I write about 4-6 hours every day, and then I spend 2-4 hours either handling the business end of things (advertising, newletters, mailing stuff out, answering emails, etc.). I typically write between midnight and 6am, and I don...

Hey guys!
This was originally part of Zaxis's short story, but I deleted it because it didn't connect well with the rest? It's just him interacting with Illia (there's some thematic connection, but not much) so I ended up removing it. A friend of mine said it was his favorite part, however,...

With time running out, you decide to search for the mysterious mischief maker.
You crawl over the rocks, making your way to the other side of the cove, where you saw the fake leviathan exit the water. It’s mostly easy going, until you come to a large boulder. Fortunately, you packed rope ...
