k clean words. 1k chapter warm-up with Garm & List, then 2 ~2k chapters for Extinction World. Today: ▫️Garm & List: Chapter 3 ▫️Extinction World: Interlude ▫️Extinction World: Chapter 5

The finish of the wrist rest on my desk is fading because of how much time I spend writing. This gives me a warm sense of accomplishment.

Needed to get some practice in with shorter, sub-1000 word, chapters. Well, I like what I wrote enough to throw it up on Royal Road. So, if you want a weird buddy comedy version of Sliders with a Wizard and a Pixie, that you can read in, like, 4 minutes... #writingcommunity #fantasy #sci-fi #author

The amount of times I get popped for using UK spelling is absurd. I'm sorry, US, but Traveler should have TWO Ls. #writingcommunity #author #sci-fi #fantasy
