Editing Has Begun

I want to remind anyone looking for new chapters that I’m currently working through a revision of past chapters. Chapters 1-3 have been reviewed with minor edits made. Chapters 4-6 will be next. For the record, I feel the beginning chapters won’t need as much work as those in the 15-30 range, but I want to give everything a once over. This way I will also have a fully edited single document…

Project Review RfS

After four months of writing my serial story, I’ve decided to look back and evaluate whether this project was a success or not. My serial story (Resurrection for Sale) had two goals: Get me to write a little something every day. Tell me if what I write is any good/interesting (aka collet readers). Writing Daily As for goal #1, I do write but it’s not every day. While I’ve been able to keep…

Healed

I have the full use of my hand again, which means I’m going to attempt to return to my original posting schedule. Additionally, I think I’m going to go ahead with a piece of fanfiction I’ve been tinkering on. I plan on posting it to AO3 once I have a couple chapters ironed out. It will be from the Labyrinth universe (The Henson film).

Injury

Looks like I’m going to have to cut back on my posting schedule for a more serious reason. I recently injured my hand. Thankfully, it was not my dominant hand, but it’s still going to make typing a pain in the rear. Chapter 40 will be posted on Friday the 25th of April and expect Chapter 41 on Friday the 2nd of May. On a side note, this might actually be a good time to go back to some art since…

The Call of Other Ideas

I have a serious problem. I have more ideas than I have time or energy to write. While I don’t want to let go of my current serial after nearly 6 months of writing, I’m very tempted to cut back on my dedication so I can work on other projects. Those projects include a short story I have put on hold, a work of fanfiction I’ve been dying to start, and the side stories for RfS that might help me…

Happy World Book Day!

My original fiction Resurrection for Sale has now hit 25 Chapters and over 35k words.

I so want to add a "How am I doing?" poll but I haven't found the courage yet. Working my way up to it.

Possible Side Stories

As my first month of posting Resurrection for Sale slowly comes to an end, I’ve been considering the idea of posting side stories on this blog. There are plenty of little moments that happen offstage that are only referenced in dialog – one example is when Titus first meets Lia. Those moments could easily be a little short story all their own, and if there’s any interest, I might flesh those out…

How do you manage to screw things up when you've already written a month's worth of story?

You publish a chapter out of order.

Ugh. Thankfully I looked back and noticed, but I wish someone had commented and told me. I would have fixed it a lot sooner.

It's good!!!

❤️ On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder

“In politics, being deceived is no excuse.”

—Leszek Kołakowski

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

In 2017, after the USA presidential election of 2016, Timothy Snyder wrote a small book (only 126 pages) on how to spot tyranny and fascism, how to fight it, and what we need yo continue to do everyday when living under tyrannical rule.

Now, in 2024-2025, we’re in the shithouse again. I’ll admit, I’ve been panicked, I’ve been despairing, and depressed. This book has helped me ground myself into the present and take a look at what I can do and how I can process what’s happening around me. Timothy Snyder is very poignant in his writing, not afraid to call out and reference those in power. I’d recommend everyone read this book and take a look at how we can get up, brush ourselves off, and move forward.

“One thing is certain: If young people do not begin to make history, politicians of eternity and inevitability will destroy it. And to make history, young Americans will have to know some. This is not the end, but a beginning.”
