Magic Notebook - The Free Use Fucktoy

Continuing the new take on Sophia. I like the direction the story is heading better than the last one. Current heading gives me a good excuse to explore several types of characters, as well as the ...

Augur: Blood and Bargains

I've finished the latest round of revisions from my editor. Most of it focuses on the first couple of chapters, which- fair enough. A lot of that hadn't been edited much past my first draft, and I ...

Master of One - Chapters 7 and 8

As I've been writing, I've been making some adjustments to some characters based on how they work out in any given scene. The result is that I'm going to have to go back and update some dialogue in...

Dark Path Chapter 1

Following on the new prologue, this is intended to give a slightly tighter and more action-filled narrative. I like this version of Abigail better - dumb Abby didn't give me anything to play off of...

Dark Path - Prologue

I had an idea for a slight reframing of the story to add some more depth. This is the first step I'll need to take in turning it into something worth writing, but I like the way it's shaping up bet...

Magic Notebook - The Aftermath

This is mostly a bridge chapter, showing how Dan is reacting to things, as well as taking us towards the next arc.

Master of One - Chapters 5 and 6

I think I may have missed a chapter upload because of the way Scrivener is labeling them. It's treating the prologue as chapter 1, so the later chapters are all one number off.

I'm updating t...

Quick Blog Post

Just posting so I don't go too long without uploading anything. I've come up with a new storyline I want to weave into MoO that's going to require a little planning. I'm probably going to put the v...

Master of One - Chapter 4

Doing a little more to introduce some of the characters and relationships. The goal here is to establish:

• That monsters are a thing

• That the Siulori are competent adven...

Magic Notebook - The Spirit

So, I already posted one 'The Spirit', but after getting through my first draft of the next chapter, I feel like the title fits this one better. I renamed the old 'The Spirit' Chapter to 'Escalatio...

Master of One - Chapter 3

Same idea as before - rewriting the same basic events with slightly different pacing and perspective as I try to find the right balance.

Master of One - Prologue, 1, 2

As I'm moving through different drafts of the story, I'm experimenting with different approaches to conveying the information, thoughts, and world building that I want to get across. The first vers...

Master of One - Prologue

I've been messing around with some different additions and pacing for introducing some of the concepts I want to go over. I haven't been particularly happy with any of them, so I spent a few days t...

Magic Notebook - Chapter 4(b)

You can consider this a different branch of the Magic Notebook story. Chronologically it takes place a while after Dan's encounter with Jennifer and Song, and it represents a departure from the ori...

Master of One - Chapter 11

I may wind up needing to re-write Talo's portion of this pretty heavily. It's a little info-dump-y right now, but at the same time, there's a ton of stuff going on in the world that Logan - which m...

Master of One - Chapter 10

Starting to build out the world a little more. I had a basic map of the continent in mind, I'm starting to fill it out a little more in wonderdraft so I have an accurate gauge for where things are ...

Master of One - Incarnation - Current Status

This post will be kept relatively up to date with the latest version of Master of One - Incarnation, for easy reading.

Master of One - Chapter 9

The next couple chapters will probably flip back and forth a bit between Daniel and Tif. I've decided to slow down the plot a little at the beginning compared to previous iterations, to give me a c...

Master of One - Chapters 7 and 8

I'm trying something new this time around - some of the chapters and sections are going to follow other characters. I don't think I could do that for Augur - most of the characters viewpoints are m...

Master of One Chapter 6

Next MoO chapter done, and I've got a bunch more in the works. I'm trying to mix up the introductions of characters, their stories, world history and setting info without going too heavily in one d...

Master of One Chapter 5

It sounds obvious when I say it this way, but: it's turning out to be very helpful to have introduced one of the fundamental conflicts more openly and obviously.

The 'secrecy vs openness' the...

Master of One Chapter 4

I'm enjoying how this story is starting to shape up. I feel like introducing one of the longer-term conflicts immediately is the right call here, because it acts as a good way to give a kind of the...

Master of One - Chapter 3

Caught something when my girlfriend's parents were here. It's hard to write a good sex scene when you're sneezing nonstop, so the Magic Notebook chapter is still in progress.

I'm still workin...

Master of One - Chapters 1 and 2

Revision d now, I think.

Chapter 1 mostly unchanged, except different stats on the stat sheet.

The bandit fight has some big differences, I'm testing out writing his initial physical po...

Master of One - Chapters 1 and 2

Just a quick update: Girlfriend's parents have been in town the last couple days, so not a ton of writing accomplished. I took a stab at re-doing MoO in 3rd person, trying to be slightly less granu...

Revised Augur B2 Chapter 18 and Epilogue

I have completed my most recent pass through editing Augur, and am ready to hand it off to my editor. I'm hoping there aren't a ton of revisions to come out of that-mostly language updates and such...

Quick Update

Thanksgiving Holiday, so a little less writing than usual, but I'm getting back on track. I've been doing revisions of the final two chapters and I think I'm going to wind up rewriting them both co...

Revised Augur B2 Chapter 17

More of this was rough draft than I remembered, but there still aren't enormous changes. Mostly updating tone and tightening language again to keep things nice and descriptive.

Only two and a...

Revised Augur B2 Chapter 16

Only big changes are at the end - Zarina's scene was a very rough draft, so that's been mostly rewritten, but the rest is just tightened up a bit.

Revised Augur B2 Chapter 15

Updated chapter 15. Slightly more changes than I thought, but nothing big - mostly it just required some tightening up here and there to make everything flow better.
