  • Surviving the storm

    My last update was on June 23rd.  A lot has happened since then. Infinity’s Heir is the main reason I haven’t posted an update in so long, but Missing Parts played a role, as well. Let me explain. I posted back in May that Infinity’s Heir was done. I immediately…

  • Flash Fiction Prompt – ‘Heat’, ‘Summer’, and ‘Yellow’ (1000 words max)

    Note: This work was submitted as part of an informal monthly competition at the writing site that I frequent. It won that month’s competition! Further, I’m already working on an outline for a full MS centered around Aiko and Fletcher.  The Octavius Job (995 words) – written 7/27/2016 Adjusting the…

  • “Sunshine Blog” Q&A Thingy

    I know I promised massive amounts of E3 posting this week, but I’ve been too busy drowning in Overwatch and gawking at game footage to even think about composing something halfway decent for anyone who happens across my blog. Rest assured, however, that a massive post is coming. In the…

  • Flash Fiction Prompt – And Then She/He Rose Up (500 words max)

    Phoenix (492 words) – written 5/20/2016 She flexed the artificial hand, squinted at it with fake eyes in a fake skull. Her thoughts raced within a fake brain. Her whole body, every last bit of it, was new – manufactured. She flexed the limb again, could feel it as if…

  • Flash Fiction Prompt – Gloss (250 words max)

    The Traitor (250 words) – written 5/17/2016 The traitor stood before the king, iron shackles binding his arms and legs. Guards stood at his shoulders, blades already drawn, tips wavering near the floor, ready for the slightest twitch from the prisoner. The King looked down on the man, but felt…

  • Flash Fiction Prompt – Star Light (100 words max)

    The Dark (100 words) – written 5/10/2016 I remember when we lived on the ship – when there was no sun to warm us during the day and no light to miss at night. That was a strange time. My parents tried their best to fill the moments without light,…

  • Infinity’s Heir Complete!

    After spending a massive amount of time writing in April, Infinity’s Heir is finished! The first draft of the manuscript is 93,601 words and composed of 32 chapters (and an Epilogue). Finishing Infinity’s Heir was extremely satisfying. Since writing the outline for the story, I wanted to see the work finished.…

  • Gains!

    Infinity’s Heir is almost done! For some reason, the drive to write stuck in April and over the course of the month, I managed to write a grand total of 52,654 words! This means that the current total word count of the MS is 83,646. That’s an exciting number! Now…

  • Quick Update

    Haven’t posted in a while, but that’s because I’ve been really busy writing. April was a crazy productive month and I’m pretty happy about all of the gains I’ve made. Expect to see the full details here in a day or two! Hope everyone is doing alright and thanks again…

  • Flash Fiction Prompt – Karma (150 words max)

    In a Name (150 words) – written 4/11/2016 “Why that name?” Kheif smiled. “It’s poetic, don’t you think?” “Poetic?” “Oh, yes.” The smile widened. “”The word Karma specifically refers to destiny as a result of some cause. I find it fitting that someone – anyone – who breaks the law…
