Life and insanity

Things have been a bit nuts, as have I.

Currently going to try to get back into this on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Sorry to have disappeared for a bit.

SSD 4.22 - The Illusion of Life

And for my next trick... Patreon will utterly murder my formatting...

For me, there is very little difference between magic and art. To me, the ultimate act of magic is to create s...

New Cover

I have been working on a new cover for a bit. Tell me what you think.

SSD 4.21 - Building the Mists

Sometimes I really feel like I don't deserve all of your amazing support. I know that is probably my own mind highlighting the bad and not the good. However, it makes me stay immensely grateful for...

SSD 4.20 - Moving Pondward

Yeah... so... sorry about that. Apparently my medication makes hyperfocus worse. Which explains why I read a ~1.4 million word fic in the last week. It was enjoyable, but I cannot truly say that it...

Life Stuff

Turns out I have one of the rare side-effects of ADHD, hyperfocus. So ridiculously focused on something right now, probably take another few days if the focus lasts.

Didn't even know hyperfoc...

SSD 4.19 - Where the Wild Things Are

Things were a little hectic, had to deal with a few computer things, but I managed to get a chapter in.

“To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire; and where they...

SSD 4.18 - Breakfast Meeting

Here is the chapter. Nothing too interesting to report. Going to be going to pride this coming weekend. I am quite looking forward to it.

Companions, in misery and worse, that is w...

SSD 4.17 - Interlude Continued - In the Water

The interlude continues. It ended up plenty longer enough, so that was good.

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.

Exsan was l...

SSD 4.16 - Interlude - No Pain, No Gain

Sorry this took a few days. There have been innumerable distractions and issues over the last few days. To name a few: incessant pounding as people replaced the roof, a migraine, lack of sleep (due...

SSD 4.15 - A Tempest in a Teapot

Had a review that only gave me 2.5 stars on Royal Road. I have been trying not to let it get to me, but it still bugs me. Anyway, if you guys can do your own reviews, or go vote on the reviews that...

SSD 4.14 - The Alloyed Truth

Feeling much better today. So here is a little bit longer chapter. Taking me longer to get through the details of runes and emblems, but hopefully it doesn't bore anyone.

Do not co...

Migraine

Have a migraine today. I get them occasionally, and they suck. They are family thing, we get tension migraines, and our back just tense up for no good reason.

So no writing from me today.&nbs...

SSD 4.13 - Simply Enchanting

Next chapter still needs to deal with runes and emblems more, but I enjoyed what I was able to do here. Hope you all enjoy it as well. Feel free to critique the system I use for enchantments. I hav...

SSD 4.12 - Assessing the Gravity of the Situation

A few people guessed some of the things I was going to talk about in this chapter, so good for you guys!

“I like the cover," he said. "Don't Panic. It's the first helpful or inte...

SSD 4.11 - A History Writ in Stone and Fire

Here you go guys and gals. Hope you enjoy. Watch out for the cliff.

“The Deccan Traps volcanoes spilled as much as a half million cubic miles of basalt over an area equal to half...

Taking a break once a week

Had a few people express some concerns about me burning out. So I decided I am going to schedule in a single day of break a week. So I am going to do that today.

I would expect most of my bre...

SSD 4.10 - Spiraling Down

This chapter is about 3000 words, so it took a little longer to write. Still, here it is.

I would like to metamorphose into a mouse-mountain.
-Walter Benjamin

==Zidaun==<...

SSD 4.09 - Fish in the Water

These last few chapters have been my first opportunities to write action scenes. Not sure what people think of them, or how they are going. Hopefully you are all enjoying the fights.

SSD 4.08 - Social Grooming

And now we continue in the sewers.

“Sure, 'Les Miserables' can be melodramatic. And seeing the musical instead of reading the novel will save you some time and spare you the long...

SSD 4.07 - Long Green Vines

Just hit 100 patrons, which is both strange and wonderful. Thank you all for supporting my writing.

Had a little too much with the humor of this chapter. Also did some very obvious lamp-shadi...

SSD 4.06 - Money is Power

Took a little pushing to get a chapter done today, but I am going to try and keep it up. Hopefully I can make a new habit out of it.

If money go before, all ways do lie open.” 2022-05-12 02:26:26 +0000 UTC View Post

SSD 4.05 - Dimensional Theory

I might be powering my writing by draining the luck from my roommates. Over the last two days, one's car caught fire, and the other had the wooden stairs in the back break while he was one them. 2022-05-11 05:24:03 +0000 UTC View Post

SSD 4.04 - A Map for the Future

And now we continue our productivity adventure. Also, a shout out to bukvyrm for posting a review. I really do apprec...

SSD 4.3 - Day and Night

Made a slight alteration to chapter 4.1, and mentioned the last group fought before the end of the tower, and that they went through another dozen rooms or so.

A big shout out to everyone tha...

Art - Arc 3

First, a request. 

For anyone who hasn't taken the time to rate me on RoyalRoad, it would be very much appreciated. Also remember that if you rated the old version, I created a new page ...

SSD 4.2 - Training Like a Boss

Surprise!

I was feeling great tonight, so I cranked out another chapter over the last few hours.

We seem to believe it is possible to ward off death by following rules of goo...

SSD 4.1 - Plate-Rodents of Unusual Size

I am glad I get to start showing you all the rest of the dungeon. Hope you enjoy it.

“Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabba...

SSD 4.0 - Arc 4 – Into the Dungeon

This is the entry to Arc 4, hopefully it gives a little more context and worldbuilding that you enjoy.

Don't worry, I am guaranteeing at least one more chapter this month. Hopefully, two.

SSD 3.21 - Meetings

Had a little trouble with medication this month, since I am trying out something new. Seemed to really help a week or two after taking it, but then made things worse as the dosage stabilized at a h...
