It is so, so nice to type those words again.
Hello, my dears! Long time no see. It means a lot to me to see so many of you still here π
A quick note about Patreon: I am going to be restarting the billing cycle starting next month, now that we're finally back ...
2024-04-29 23:32:01 +0000 UTC View PostI was really hopeful that I would get the update uploaded tonight, but I don't expect to be home in time to do so before it's technically April. I'll try to get it up this weekend, gods willing and the creek don't rise. I've paused the April billing cycle, so you won't be charged while you wait π...

I'm in the process of being snowed in right now, but thankfully my house is nice and warm and I have nowhere I need to be. I have to say, spending time working on a story that currently takes place on a tropical paradise planet has been a really nice escape fro...

This is my last weekly update of 2021! This has been a very successful year for me on a personal level, but at the same time it has been... awful, on a global level. I will not mourn it when it's gone. 2022 better be on its best behavior.

hello and happy Tuesday!
I've been given the all clear to start writing again! Well, as long as I limit myself and don't overdo it again. That won't be a problem this week, since it's Thanksgiving week, and with my kid home from school I won't have much time to write anyway π

my wrist has recovered enough that I'm allowed to write again (in a limited capacity), but I wasn't able to get far enough to get a less-weird stopping place for the update, so I left it where it was. there will be some RO scenes coming up immediately after the current ending, s...

Unsurprisingly, I didn't get much done this week, since I'm not allowed to write until my wrist is healed (it doesn't hurt anymore, but I'm supposed to give it a couple more days anyway). I have been taking notes, however - some in voice-to-text and some on paper si...

So I had to slow down my writing a bit this week. It turns out, there is a limit on how productive I can be, and if that limit is crossed... I get tendonitis in my wrist π oops. But before that, I got a lot done, both writing and coding!
