Sitting alone in his house Warner was contemplating what to do.
He knew what he wanted to do, but he had no idea how to go about it. The most violent thing he’d ever done in his life was a fight in high-school that ended in a strange wrestling match.
For much of his life Warner had avoided conflict.
There just wasn’t any room for it in his life.
Then again, would I even have married Asa if I’d been more confrontational? She kind of ran the ...

Alright. Remnant 2 is going live across the the time-zones as we roll.
As I always ask, and this matters a lot, please go share the news that Remnant 2 is dropped with all those lovely groups out there that might be interested.
Please leave a review for the book if you liked it as well. Those are super important.
Well... here we go.

Sorry for the late notice, but we'll be pushing today's broadcast to tomorrow due to unforeseen circumstances.
My apologies everyone.
I'll load two chapters today as an apology :)

Ashley Sheng let out a slow breath through his nose. Lifting his face to the ceiling he closed his eyes and wondered, not for the first time, why he was still here.
He could always just go home.
Home to his parents and become a rogue cultivator and live his own life for himself.
Just him, his parents, his sister.
“Don’t forget Moira and Tala,” Lock said, the ever present reminder and annoyance. “Chosen One.”
He could...

Tomorrow, from 12pm-3pm MST, we'll be live writing on twitch.
We'll be writing chapter 8 of Cultivating Chaos 2.
The votes in poll decided they wanted to see whatever we were at with Cultivating Chaos 2. The week after this live write will be another, on Friday, from 3-6.
The time will likely remain 3pm-6pm MST going forward after tomorrow.
We'll probably be doing chapter 14 or so live of Cultivating Chaos 2. So there will be a 4-7 chapter difference.

So, the live writing Tier was met, now it's time to figure out how we do this.
The guardian's are currently voting on the day of the week and the time, everyone else will assist in voting on -what- we're doing.
So, pick an option below, and we'll start this up either later this week, or Monday of next week.
Please understand we cannot live write Randi Darren novels. It's a pity, but that's the way it is.
The last option is something diffe...

Well shit.
You all hit the tier goal way faster than I expected so... guess we'll be doing some live writing once a week.
Maybe we'll figure out a book that we only write during the stream that way people can feel they're always on board.
Maybe we just pick up where I'm at in Cultivating Chaos 2.
Figure out something I suppose.

Someone asked what Series Pins are. I realized I hadn't actually talked about them in quite some while.
These are only available to those who signed up for them when I first announced them something like a year ago, and as tier rewards.
They're actual pins with clasp backings. Think disneyland pins.
There is one for every series at this point.
Here's a few pictures as examples.

Warin shifted his foot to the left and then leaned away as the blade of his opponent flashed out.
The tip whistled past Warin’s breastplate but missed him by a scant inch. Much as Warin predicted it would.
Sliding his right foot forward, but never lifting it from the ground, he executed a thrust aimed toward his opponents midsection.
Moving with the lunge, pushing his heavy blade to it’s full length, Warin caught them dead center. His blade neatly part...

Amelia watched Alex open and close his hands several times.
Holding up his left hand, he generated a ball of fire and then began to make it move around the carriage interior.
A minute after having been given the ability to utilize magic, with fire as his element, Alex was moving straight towards full mastery.
“He’s amazing,” Rike said in a breathy voice. “I’m reading his thoughts as he figures it out. I can barely keep up. He’s already making p...

“Fake, fake. Fake. It’s all a lie,” mumbled Claire as she stumbled onward.
Somehow she’d managed to not die in the fall. She wasn’t quite sure what had happened, but she remembered hitting the treetops.
Then the ground. Her leg had broken, and her foot looked like it was facing the wrong way.
Her baby had landed atop her, completely unharmed.
Not that any of it mattered.

Peering down the lane, she wasn’t quite sure what to think of everything.
Her first visit here had been a long time ago. It had been little more than a military enclave back then.
It’d even been called Fort One. Now she saw banners everywhere. The city had adopted the patently obvious lack of creativity Felix was known for.
“Legion Prime City, postal office,” she said aloud, staring at the front of a stone building’s display.

Taylor wasn’t sure what to think about the situation. Her experience with humanoids and their customs had been limited to what happened when she attacked them.
Which usually resulted in a lot of begging as she ate her fill of them and released the rest when she couldn’t eat anymore.
Everything with and about Vince had thrown all her lazy plans and selfish desires out the window. Now her days were spent lazily waiting for something to happen, or for Vince to ...

“Doubt it. Humans in general wouldn’t accept it. They’d probably call them crazy. Dunno. Maybe I bring them here? I’m sure I’ll figure something out,” Runner explained with a grin.
“He’s not wrong, is he?” the goddess asked, looking across at her companion.
Nadine turned her eyes to the goddess.
She was hard to pin down as anything other than “motherly”, or at least Nadine felt so. She looked like anyones mom. A touch heavy, matronly,...

Alright.
The Patreon page has been changed/updated.
New tiers, new goals, new direction.
We're heading into the conflict zone of the Sovereign-Verse as the war becomes ever more visible.
The old tiers will still function, and will not be deleted. They're just unpublished. You're welcome to remain as those if you so choose.

Hey folks!
So, the Patreon page needs some updating. You're going to see a number of changes this weekend.
With any luck it'll help move us along and keep us rolling.
I've also finally, FINALLY, started moving on the pins. You might get an email or two about them if you were part of the original list.
Once we finish off that list and that batch, we'll see about making more pins if there's still interest in them.
Oh, I'm also going to try not redacting any of t...

“Ah, the little brat’s awake,” a shadowed man said from the doorway.
Another silhouette passed in front of the first one to come over to Rene.
He couldn’t quite make out details as the light from the hallway was doing a fair job of blinding him. He’d been in the dark too long for any type of light to do much good for him.
“Behave. Don’t do anything stupid,” hissed the man. Reaching behind Rene the man cut his bonds and then turned and walke...

Rene let his eyes rove over the walls and decorations that were spread throughout the office. Simple tapestries and strange odds and ends for the most part. A single portrait on a far wall of someone in a headmasters attire. Other than that it looked like any other office you could expect. Desk, chairs, cabinets.
Only feudal in nature.
Rene flexed his muscles and tried to keep himself from stiffening up in the chair. He’d lived as a normal person since being r...

- End of the Beginning -
Rene tilted his head to one side as the security guard crossed in front of him. Lifting his pistol up but keeping it close to his body, he lazily rested the rear sights on the back of the guards head.
He wasn’t much further than ten yards away. The shot would be easy.
Boring.
Tracking the guard as he made his circuit Rene had to fight against the inner impulse to pull the trigger.
Pull it. Pull it. Pull it...

Hello.
I wasn't really happy with where Survivor was going. So I brought out something from the warehouse. Anti Hero, the story of Rene.
I gave it two passes in editing to bring it up to my current writing style, and shifted some of the story around. I also modified the chapter length extensively.
This story will be taking the place of survivor going forward, which is going into the warehouse for a time.
That's the risk I run when I let my muse dictate what gets writte...

Scratching at his cheek, Steve stared down at the knee deep water below him. The water wasn’t deep enough to have made creep witches unfortunately.
They’d simply become corpses and remained there.
It was unfortunate, but in the same breath, he didn’t have a way to control them if he made them creep witches.
The positive he could give to this one was he’d learned something.
To make a creep witch, they have to be completely submerged.<...
