Whew. Okay, slowly getting this set up. Will be good to do some writing tomorrow, though won't have my usual grammar checker up yet. Fun times!
2024-02-01 09:44:52 +0000 UTC View PostSo, some catch-up.
My PC's boot drive died. It got wobbly at first, cutting out and blue screening, or just not detecting on power up. I ordered a replacement at the first sign of problems, and that should arrive tomorrow. Then, just when I was hopeful that the old one would last the duration--it died completely.
This will mean that I am probably going to spend tomorrow installing Windows, software, configuring backups (and retrieving things from backups) for...

The end of the delve into the infested warren. Who will survive? Who will die? Will they reach the bottom?
2024-01-11 15:36:53 +0000 UTC View Post
Only five more chapters and we're at a good, round number! Woooooo!
2024-01-04 13:02:08 +0000 UTC View PostI like to keep you all abreast of where I'm at and what might impact my writing, so here goes.
First, internet connection. On the 25th Dec, my net died dramatically and hasn't come back. There is no ETA at this moment and I'm burning data on my phone to manage what presence I can.
Second, November (at least the parts not dominated by a painful thumb operation) revealed something that I need to spend a little more time focused on: me time. In the coming months, I will be slowly red...

Aaaand we're back into the swing of things. First up, more dungeon delving!
2023-12-28 13:21:46 +0000 UTC View PostNo chapter this week. Taking a little break for the holidays. I will be working on more over the weekend, have no fear!

Back to the dungeon! Using this ordering to show that these events are not happening at the same time, but they are happening in the same time period.

Well, people wanted to see the first direct interaction between Pen and Liz.
2023-11-30 15:33:44 +0000 UTC View PostJust a heads-up as we head into the new month.

Heh, actually swapped order around a little here. There was meant to be another chapter of Katie and Anichka, but I wanted to show that this little event was going on. Some action and banter as adventure calls!

Over to Anichka and Tammy for the next chapter!

Thumb is on the mend. I managed to get 500 words down today, and even did some programming yesterday.
My next project, code-wise, will be something to help me find duplicated words. I think a few of you will like to see that issue gone.

Eliza tries to make a Sense Motive roll, and fails.
Haven't managed any writing this week. I have another 2 chapters in buffer, so I can wait another week if my thumb needs it.
2023-11-02 03:45:27 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, moving things up a little. Just had surgery on my left thumb, and it has a huge bandage on it, as well as I will be taking painkillers and am meant to be resting it. Everything is fine, but I can't type all that well right now.

A slight change of pace here. With peace comes new faces and new opportunities.
Also, a new chance to build my buffer back up after all those HUUUUGE chapters.
2023-10-26 15:46:33 +0000 UTC View PostWhat's going on? Why is the mad word-wizard spilling stream of consciousness into my email box?
As with previous years, I will be taking a break over December. Therefore, I will pause my Patreon. What does this mean?
1. You won't be billed for December.
2. I will be working on non-commission stories (read: mostly The Heart Grows) only.
3. I am going to be retooling! Out with Windows, in with Linux. Probably.
4. Some programming, some relaxing, some writing.
5. If...
There is possibly a lot more story to tell here. Kaz is not exactly done with the school, and there are plenty of opportunities for more godly shenanigans, but this is a good stopping point for this story.
