Something odd happened the other day. I woke up slightly ahead of the alarm clock. As I lay half-dozing, a scene played out in my head with William. There was even detailed logical technobabble on the nature of m...

2020-02-29 09:38:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe story of William's exile continues.
You also get to see what happens when what started out as a minor narrative mouthpiece character takes on a life of their own. Once I found her dialect and voice, she pretty much wrote herself. 2020-01-30 21:45:54 +0000 UTC View Post
Well, the holidays have not been fun with entropy taking its toll on my life. (Broken beds and broken teeth, oh my!) But that's what we have escapism for, right?
William is back in the sequel to Viridian Awakening, and things have gone from ...

Please let me know if it did the same for you.. and no, William's story is far from over.

Here is the latest update. I had to delay as much as I could this month, not due to writer's block or editor's ennui, but because of little uric acid crystals deciding that my wrists were their new favorite hangout. 2019-04-30 17:17:41 +0000 UTC View Post
