Fortnightly Update, Episode 1

Hey there and welcome back to the Fortnightly Update! Read on for story progress, updates, and more.

Story Progress

The story that is planned to cover Episodes 5 and 6 of Illusions of Grandeur are going slowly but surely: it’s been one of those stories that started out with a silly idea and became a story that required a considerable amount of research for the sake of realism. I’ve ended up having to rewrite a lot of it, but as of today I’m back to the word count before the revision.

The story for Episodes 7 through 10 is also almost finished: this story is pretty different from the others I’ve written so far and I’m still keeping it a tightly guarded secret, but in my opinion it is the most opulent, bleak, and gruesome thing I’ve written so far so I’m excited to share it when it’s done.

As far as publishing goes, once episode 10 of Illusions of Grandeur is out you can expect the Kindle ebook version to be released about a month and a half after.

Personal Challenges

For May I challenged myself to write 200 words a day to help me get more accustomed to writing in larger spurts every day. I knocked that challenge out of the park, so for June I’m upping the challenge to try 600 words a day! It’s going to be quite a lot more challenging but I’m hoping that getting that much out each day will help me improve my writing muscles and get my creative works out faster.

Live Reading Coming the 12th and 13th!

To celebrate my one year publishing anniversary on June 12th I’m going to be reading my story ‘Their Eyes Were Dust’ live on Instagram at 5pmPST!
If you don’t have access to Instagram I’ll also be doing a live reading on the 13th on Twitch at 5pm PST. The Twitch stream should remain available for viewing a few days after the live event ends if you’re not able to be there for the time.
If the recording is particularly good I’ll make sure to embed the video here on my website as well for your viewing pleasure!

That’s all I have for this week, so I’ll see you in a fortnight!
