Ryan (MCMXIV)

Let's Start a Stickers Club

Hello, and welcome to the inaugural meeting of the Third Eye Merch Club. I'm your club head headsman, Ryan Heads, man.

Yes, we're starting the merch club and for our first production, we're starting with both a sticker sheet, and including every paid member of the Patreon. Later it'll only be those who rise above to the challenge of paying ten dollars a month. I felt you guys deserve to get a little something for the many years you've stuck with me and given me your three dolars. c:

The Break return post

Okay I'm back.

I took July to not work and do things I like to relax after finishing the first draft of book 3. Those relaxing activities included starting on the next draft anyway and coming up with things I wanna do this month. Such is the way of a writing type guy, I guess?

Anyhow, here's a post where I talk about those things I thought about and did last month.

I spent a lot of last month making things for to other people. I did a couple (2! (two more than last ye...

Book 3, Epilogue II Early Access

The final piece of book 3, finally available!

That's it! I'm finally done with this draft of the prose!

From here, I'll be finishing the recording of that audiobook, and then taking a bit to rest before I work on hammering out the next draft, and then making final revisions for the public release!

Book 3, Epilogue I Early Access

Because I've already shown this one, I decided, why not? Let's post this as a freebie.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 27 Early Access

Things will never be the same.

The final chapter of Book 3! It took a minute to get the ending of the bar scene just right, but I finally got there. Now all that's left are the two epilogues and I'm done with this draft of the manuscript.

Once that's done and I finish recording the audio for an audiobook for Book 1, I'll be taking a short break before I do the many, many edits I plan on making to Book 3 and then releasing it publicly.

If you have any notes or thought...

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 26 Early Access

The only winning move was...

uh...

I'll get back to you when I figure that out.

Second to last chapter! After the next, we've only got the two Epilogues to go!

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 25 Early Access

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but demons aren't real. I know, big bummer.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 24 Early Access

It's not about winning, it's about making the opponent understand they lost three days ago.

Only about three more chapters to go and two epilogues left. Then once the next round of edits and a grammar, spelling, and syntax check, we'll be done with book 3!

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 23 Early Access

This is a chapter about risotto.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 21 Early Access

You can solve any interpersonal problem with enough distractions and hoping they get too tired to keep making an ass of themselves.

Third Eye Book 3: Chapter 20 Early Access

It's always important to build social cred and make friends so you don't lose everything you have when all the spaghetti falls out your pants in front of everyone at work.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 19

Chickens in the demon world are 90% bones, 5% feathers, 2% beak, 2.5% organs, and .1% skin. The remaining percentage is a mystery, but scientists are pretty sure it's hatred.

Sorry I missed putting up chapters last week, I was busy moving and getting adjusted to living in a place that doesn't make the word "S L U D G E" run through my head every time I look outside. We'll be back to the regular schedule of me trying to put out two chapters a week.

We're also entering the final thi...

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 18 Early Access

The upper crust is no better than the lower crust if all the crust is from FartBaker farms.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 17 Early Access

They say money can't buy happiness, but if I could buy tickets to a sloth encounter at the zoo right now, I'd be shitting with joy.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 16 Early Access

Who made golf?

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 15 Early Access

Just two guys in a closet. Just two guys and a lady in a closet. Just two guys, and a lady in a closet at work. What could go wrong!?

Kind of a lot, but in a completely different way.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 14 Early Access

Do you believe in ghosts? What about computer ghosts?

What about computer ghosts that work for rude, cringe ass computer trolls?

I think that was what that movie "Fear dot com" was about.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 13 Early Access

You can't act like a child here, this is a serious adult book for grown ups. I haven't even made a single poop joke, I think?

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 12 Early Access

Nick's week was spent in proximity to a new IT contractor brought on to save Innova from a catastrophe.

She seems cool.

I'm gonna try to start doing two chapters a week to speed up the release date so I'm not putting this thing out six months down the line. I'd like to have a rough draft of book 4 done by the end of this year if I can.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 11

Selena receives a most intriguing offer from an even more intriguing demon. Normally, nobody, not even demons should take offers from demons, but this one seems chill. Mostly. They didn't start the conversation with bodily harm or throwing things, so I think they're coo.l.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 10

What celebrities have you met in real life? How much bigger or smaller were they than you thought they'd be?

Today, you will meet Des'Bell. You should count yourself very, very lucky. Because now, depending on their impression of you, you're either going to be the coolest person demons will think about for the next month, or the one they'll be throwing up on when they meet you in the streets. So you better be on your best behavior.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 9 Early Access

Is this one mine or ten? I don't remember...
Anyway, Tangrath's home from his business trip. He's come to her Selena involved in something whether she likes it or not.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 8 Early Access

Monica and Tess seem like good friends. Because they are. This is the one situation where two women of present, but different levels of sapphic-ness are actually just good friends.

This is another one where I feel as though parts still need a lot of work, specifically the conflict's resolution. I'm not sure if I described what the lesson the two of them take away from this is clearly, or if I did, if I worded it in a way that's effective, or meshes with the earlier chapters. In any case...

Book 3, Chapter 7 Early Access

Improv is a fun and engaging activity where you have fun with your friends and aren't judged!

Unless you are trying to actually become the role you're playing. Then it becomes a game of life-or-death stakes that will ruin you forever if you drop character once. You better yes-and your ass off, you sorry son of a bitch.

Book 3, Chapter 6 Early Access

Happy New Year! Enjoy this new chapter from book 3, and always remember to be yourself this year! And if you can't be yourself, maybe you can be a princess.

Book 3, Chapter 5 Early Access

Your presence is requested by the illustrious and bootyful, Squish Bimbly. Failure to appear will result in her goons coming to your house and feeding you to the printing press.

Third Eye, Book 3: Chapter 4

Now would be a good time as any to let you all know there are only like five named characters in "Third Eye" that aren't pan.

This chapter was pretty hard for me to get right, and there's still definitely room for improvement. Comments are enabled on the doc, so feel free to leave them there. Or here. Both are good.

Third Eye Book 3, Chapter 3

Monica's so cool. Except that one time she wasn't, but actually was.

It's been a tough November, so I've been busy doing other things that ate into writing time, but now I'm free of those and kind of relying on this stuff. Most of my schedule will be focused on writing for the foreseeable future.
