Iorweth Morgan couldn’t sleep. Little surprise, there; he hadn’t been able to sleep well for a long time. This was worse than usual, however. This wasn’t the normal insomnia where he trudged through a stupor of guilt and regret, the kind which his love would soothe away with a heartfelt, loving embrace as they lied in their bed together. N...

Chains. Chains into Pari’s soul. Sofie had been sure the worst of her nightmare was past her. She’d felt the geasa release from Pari’s soul when she’d said the magic words. It had been the strongest sensation she’d felt from any one person as well, there could have been no mistak...

I plan on rewriting the entire story once I finish with the first run, but I hate chapters 1-5 so much that I've been rewriting them during off days when I'm not writing the latest chapter. It's been slow going, but I finally finished Chapter 1. I already posted i...

So yeah, vote for your favorite charac...
2021-07-17 23:16:07 +0000 UTC View PostFinished the first draft of 108 on the plane yesterday. 25,789 words, the new record by about 4000 words. I am currently at my editor's house on vacation and will do my best to tie him to a chair until he edits it and we can revise it and get it out in the next few days. Soon!
2021-05-11 18:50:28 +0000 UTC View Post17 votes total, 16 for waiting for the full chapter. The people have spoken, and they speak in tongues. As an update, I sent most of the already "finished" sections to DemiImp. He will try to start editing them tomorrow or during the weekend. Meanwhile, the chapter is now over 15000 words long and will more likely than no...
2021-04-30 03:33:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! As I continue to write this chapter, the chapter continues to grow. It's over 11,000 words now, and, by my (admittedly bad) estimate, I now think the low end for final word count will be 17000. On the high end, we might be looking at the new record for longest chapter (current record, 20,939 words).
I feel guilty...
2021-04-26 04:32:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everybody. You I'm sure you're all wondering what's up with the next chapter, given the whole "I'm back and going to write" thing I posted a few weeks ago. I had hoped to have 108 out by now, but a few things happened. There were a few family emergencies that popped up. Both ended up being minor and aren't a big deal...
2021-04-24 04:29:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody! I was planning on coming back from vacation on the 11th (since I started my month of vacation on the 11th of March) but I missed you all so much that I'm going to start writing early. It will be a little tough, but I'm going to try for 2 chapters this month.
Speaking of vacations, though... I'm actually going to ...

2021-02-20 00:50:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody! I'm sure you're all wondering where 106 is. Well, the answer is that I finished the third rewrite/revision a few days ago, just in time for DemiImp to encounter technical issues keeping him from editing. It's basically ready to post, but I don't feel right posting it without getting their edits first.

2021-01-27 03:13:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody. Figured I would give you a second update.
So, a few hours after my last post, I got a kidney stone! It was the best, by which I mean it was incredibly painful and I spent some time in the hospital. Needless to say, this did not help my work on 105. The good news is that I did finally manage to get the...
2021-01-22 23:35:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody...
Just wanted to give an update on how 105 is coming along. So, it's been a rough start to 2021, both in general and for me. Between the slow crumbling of civil society in my country and a few personal issues, I've found it very very hard to concentrate on this chapter, and so progress has been very slow. N...

Well, I finally managed to crank out the first draft last week, maybe a week behind schedule, but Demi hasn't managed to look at it yet. He's busy moving, you see. Which mean that, yes, 20 days into the month, it doesn't look like we'll get more than 1 chapter out this mont...
2020-11-21 00:45:50 +0000 UTC View PostDue to stuff like the election, I haven't been able to concentrate or sleep properly for the whole week. Haven't been able to get any writing done. Combine that with DemiImp (my editor pal) moving, and writing speed for this chapter has been slow. I'll do my best to crank something out but just a heads up that it will likely be...
