My writing schedule info!

Alright, I realized that while I have talked a bit about it on the discord, it's better to have it collected here too. I am now officially a full time writer, though I also have to preface that I am starting that with travels and vacation. This is the first summer we have felt comfortable traveli...

Back from vacation, time for your questions!

Well, have had british friends over for vacation and travel, and then there was midsummer with all the associated parties so I have pretty much been offline for two weeks now, apart from checking news on twitter. So, this month's call for questions is a bit later than usual.

Hope you're doi...

1.2.2 Dignity is overrated

Fear [Ortega POV]

(Revelations, post crash, post talk with an innocent Sidestep in the hospital.)

Is it a nightmare if I'm not sleeping? Hell if I know, but every time I close my eyes, it comes back.

Second lore poll up!

Alright, since the "another view point of a scene from the game from another characters point of view" is winning handily, here is a follow up to see which character to focus on!

Lore poll time!

Since I am now finished with the Void series, I am thinking about what I will write for the lore section next time. The poll will have the major types of lore, but feel free to fill in any suggestions you want in the comments. I want to know what you are interested in! There might be another poll...

Time for this month's questions! Anything you fancy about the world, the story, people, my writing process, writing in general... have fun.

The Void 8 - Sidestep (finale)

Ortega's still breathing. It's a stupid compulsion needing to look to make sure, but you were always like that.

Time for your questions of the month!

Gimme your questions about game, process or writing in general. Now only a little more than a month left at work before I start writing full time, it is hectic, but the countdown has started.

It's going to be nice, I feel so filled with Revelations ideas.

1.2.4 In the air and regretting every second.

So, managed to work almost a full Saturday, though I was interrupted by phonecalls and making dinner. Not hyperfocus, just normal writing. Still, managed 9250 words in one sitting. Looks like 10 000 a day is easily doable. Nice to see my brain is recovering.

My brain is being bad due to oversocialising for several weeks in a row, but I managed to wrestle it into finally finishing this. Steel was hard to write, he turned out third person. Wouldn't let me in his head.
