Hey everyone,
Sorry I don't have a new chapter up yet, but I have good news!
I'm finally at a point where I can get back into the swing of things work-wise. Today was an exhausting day, though. I got two different deliver...
Now we have some color! The art is not done, but I love this so much I might make a poster or a print for my office.
Do you guys think I should start offering stuff like that for sale? I wouldn't make much money off it and it'd ...
Hey everyone!
The new office is a messy rat nest right now, but it'll come along. :) Luckily, after setting up the desktop, everything was still working. Yay. I've stripped down my UPS from the unit with a backup to just t...
Hey everyone,
I hope you are all staying safe. Melli and I have just moved, and I'm working right now using a camping chair, my laptop, and my phone as a hotspot. It's less than ideal.
Maybe I can share some pictures of t...
I really, really love this so far. What do you all think?

He had watched people turn into zombies before, so Jake immediately knew what was happening to him a few minutes later. His fingers hurt. He felt hot, feverish, and wanted to lie down. With a heavy heart, he ignored ...

Jake ran for a really long time, so long and so fast he created enough distance sometimes to hide and circulate his ki. There was a limit to how many times he could do this, and he not only got diminishing returns, the ability a...

Jake mechanically cupped his hand under the drip of water in the cave and patiently waited for at least a small pool to form before taking a drink. Then he repeated the process. He’d made this place his regular lair beca...

The horizon seemed to turn. One moment Jake and his team had been on earth, and the next, the sky was dark, with a chill wind. There was barely enough light to see by, but it was red-hued, and shadows moved in the distance...
2020-03-21 02:53:37 +0000 UTC View PostYou might have noticed by now that I'm writing with a different narrative style than I usually use. Honestly, it's been a lot of fun to experiment with.

Jake was trying to hide it, but he was beginn...
Okay guys, this is what I've been working on in my free time for a while. It's heavily influenced by Wuxia/Xianxia, Shadowrun, and a bunch of other stuff.
I'm not going to tell you that much about it, just keep editing and posting chap...
2020-03-20 23:38:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
First off, I'm going to be deleting old FS2 posts...because I forgot to do so before.
oops.
Second, I finally have the formatting for print FS2 books, so I'm going to be putting that together, and ordering copies ...
Right now there is a lot going on. I'm still writing, just slowly. Hopefully there will be a new chapter out either today or tomorrow.
I appreciate that you've all been patient. At least I haven't gotten any angry pms abou...
Art has begun on my secret project, the story I've been writing in my free time. It's going slowly because I don't have much free time. :) I'm going to post a few chapters at once fairly soon.
I am in the process of moving, so e...
This blog took me a while to write, because I kept writing from the heart, but I felt like some of what I was saying was too cliche or cheesy. It was probably fine, and all the flaws were probably all in my head, but sometimes the words don'...

Hey everyone! The final word count for First Song 2 is right around 120k words, so it's a pretty large book.
I'm sending the compiled manuscript off to the editor today! I'm making some last minute edits right now. Thank y...
Honestly, this is getting lit af. I didn't even exactly ask for this exact piece or composition, but now I know it's what I needed. lol
Thirsty and Honey are two additions.
This is the rough draft of some awesome new art I've commissioned from the very, very talented Alyssa Leber!
I'm really looking forward to how she finishes this one off.
Hi!
This is a heads up that I already have another chapter of First Song 2 done, but I really want to have both ending chapters complete before I post so I can put them both up at the same time.
After that, I will need a day or two t...
*I have a question for First Song 2 readers at the end

Hey folks!
I'm taking off a couple days to handle personal stuff because I've been all-in with work for a while. Realistically, I'll probably go back on...

Hey everyone, I feel like I don't say this enough, but at the same time, I don't want to say it so often that anyone feels I don't mean it.
Thank you for being here.
Some new folks have just joined too, and I want to remind everyone ...
I have been working since 2am on taxes today. It's currently 10am my time.
Believe it or not, tax stuff has been quicker and easier than ever this year for me to get my hands around, and I have some advice to pass along to current or ...

Gift #3, I got an exercise bike with a desk so I can literally work while I'm working out!
First off, you all are insanely generous and supportive. Second, this is a game changer. At least every few days lately, I've had ...
Gift #2, I got a sharpener!
One of you crazy Bastards sent me a Wicked Edge, and damn this thing is just...awesome. I can't wait to really learn how to use it! This system is one of the kings of the non-motorized sharpening syst...
Someone sent me a mouse! You know who you are, and thank you so much!
I had actually bought a really shitty ergonomic mouse a while ago because the writing was on the wall about carpal tunnel and other wrist injuries. I'm...
This is for the super generous folks out there who want me to post this. You know who you are.
If you decide to send me anything on the list, please let me know if you think I should share the gift with the group.
